GOOD AND BAD GOVERNMENT
Apr 7 - 22, 2018 FINAL WEEK
Artists FRANK CREBER, TIMOTHY HYMAN RA, MICHAEL JOHNSON, ANDREA MCLEAN, and VICTORIA RANCE have spent many happy hours working alongside their communities at the bottom of the telescope looking upwards at the machinery of government. Their diverse works tell a story about how the messy detail of a citizens lives are inextricably linked to the broader narrative of history, politics and belief systems. The show features images of the built environment and our complex engagement with nature. The artists, who will make new work for this exhibition, share an affinity with each other’s work and have a connection based on a deep commitment to observe and narrate personal chronicles about the social and physical landscape of their neighbourhoods.

COMMON GROUND, PRIVATE SPACE CHRISTINE PERCY AND LIZ HARRISON
Apr 28 - May 13, 2018
Private view Fri Apr 27 6.30pm - 8.30pm
Landscape contains multi-layered contexts relating to both the urban the rural and the bits in between, which have become, in recent years, a focus for the language of contemporary art and literature. It is difficult to view, as it existed in the past, as a sublime image. No longer offering the prospect of pastoral innocence, the industrial/technological landscape leaves its mark everywhere as scattered detritus, not only as physical leftovers but also changing the order and behaviour of the natural world. These paradoxical spaces, neither here nor there, offer intimate suggestions of human presence, where attempts have been made to use a space, but left abandoned. Bleak amalgamations of fragments of architectural structures expose and intensify the barrenness of an increasingly peripheral landscape.

MEQUITTA AHUJA : NOTATIONS
Apr 13 - Jun 2, 2018
Mequitta Ahuja’s recent work explores the currency of the figure of the artist at work in the history of European and American figurative painting. Merging the roles of artist-maker and subject, her monumental paintings depict the artist engrossed in various stages of her artistic process, often within the clearly defined architectural space of the studio. Demonstrating an interest beyond the medium itself, Ahuja’s self-portraits explore multiple modes of representation, including abstraction, text, naturalism, schematic description, graphic flatness and illusion. Working across multiple modalities of representation allows the artist to fulfil her own representational needs and to ask timely questions about the power dynamics underpinning image production and art history: who does the representing, who is represented and in what manner?

BOOM : ART AND INDUSTRY IN 1960S ITALY.
Apr 25 - Jun 16, 2018
Tornabuoni Art London is launching its new curatorial fellowship. Every year, a curator will be given the keys to the gallery’s collection, in order to find new threads connecting the artworks in Tornabuoni’s vast collection. Dr Flavia Frigeri, Teaching Fellow at UCL and co-curator of 'The World Goes Pop' exhibition at Tate Modern
in 2015, is the first recipient of the fellowship.
 
Taking as a starting point Vittorio De Sica’s 1963 film Il boom, Flavia Frigeri’s exhibition explores the relationship between post-war Italian art and the economic miracle in the 1960s. The show focuses on how artists reacted to the boom, through the works of Carla Accardi, Franco Angeli, Marina Apollonio, Alighiero Boetti, Alberto Burri, Mario Ceroli, Gianni Colombo, Dadamaino, Tano Festa, Lucio Fontana, Piero Gilardi, Pino Pascali, Francesco Lo Savio, Sergio Lombardo, Mimmo Rotella and Mario Schifano.

LAURA LANCASTER: SHADOWS AND MIRRORS
Apr 26 - Jun 2, 2018
Private view Wed Apr 25 6pm - 8pm
Laura Lancaster’s recent portraits of women both in silhouette and reflected in mirrors are paintings of ‘bad’ and ‘accidental’ pre-digital snapshot photographs collected by the artist. Lancaster purposefully restages these throwaway images as powerful inversions of the male gaze. In the Shadow series her loose impasto brushwork pushes the figure towards abstraction. The body and the surrounding scene begins to merge, whilst what remains of the subject stares down the viewer - the features of the face obscured by shadow. In her Mirror series Lancaster draws upon the historical theme of the Vanitas, and references the occult practice of Scrying - staring into a reflective surface in order to induce visions or revelation. In these paintings Lancaster depicts the figures as gazing into the mirror, locked in an ambiguous, unresolved moment of longing.

BYZANTIA HARLOW: FROM THE SAME SOURCE I HAVE NOT TAKEN
Apr 6 - May 27, 2018
The exhibition centres around faith, trust, coercion and the gap between real experience and artificial effect, and whether the constructed collective experience can be as meaningful as a genuine encounter. These ideas are explored through sculpture installations, a video projection and a performance enacted on the opening evening on 5th of April.
 
The video documents performances of actions that take their starting point from rituals and spiritual practices, exploring the role between the genuine encounter and the re-enactment. Along with Harlow, people with genuine interest and experience in spiritual practices and alternative groups participated in the video. Authentic spiritual healing and rituals were performed alongside staged tableaux.
The video is a collaborative work by Harlow and filmmaker Orlando Cubitt, with cinematography by Suresh Kara. The music score for the film includes a song written by Johnston Sheard for the project.

Beckman’s work consistently treats film as a performance medium, and astutely anticipates the social and cultural impact of video gaming and online networks over recent decades. Beckman’s films create narratives using the pedagogic and competitive structures of games. They playfully reveal the conditions of gender and identity formation in relation to labour, leisure, architecture and capital.

ROSE WYLIE : LOLITA’S HOUSE
Apr 20 - May 26, 2018
David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by British artist Rose Wylie spanning three floors of the gallery’s London location.
Loosely referencing a house that was constructed in the 1970s in the prevalent style of the period across the street from Wylie’s residence in Kent, and the neighbor’s teenage daughter who would often wash their car in the driveway, Lolita’s House continues the artist’s ongoing fascination with the shifting nature of memory and the wide-ranging external associations that become attached to it over time.
