THE FUTURE IS CERTAIN; IT'S THE PAST WHICH IS UNPREDICTABLE
Jun 23 - Aug 20, 2017
A group show on writing and rewriting history.
 
"The future is certain", according to an old Soviet joke. "It's the past which is unpredictable."
 
This exhibition reflects on the ways history is written and the inevitability with which the past reasserts itself in the future.
 
Bringing together works from nine artists and collectives, The Future is Certain is an economy of ideas and artworks as well as historical facts and records that refuse to disappear on their own.
 
Participating artists and collectives: Felix Kalmenson, Jonas Mekas (in video conversation with Johnston Sheard and Justė Kostikovaitė), Deimantas Narkevičius, Emily Newman, Rather Than Happiness, Jura Shust, Slavs and Tatars, Emilija Škarnulytė, Juan Pablo Villegas

FELLED TREES : MAPLE LEAF AND CANADIAN IDENTITY
Jun 7 - Sep 2, 2017
David Garneau, Alex McLeod, Divya Mehra, Marianne Nicholson, Charles Pachter, and Diana Thorneycroft offer personal examinations of Canada that are simultaneously critical, playful, and political. Rather than defining national identity, these artists prove its more interesting—and possibly more useful—to continually mould national symbols to fit within ever shifting notions of identity within a Nation.

KENNETH ARMITAGE : THE OAK TREE SCULPTURES
Aug 7 - Sep 9, 2017
Known for his dynamic clusters of figures and single, often gestural studies, mostly of the female form, he worked largely in bronze. Although the critical focus changed throughout the following decades, he worked tirelessly through these times, experimenting with new materials and widening the scope of his interests. From the mid-1970s he made early morning visits to Richmond Park, not far from his West London studio, and drew the oak trees, revelling in their diversity of form, grouping and individuality. The sculptures in this exhibition, seen only occasionally in Britain, derive from these drawings and are in a wide range of scale and form.

STRANGELANDS
Jun 22 - Oct 4, 2017
These are extraordinary times.
Of unanchored worlds, ruptured spaces
Fabricated and dislocated places
Alternative languages, signs and systems
Confusions of reality and fictions.
Here are the dispossessed and the reinvented
The unfathomable, the inexplicable
The vampyres, visitors and hoodlums.

ADULT SWIM CURATED BY GERASIMOS FLORATOS
Jun 28 - Aug 4, 2017 FINAL WEEK
Adult Swim conjures an image of movement in a communal body of water, a metaphor for non-linear navigation of collective consciousness and the shared realms in which we work, play, and exist. The metaphor suggests a style of thinking or approach which we might employ to reveal a multitude of behaviours, ideas and moods; vignettes that rise from and float around the surface of the psyche.
 
The exhibition will bring together works by 14 artists who often communicate these 'navigations’ with a playful or humourous delivery. Though various in medium, the works are also connected by a seemingly rudimentary application of material, cartoonish in many cases, channeling transhistorical tropes of Pop Art, Abstract Expressionist posturing, surreal juxtapositions, Modernist regard for material, with a Postmodern nonchalance for mixing these references.

Private view Thu Aug 24 6:30pm - 8:30pm
The Landscape is an exhibition by Josephine Callaghan and Sarah Cameron.
 
Since meeting at an artist community set up by Sarah in Zarakes, Greece, the two artists have worked on the development of new work in parallel. The Landscape shows some of this work; unified through explorations of the romantic, the eerie and through the act of making within specific landscapes, with new and existing communities.
