CONRAD SHAWCROSS : AFTER THE EXPLOSION, BEFORE THE COLLAPSE
Sep 13 - Oct 27, 2018
An exhibition of new works by Conrad Shawcross marks a significant development of the artist’s Paradigm sculptures and features two new mechanical works in addition to a unique new sequence of photographic prints created by firing a laser through a series of faults in glass fragments. United by an aesthetic akin to that of scientific models, the abstract works continue to deal with notions of time, entropy and disappearance.

TARO IZUMI
Sep 14 - Nov 10, 2018
Based in Tokyo, Izumi (b. 1976, Nara, Japan) is one of Japan’s leading artists working with multimedia and collaborative practice. Izumi uses video as a recursive apparatus for exploring the mechanisms of art making, while also commenting on the materiality of video by combining it with structural and architectural interventions into the exhibition space. Made with disarmingly simple materials, these structures are often used in the production of the videos, creating a recursive loop between space and video, production and reception, recorded time and real time.

The Waiting Room responds to the psycho-geography of the new Wimbledon Space – the original 1930’s foyer of the College. The foyer acted as a transitory space, where one might make a stop before being directed elsewhere. A place to gather our thoughts before our appointment, a portal to a new beginning, a moment where we have nothing to do but wait.
Waiting rooms are familiar places with familiar objects that are often calming and aid to make us feel at ease; the seating, a table with magazines, plants, daytime programmes on TV, a painting, a clock, and information posters. This exhibition locates artists who make objects reminiscent of those found in these rooms and brings them together to create a sculptural-collage installation in an undefined third space.

RYOKO AOKI + ZON ITO
Sep 7 - Dec 6, 2018
The first joint exhibition of the two independent artists in the UK.
 
The two artists’ works fusion and produce synergy, resulting in even more depth and complexity. The exhibition touches the issues of consciousness, unconsciousness and character building process of young children. In this context, the subliminal is treated as inevitable trajectory of mind, and chance happenings, failures or mistakes are given status of legitimate works. ‘Perfect' does not exist', may be the order of the day, as seen by their general practice of not going too far, in fear of doing excess. The explicit choice of Ito to opt for hard to manipulate media such as embroidery or clay, also reflects his open invitation for unexpected and his aesthetics to dismiss doing too much in guise of approaching perfection.

360: THE VIRTUAL REALITY ROOM
throughout the year
Throughout the year, Zabludowicz Collection will be presenting Virtual Reality works in a dedicated environment. 360 gives a unique opportunity to see how artists are experimenting with this new technology in increasingly ambitious ways, creating immersive experiences that defy the conventional logic of film and video and evoke visceral sensations. Artists include Rachel Rossin and Jordan Wolfson. Further details of the programme will be announced in early 2018.

360: JORDAN WOLFSON
Sep 20 - Oct 21, 2018 FINAL WEEK
Over the past decade, Jordan Wolfson (b. 1980, New York), has created an ambitious body of work comprised of video installation, digital mix media, and sculpture.
 
Blurring the distinction between the real and imagined, Real Violence (2017) is a virtual reality film where spectators are implicated as witnesses to a context-less assault. The audience watches, without any ability to intervene, as one man (played by the artist) beats another to death with a baseball bat. Rather than focusing on virtual reality’s interactive properties, Wolfson explores the medium’s capacity to isolate and immerse. Typical experiences of violence seen in the news media or on Youtube are often taken for granted. In this installation Wolfson forces the audience to confront their desensitization to real violence and the disempowerment that is inherent to a screen oriented perspective.

JOSEFINE REISCH | INVITES
Sep 20 - Oct 28, 2018
Josefine Reisch’s works seduce the viewer with haunted textures of the already seen. Working through traditional mediums such as tromp l'oeil painting, portraiture and textile, she creates moments of recognition. She questions the value and validity of European cultural heritage as she reassembles historical moments and figures into jumbled compositions, much like a musical medley. Engaging in a feminist reading of historiography her work triggers new readings and uncertainty within this déjà-vu.
 
For her solo exhibition titled Celetoids Reisch reflects on how the depiction of female subjects create value, specifically linking two moments from across the centuries, Renaissance portraiture and contemporary selfie culture.

RACHEL MACLEAN
Sep 20 - Dec 16, 2018
Rachel Maclean (b.1987, Edinburgh) has rapidly established herself as one of the most distinctive creative voices in the UK. Creating baroque, hyper-real worlds using green-screen video and computer animation, and playing many of the extravagantly costumed characters herself, Maclean spins razor-sharp fables that combine comedy and horror. Her work offers a powerful critique of contemporary society and its underlying fears and desires.

360: PAUL MCCARTHY
Oct 25 - Nov 18, 2018
American artist Paul McCarthy is known for his provocative performances, multi-media installations, sculptures, and films. His work fuses high and low culture and corrupts conventionally innocent figures from myth, folklore and popular iconography. Religious or fairy tale characters are made perverse and perform taboo sex acts, creating a sharp, yet comical criticism of American mythology and accepted societal norms. McCarthy bombards the audience with a sensory overload, of sexual and violent imagery that often makes viewers feel uncomfortable and stirs controversy.
Commissioned and produced by Khora Contemporary and first presented at the Venice Biennale in 2017, C.S.S.C. Coach Stage Stage Coach revisits McCarthy ongoing series “Coach Stage Stage Coach,” and led to 11 variations of the piece in virtual reality.
