MICHAEL LANDY : 20 YEARS OF PRESSING HARD
Jun 6 - Jul 27, 2013
It has been nearly twenty years since Michael Landy covered all the walls, top to bottom, of City Racing Gallery with small signs, symbols and figures, highly-stylised and personalised, boldly drawn in marker pen. The twenty-year anniversary of 'Run For Your Life', 1993, is an exciting pretext to stage a retrospective of works on paper by one of the truly original - and resolute - artists of his time. Landy is also about to be celebrated at The National Gallery, London, with an exhibition, 'Saints Alive', the conclusion of his two-year residency.

SHARON DREW : LIGHT-WAVES
Jun 5 - 30, 2013
Sharon Drew’s recent acrylics combine intellectual rigour with aesthetic delight to please eye and heart, and stimulate the mind. Her complex, layered abstracts play at the far edge of figuration – with suggestions of flood and fire, wave and sun. The heart of her work is a passionate dialogue with restless process – from chance staining to precise brushstroke. This vivid conversation between the act of making and the resulting forms, produces dynamic shifts in style, motif and palette. A happy state of flux animates each piece and engages the viewer with gorgeous colour, mesmeric line and seductive ambiguity.

PER KIRKEBY: NEW PAINTINGS
Jun 5 - Jul 27, 2013
Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of recent paintings by Danish artist Per Kirkeby. This is the first exhibition in London of new works by the artist since his 2009 retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern.
The eight paintings on view explore the indeterminate space between nature and abstraction that has fascinated the artist for decades. The works are populated by seemingly figurative forms—trees, planks, human figures or the mouths of caves—which encourage a range of associations beyond those typically derived from landscape motifs. Kirkeby’s recent paintings engage in a complex play of scale and spatial depth, challenging conventional expectations of pictorial space. Viewers familiar with Kirkeby’s often somber pictures will be immediately struck by the vibrant colors that further enhance the disorienting atmosphere of these paintings.

MATTHEW HARRISON & GARY SIMMONDS : SHAPES AND COLOURS
Jun 27 - Aug 3, 2013
Private view Wed Jun 26 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Shapes and Colours is an ongoing project that brings together the work of painter Gary Simmonds and object-maker Matthew Harrison. While Simmonds' interest lies in abstraction and decoration, Harrison deals with the functionality of art objects in relation to craft and design. Yet, a mutual interest in Dazzle camouflage has aligned the two practices in an unrestricted collaborative process.
 
With differing but related points of view, the convergence of Harrison and Simmonds' approaches has generated unexpected possibilities, which share the spirit and functionality of the historical development of Dazzle camouflage.
 
The exhibition at West Lane South will reveal the process of the continuing project, underpinned by a focus on the structure and aesthetics of the bicycle frame, which forms a departure point for the unpicking of divisions between fine art and design.

This is Mehretu’s first major solo exhibition in London and features new and recent paintings, some of which are presented within a specially constructed environment designed by David Adjaye in close collaboration with the artist.

MATTHEW BOOTH : INSIDE THE WHITE CUBE
May 1 - Jul 7, 2013
Matthew Booth’s photographs seem to work against an overarching feeling that a subtle detail has been brutally altered in the picture. He is interested in complicating the threshold between straight and staged photography, expanding the ways by which a photograph might originate.

ERIN SHIREFF : INSIDE THE WHITE CUBE
May 1 - Jul 7, 2013
In a new series of unique photographs, Erin Shirreff conjures celestial bodies from the most commonplace of sources, creating images of faraway moons or asteroids from the daily residue of her studio. Shirreff has, in recent years, developed a unique video idiom: she re-photographs a found photograph hundreds of times under a range of different lighting conditions before digitally suturing the stills into a seamless video.

JAC LEIRNER : HARDWARE SILK
May 17 - Jul 6, 2013
This will be the first solo exhibition in London by Brazilian artist Jac Leirner, whose participation in dOCUMENTA (IX) in 1992 marked her as one of Latin America's leading conceptual artists. The title ‘Hardware Silk’ derives from Leirner’s obsessive accumulation of ordinary ‘found’ objects and ready-mades that become materials for her art. The show will include sculptural wall reliefs, a group of watercolours and a single, 19 metre-long installation that divides the lower-ground floor gallery.

ELIZABETH MAGILL : QUASI-REAL & BRANCH-LIKE
May 17 - Jun 30, 2013
Wilkinson Gallery is pleased to present its third solo exhibition with London based artist Elizabeth Magill. The exhibition on both floors of the gallery brings together a body of work made over the past several years. Magill works through a sequence of interlinked stages, using a variety of techniques and handling of paint; the initial stages are as much about figuring out of the nature of paint, rather than nature itself. Mistakes and discoveries that occur throughout the painting process are revealed to the viewer hence involving the audience in the image making process.

DONALD JUDD
Jun 21 - Aug 3, 2013
Private view Thu Jun 20 6pm - 8pm
The exhibition at David Zwirner, London is the first gallery presentation of this seminal artist in London in nearly fifteen years and the first significant exhibition of Judd’s work in the U.K. since his 2004 retrospective at Tate Modern, London.

THE UPPER ROOM | READING THE SURFACE
Jun 21 - Aug 3, 2013
Opening to coincide with the London gallery’s first solo exhibition of works by Donald Judd, Reading the Surface takes a minimalist approach to the notion of surface. With artists including Nina Beier, Ryan Gander, Bob Law, George Henry Longly, John McCracken, and Maaike Schoorel, the show considers different attitudes to the surfaces of artworks, focusing on the dialectic between viewing at a glance and deeper reflection. With art typically encountered on short visits to museums and galleries, viewing experiences are often dictated by temporal and spatial concerns. Exploring themes of absence, materiality, and anxiety, the works in the show can be seen to negate, and even ignore, the ideas beneath the surface.
