DAPHNE WRIGHT : A QUIET MUTINY - PERSISTS
Sep 11 - Nov 14, 2020
Daphne Wright's work manoeuvres things into well-wrought but delicate doubt. Shifting between tautness and mess, it sets imagery, materials and language in constant metaphorical motion.
A quiet mutiny - persists follows on from the artist's recent exhibition A quiet mutiny at Crawford Art Gallery, Cork. This assemblage of objects, videos, and works on paper addresses the poignancy as well as the mundanity of everyday domestic life. Wright has created scenes that are imbued with melancholic familiarity; recreating in dried but unfired clay objects including a child's pushchair, houseplants and a fridge. The artist has chosen these things because of their momentary quality; they are only fleetingly valued in our daily lives. Wright is a careful and scrupulous observer and at first glance, all is usually calm and peaceful, but here the innocuousness of the utterly familiar takes on a strange and subtle sense of the ineffable.
The exhibition also contains two new video works. Song of Songs investigates the relationships adults have with more vulnerable family members. Is everyone ok? features an older man seemingly in poor health with his face painted like a lion and bearing the mental scars of a career spent in middle management. He repeats team-building clichés, interspersing these with personal responses to queries about his wife's health. The effect is unsettling as he resides at the interface between work and retirement, usefulness and redundancy.

EDUARDO NAVARRO : (BREATHSPACE)
Oct 1 - Dec 20, 2020
Gasworks presents the first UK solo exhibition by Buenos Aires-based artist Eduardo Navarro. His work moves away from representation, instead creating sensorial experiences with the potential to induce a radical transformation of the self and others.
 
In recent years, Navarro has sought to adopt the slow metabolism of a reptile, experimented with ways of embodying the physical properties of light, and invited a large group of people to animate a giant mechanical octopus, in order for them to become part of its decentralised nervous system.
 
Originally scheduled for April 2020, Navarro’s plans for the exhibition at Gasworks had consisted of transforming the gallery’s architecture into a living, breathing organism: a large-scale artificial lung that would inhale and exhale air from the street. Conceived months before the COVID-19 outbreak, this immersive installation was designed for visitors to sync their body’s most vital functions with one another, offering a space for collective meditation and oceanic breathing.
 
As the exhibition was postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic, Navarro started drawing daily during the lockdown in Buenos Aires. In his words, this practice enabled him to ‘relocate the studio to inside my own head’, revealing the act of drawing as a timely medium for speculative thinking. Produced in self-isolation, the hundreds of sketches that result from this experience act as a portal connecting dimensions, past and future visions, unrealised and perhaps unrealisable ideas.
 
Inspired by the insights of quantum physics, according to which information in the universe cannot be created nor ever destroyed, Navarro’s work resists the prevailing sense of melancholia towards all the possibilities foreclosed by the pandemic. Instead of looking back at what the exhibition could have been, Navarro’s unpretentious drawings metabolise the original breathing installation, enacting its transformative spirit in a more intimate language.
 
Eduardo Navarro’s exhibition is commissioned and produced by Gasworks. Gasworks commissions are supported by Catherine Petitgas and Gasworks Exhibitions Supporters.

CHRISTOPHER THOMAS : BITTERSWEET
Sep 2 - Oct 7, 2020
Hamiltons presents Bittersweet, a new series of photographs made by German photographer Christopher Thomas over the past ten years. Taken in multiple locations around the world, the photographs show a range of subjects from a discovered bar in Galveston, Texas to an abandoned fairground ride near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukraine. The photographs oscillate between sadness and joy, regret and nostalgia, youth and experience, evoking a loss of innocence as childhood is left behind. They share an eerie, cinematic tension and mostly an absence of human figures suggesting an air of abandonment.
“In ‘Bittersweet’ we are invited to imagine the drama inherent in the clues running through each scene… There is an unavoidable sense of decline in this series which the passage of time inevitably inflicts on places and structures that were once full of activity and are subsequently falling into ruin. But many of these photographs will raise a smile of recognition and return us to carefree, youthful hedonism. Age brings experience and disappointment, but ‘Bittersweet’ reminds us of rites of passage from the simple thrill of ice creams on the beach to our early love affairs and dancing through the night until dawn.” – Joshua White ‘Bittersweet’, 2020
Without a natural ending, Thomas hopes to keep expanding Bittersweet for the rest of his life. He cites the influence of Edward Hopper’s paintings on the project and his admiration for the photography of Roger Ballen and Paulo Ventura.
Christopher Thomas has been represented by Hamiltons for over 8 years during which time the gallery has mounted two exhibitions devoted to his photographs of Los Angeles and Venice. He began his career as a commercial photographer for German magazines including GEO, Stern and Merian.
A book about the work has been published with an introduction by Hamiltons Gallery owner Tim Jefferies and an essay by Hamiltons Gallery director Joshua White.

HELMUT NEWTON : HIGH GLOSS
Oct 16, 2020 - Jan 8, 2021
To mark what would have been Helmut Newton’s 100th birthday on 31 October 2020, Hamiltons is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition of exceedingly rare ‘ferrotyped’ prints from the 1970s. Helmut Newton: High Gloss, 16 October 2020 – 8 January 2021, will feature many of Newton’s most famous photographs including Elsa Peretti, Rue Aubriot and Woman Examining Man. To accompany the exhibition and celebrate the centenary, Hamiltons is publishing a limited-edition book with illustrations of each photograph, with an essay by Newton’s personal friend and renowned photography specialist Philippe Garner, and a second essay by Vasilios Zatse of The Irving Penn Foundation.

AMONG THE TREES
Aug 1 - Oct 31, 2020
In meditative works across different media, they explore how trees – with lifespans much longer than our own – challenge how we think about time, and consider how intimately entangled they are with human affairs.
They invite us to appreciate their soaring scale, in art works such as a monumental sculpture cast from a 2,000-year-old olive tree by Ugo Rondinone, a cinematic portrait of a 30-metre-high spruce tree by Eija-Liisa Ahtila, and a vast forest of trees constructed entirely from cardboard by Eva Jospin.
Among the Trees transports us around the world – from Colombian rainforests and remote Japanese islands to olive orchards in Israel and a 9,550-year-old spruce in Sweden.
At a time when the destruction of the world’s forests is accelerating at a record pace, see the natural world through new eyes, on a walk through the woods, real and imagined.
 
Featured artists:
Robert Adams, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Yto Barrada, Johanna Calle, Gillian Carnegie, Tacita Dean, Peter Doig, Jimmie Durham, Kirsten Everberg, Simryn Gill, Rodney Graham, Shi Guowei, Hugh Hayden, Eva Jospin, Kazuo Kadonaga, William Kentridge, Toba Khedoori, Luisa Lambri, Myoung Ho Lee, Zoe Leonard, Robert Longo, Sally Mann, Steve McQueen, Jean-Luc Mylayne, Mariele Neudecker, Virginia Overton, Roxy Paine, Giuseppe Penone, Abel Rodríguez, Ugo Rondinone, George Shaw, Robert Smithson, Jennifer Steinkamp, Thomas Struth, Rachel Sussman, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Jeff Wall.
The exhibition is kindly supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
