JAKE WOOD EVANS : RELIC
Apr 10 - May 2, 2020
Following his current success at his solo exhibition at Winchester Discovery Centre’s Gallery with Hampshire Cultural Trust, ‘Relic’ will be continue at Unit London from 10 April - 2 May. Jake Wood Evan’s new body of work is a continuation of the artists’ exploration of memory and mortality. Returning to his enduring love of the Baroque for inspiration, the likes of Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Nicolas Poussin and Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre form the conceptual genesis for Relic. Here Wood Evans moves further into abstraction than ever before, as the reference piece is transformed he uses the canvas to examine the tangibility, or lack thereof, of our existence. Jake claims he has always been just as interested in what is absent, missing or removed, than what remains; he hopes these new paintings have the power to engage and captivate the viewer for even the briefest moment, to provide the opportunity for a meditative and emotional response.

FILTHY LUCRE : WHISTLER'S PEACOCK ROOM REIMAGINED
Jan 25 - May 3, 2020
Filthy Lucre is an immersive installation by contemporary American artist Darren Waterston, presenting a detailed reimagining of James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s famed Peacock Room – the sumptuous 19th- century dining room once housed just a stone’s throw away from the V&A. Waterston has faithfully recreated each of the room’s individual elements with a twist, with the installation revealing a magnificent ruin crumbling under the weight of material decadence and the egos of those involved in
its creation. On display for the first time in UK, the installation is inspired by the tension between art and money, ego and patronage.

KIMONO : KYOTO TO CATWALK
Jan 29, 2020 - Jun 21, 2021
This exhibition will present the kimono as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion, revealing the sartorial, aesthetic and social significance of the garment from the 1660s to the present day, both in Japan and the rest of the world. Rare 17th and 18th century kimono will be displayed for the first time in the UK, together with fashions by major designers and iconic film and performance costumes. The kimono’s recent reinvention on the streets of Japan will also be explored through work by an exciting new wave of contemporary designers and stylists. Highlights of the exhibition include a kimono created by Living National Treasure Kunihiko Moriguchi, the dress designed for Björk by Alexander McQueen and worn on the album cover Homogenic, and original Star Wars costumes modelled on kimono by John Mollo and Trisha Biggar.

FABIENNE VERDIER : THE VORTEX PAINTINGS
Apr 29 - Jun 27, 2020
Private view Tue Apr 28
In these large-scale paintings, seen for the first time at Waddington Custot, Verdier continues her exploration into the painting of sounds and music, in particular the visual representation of breathing techniques employed by sopranos performing Mozart’s arias. The Vortex Paintings are characterised by a single large, whirling helix, created with giant brushes and tools of the artist's own invention. For this series, the artist has newly adapted her studio environment to incorporate a mobile platform, which enables her to stand directly above the work to paint new, fluid expressions from the centre of the canvas.
 
Fabienne Verdier: The Vortex Paintings coincides with a solo presentation of Verdier’s work at Frieze New York (6–10 May 2020) on the Waddington Custot booth.

CHRYSALIS
Mar 9 - May 5, 2020
Private view Thu Apr 16 5pm - 8pm
Wimbledon Space is pleased to host 'Chrysalis', an exhibition, curated by Bruce Ingram, bringing together four artists who explore sculptural form in dynamic and often temporal outcomes. The group of artists share an energetic interest in materials and employ assemblage in exciting and playful ways; the transformation of the everyday is an ongoing thread between each artist. The works in the exhibition celebrate temporal notions of sculptural practice - the acts of fixing, stacking, tying and leaning will create a sculptural playground of works that will be shuffled and evolve over the duration.

Mar 6 - Apr 18, 2020
David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition of studies by Bridget Riley in The Upper Room in the London gallery. The artist has selected a group of works from the 1980s and 1990s that reflect the connection between the writings of Paul Klee (1879–1940) and her own understanding of abstract painting. As Riley has noted, “Paul Klee was of seminal importance to me because he showed me what abstraction meant.” [1] Late works by the Bauhaus master will be on display concurrently on the ground and first floors.
