SALLY MORFILL & SUSAN GILES: FOUND GESTURES
Jun 8 - 30, 2019
Susan Giles and Sally Morfill’s collaborative work stems from their shared interest in the visual language of co-speech gestures. They use motion capture technology to record the hand movements that accompany descriptive statements, and translate them into 2-D drawings and 3-D objects. For Five Years, the work takes the form of a series of 3-D printed sculptures providing material traces of movement as it relates to the spoken word. This is the second phase in a collaboration that began with a residency and exhibition at Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago in Spring 2019. Please see website for details of opening hours and events.

LUCY JONES : LANDSCAPE AND INSCAPE
May 23 - Jul 6, 2019
Flowers Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Lucy Jones, including a portrait of artist Grayson Perry, commissioned by the Attenborough Arts Centre (University of Leicester) which will be displayed for the first time. The exhibition coincides with a new book Awkward Beauty published by Elephant (23 May 2019.)
 
British artist Lucy Jones is renowned for her raw, wild landscapes and distinctively provocative self-portraits, characterised by expressive brushwork and bold use of vibrant colour. Balancing an intricate rendering of line and space in her landscapes with the powerful simplicity of her portraits, Jones’s paintings conduct a journey through both interior landscapes and the external world beyond.

ESTHER TEICHMANN : ON SLEEPING AND DROWNING
May 3 - Jun 22, 2019 FINAL WEEK
Flowers Gallery is delighted to announce a solo exhibition by London-based artist Esther Teichmann. Working with photography across still and moving image installations, Teichmann looks at the relationships between loss, desire and the imaginary, slipping between autobiography and fiction.
 
On Sleeping and Drowning transforms the gallery space into a layered liquid montage of photographs, painted backdrops, moving image, sound and objects. Cyanotype seaweed creatures are juxtaposed with painted photographic backdrops of caves, a boat with cloud sails, and photographs of women sleeping, dreaming and swimming through otherworldly spaces.

OLIVER PERKINS & PATRICK LUNDBERG : ON EMPTINESS
May 23 - Jun 22, 2019 FINAL WEEK
This exhibition seeks to develop a conversation between two series or rather two categories of work by artists Patrick Lundberg and Oliver Perkins. Lundberg’s ‘Sets’ and Perkins’ ‘string and dowel works‘. The affiliation between these bodies of work lies broadly in both artist’s co-habitation of a position in painting that seeks to circumvent representation and more precisely, in closely calibrated attempts, to invoke the world through perceptual experience.

READING/WRITING KLEPTOMANIA: IN ART AND FEMINISM
May 8 - Jul 10, 2019 to 12:00am talk/event
Kleptomania is an impulse control disorder defined by compulsive bouts of stealing: either worthless items, or things that can be easily paid for.
Like hysteria, it was first medicalized as a condition in the nineteenth century, and like hysteria, it was seen as a ‘feminine’ disease. This ‘reading/writing’ group will meet for 5 sessions to read critical and fictional texts engaged with histories and practices of kleptomania, in art and everyday life. We will consider the feminist potential of the kleptomaniac. We will practice and share ‘kleptomaniac’ writing. We will steal.
 
The sessions take place on Wednesdays, 2-4.30pm on the following dates:
 
8 May
22 May
5 June
26 June
10 July
The ticket price is for the full course, not individual sessions.
 
Alice Butler is a writer and academic based in London. She is currently the Freud Museum Writer in Residence, where she is working on kleptomania and feminist art. Her art writing has been published in frieze, Cabinet and Art Monthly, amongst other publications.

OLGA JEVRIC : SPATIAL COMPOSITIONS
Jun 28 - Aug 2, 2019
Olga Jevrić’s work has a special place in the pantheon of post-war European sculpture. Born in Belgrade in 1922 Jevrić developed her unique visual language at a time when, amidst the ideological constraints of Socialist Realism, there was little space for personal expression. Yugoslavia’s 1948 schism with the Soviet Union marked the start of a new era for the country. A turn to the West led, amongst other things, to a Henry Moore exhibition, which travelled to Belgrade, Zagreb and Ljubljana in 1955. The following year the exhibition Modern Art in United States: Selection from the Collection of MOMA NY toured the country, while 1958-9 saw the important architectural exhibition Built in USA: Post War Architecture do the rounds of Yugoslavia.

LÁSZLÓ MOHOLY-NAGY
May 22 - Sep 7, 2019
Hauser & Wirth is proud to present an exhibition of works by László Moholy-Nagy coinciding with the centenary of the Bauhaus in 2019. The show in London will provide a deeper understanding of this restless innovator, artist, educator and writer, considered one of the most influential figures of the avant-garde. The works in the exhibition span a period from the early 1920s to the 1940s revealing a diverse practice that defies categorisation, moving fluidly between disciplines that encompassed photography, painting, sculpture, film and design. Curated by Daniel Hug – the artist’s grandson – the exhibition examines Moholy-Nagy as a proto-conceptualist, whose work interrogated the role of the art object and the artist in society, anticipating questions posed by subsequent generations of artists.

KISS MY GENDERS
Jun 12 - Sep 8, 2019
In summer 2019 Hayward Gallery will open Kiss My Genders, a group exhibition celebrating more than 30 international artists whose work explores and engages with gender fluidity, as well as non-binary, trans and intersex identities.
 
Kiss My Genders features works from the late 1960s and early 1970s through to the present moment, and focuses on artists who draw on their own experiences to create content and forms that challenge accepted or stable definitions of gender.
 
Working across painting, immersive installations, sculpture, text, photography and film, many of these artists treat the body as a sculpture, and in doing so open up new possibilities for gender, beauty and representations of the human form.
