DMITRI PRIGOV : THEATRE OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTION
Oct 13 - Dec 17, 2017
Private view Thu Oct 12 6pm - 9pm
Calvert 22 Foundation is pleased to announce the first posthumous solo presentation of Dmitri Prigov’s work in the UK.
 
Prigov (1940–2007) was one of the leading figures of Moscow Conceptualism and is known for his varied and prolific work as a poet, performer and artist using installation, video, typewritten books and other media.
 
The exhibition reflects on the different ways theatricality and performance influenced Prigov’s oeuvre, focusing primarily on his work after the fall of the Soviet Union.
 
Organised in collaboration with the State Hermitage Museum, the Hermitage Foundation UK and the Dimitri Prigov Foundation, the exhibition centres around an installation based on a drawing from the museum’s collection and uses performativity as a way of understanding Prigov’s works and the ironic mystical world they evoke.

POST-BREXIT BRITISHNESS
Oct 9 - Nov 3, 2017
Private view Thu Oct 12 5:30pm - 8pm
Artists: Charlotte Reeve, Chloe Wyatt, Daisy Saul, Emma Guareschi, Jonathan Dixon and Marguerite Carnec.
 
Between the years of 1953 and 1982, Feliks Topolski published his ‘Chronicles of the Century’. Continuing the legacy of Topolski in the autumn of 2016, six young artists examined what ‘Britishness’ means as part of Topolski Studio’s Chronicle Residency Programme. The residents documented the shifting politics, people and landscapes of London, from Pearly Kings to Drag Queens. Three months of in-situ location drawing will be exhibited alongside the final product; a lithographic printed newspaper the ‘Chronicle’.
 
In this new post-truth age of social media journalism and distrust of the mainstream media from both the left and right, perhaps reportage can bridge the gap between the two, bringing a human element back into social documentary. We invite you to consider the role of the artist as reporter, as well as the ever-changing concept of what being ‘British’ means today.

MATIAS SERRA DELMAR : A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER
Sep 29 - Oct 31, 2017
Private view Fri Sep 29 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Matias Serra Delmar presents a bold and vibrant series of paintings informed by his observations of light in the Herefordshire countryside. His abstract works invite the viewer to contemplate what is seen through light, both natural and artificial.
Matias is interested in the effects light has on a landscape; the temporal transitory effects of natural light and the glaring impact of LED home and road and street lighting. The colour themes Matias utilises are inspired by the effects of both on the worked landscape of Herefordshire, and his paintings talk of the relationship we have with the modern landscape.

SAM JACKSON & DEREK RIDGERS : RUN TO ME
Oct 13 - Nov 11, 2017
Private view Thu Oct 12 6:30pm - 8:30pm
RUN TO ME brings together the work of painter Sam Jackson and photographer Derek Ridgers. Curated by Faye Dowling, the exhibition celebrates the sacred ceremonies of excess, desire and experimentation which intoxicate our youth.
 
British artists Ridgers and Jackson are united by an instinct to document the characters and compulsions that have driven the heart of our youth culture. Their photographs and paintings lead us into the nocturnal romances of passion and performance which ignite our passage of youth. The ceremonies of dressing up and dancing, the seduction of exposed flesh and of kissing in dark door ways. The melancholy and mischief, ecstasy and heart break.

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.

KATIE ALLEN
Oct 27 - Nov 11, 2017
Private view Thu Oct 26 6pm - 9pm
The origin of Katie's work is rooted in the landscape as she observes, records and paints the continually changing seasons transforming from spring to summer, summer to autumn to winter and back to spring again, primarily of the landscapes of her native South Wales. Katie knows nothing is static - everything is in a constant state of impermanent flux and change. Using this as her inspiration she transforms what she observes and that which is in her mind’s eye to a tangible painting, fixed and ordered from the transient and ephemeral. Her work, too, changes and transforms through the process of painting as she tries to create balance and harmony with composition, colour and surface. As new inspiration and ideas come to her though others' work and nature and as her practice continues to develop her painting slowly transforms and changes and this too cannot be fixed. Each finished piece is a captured moment within the changing cycle. The paintings explore the play of scale from macro to micro and the movement between representational and abstract.
