At Art in the Underbelly in Norwich, United Kingdom
Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary
A Joint Show by Sammy Merry and Phil CooperUnited by an interest in collage, found images, illustration and graphic design Sammy Merry and Phil Cooper explore similar but individual themes throughout their work. Sammy+rsquo;s work wanders through a Poland that sits uneasily in front of its communist past, stops briefly in a disbanded utopian estate deep within the Krakow suburbs before leaving with the sounds of eastern European music ringing in its ears and the residue of post-communist art and architecture in its mind. Phil Cooper+rsquo;s speaks through commercial, artistic and ritualistic forms of communication but always leaves an ambiguity that leads the audience to make their own way towards a hidden centre that is shrouded in elements of astronomy and nature. For their show, Phil will create collage works directly onto the walls of the Underbelly in response to several of Sammy+rsquo;s framed digital prints, thus uniting both the finished pieces and the processes used to create them.

Her work acts as a diversion from the increasingly rapid and speculative media response to socio-political events. This re-writing relies on a qualitative research methodology and +lsquo;an interconnexion of elements, each one of which represents the whole, and cannot be distinguished or isolated from it except in abstract thought+rsquo;(1).

In a career that spans more than forty years, Rocamora has researched the properties of cardboard and its geometrical abstract possibilities.According to the art critics Wences Rambla (Universitat Jaume I) and Montserrat Prudon (Universit+eacute; Paris 8) Rocamora+rsquo;s interpretation of the artist's book, as the visible imposed over the legible, focuses on the shape. His 'cardboard sculptures' are thought to be transportable and handled objects, to be re-interpreted through the juxtaposition of layers and the permeation of shapes as a whole. 'When these books take the form of a box their seduction is still greater, a doubly symbolic object because of its matrix form and the content it holds within [+hellip;] Shape, the box, of which one would not know how to separate the symbolic value from the value of the figure, the geometric reference and the colour that gives body. Each one of the constituent elements of this object, close to the poem-object, where reading and observing converge, seems to move away in search of its complementary: half triangles that aspire to their completeness, the perfect value of the square or the rectangle.'

Victoria Rance and Clare Whistler
Lucy Bell is pleased to present Invisible a record of the collaboration between sculptor Victoria Rance and dancer/choreographer Clare Whistler. The two artists met in 1997 and have worked regularly together since then including on performances at venues such as the De la Warr Pavilion, Glyndebourne and Deptford X.Victoria Rance+rsquo;s +lsquo;Sculpture to Wear+rsquo; series create a sheltering skin, protecting or altering the sense of self. The sculptures have elements of architecture and costume, and test the effect of the tension between protective constraint and freedom of movement. Examples are Mantilla, a helmet-like mask made of brazed steel eyes, and Cloak of Invisibility, a flexible aluminium cage. Performance artist Clare Whistler lets rationality and conscious thought disappear as she responds to these containing spaces. She becomes the embodiment of the sculptures when she enters or wears them. The action of taking the photographs continues this private and personal collaboration between the two artists in the studio space. Invisible includes a new series of photographs made especially for this exhibition.Victoria Rance is based in Deptford London, and is a graduate of Newcastle Upon Tyne University and Kingston University. She shows extensively and has produced private and public sculpture commissions as well as a variety of work in the studio. She received the Mark Tanner Award for Sculpture in 2003. Clare Whistler lives in Ashburnham and creates her own performance pieces while working as a director in opera, education and community projects. Trained at Rambert Dance, she was a dancer and choreographer in North America with her company which toured internationally. She established True North and Shaping Voices creative companies.Also included are sculptures and an archive of their studio based projects.and public performances.

You stand, watching the cars go by. You're not sure where you are, maybe not even where you're going. Perhaps you are with friends, or they could be strangers. Time passes. You change the space by being there, the space changes you.Spending a long time in one location can give the place new significance, and people may often develop spontaneous games that activate the site.Inspired by the d+eacute;rives of the Lettrist and Situationist Internationals. a.a.s invite you to help them search for the city beneath the city. Using a combination of I Ching readings and the Paranoid-Critical Method, and starting from Castlefield, artists and co-participants will explore randomly selected parts of Central Manchester, to reveal hidden meanings. We intend to change perceptions of two selected sites during each outing and occupy those parts of the city for several hours.To participate, meet at Castlefield Gallery at 11am.dress for the weather and brightly for safety.For more info, contact us on: 07806 50 27 26, email: aas@aasgroup.netor visit http://aasgroup.net/current/the-nomads/

SEAN BRANAGAN / SOLO SHOW
Sean Branagan�s work has a hint of the impossible, but nearly graspable about it. He doesn�t describe the world we know - i.e. he doesn�t focus on the scaffolding, in which we communally invest, through language and social order to run our lives - an approach that delivers the comforting satisfaction of affirmation and recognition. Instead he attempts to breach �The Real� [1] � something that differentiates itself from what could be called �artificial� to be more total, but which is certainly discernible from the imaginary and fanciful. +lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;As a vehicle for �time�, �light� and �movement� (elements as valid to his practice as more conventional ones in painting like line, form and colour) the role of the projector has been variously considered in past work. For example, it was built inside the work in the LIGHT FORMS series, it was suspended closely overhead on clamps in works like 'Peep Show' and 'Where the Sun is Silent' (pieces recently seen in the group show PHYSICOLOGY at this gallery). +lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;In these pieces light was always applied to the surface (via the projector) This exhibition sees the adoption of LCD screens, allowing light and movement to emanate from within the work. However, light is also applied externally onto the work; these paintings are lit from the front, and are to be seen in the full light of the gallery space, as in any other painting show. +lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;�the ribbon�+lt;br /+gt;Branagan describes the urge in his studio to hold one end of a ribbon and throw the other end outwards, through and into the work. This feels less about creating a navigable bridge between the tangible and intangible (because this assumes a difference, or a journey, that takes you from one thing, to another, different thing - the conceptual world of the painting and his own reality) it is more about an orchestration of seeing and feeling the work homogenously, about embracing the idea that perhaps there is no difference, perhaps there is only one thing � �The Real�.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;In �Constructs in the Mind of a Sceptic�, lines of drawing are conventionally applied onto the Perspex, as a painter might apply them to his canvas, but then they are also (unconventionally) applied at the filming stage as part of the figure�s environment. As the figure moves, some of the lines are attached to her body and move to her will. We are presented with drawing that was made before filming took place; drawing made during the filming, by the figure as she moved/moves; drawing on the surface of the Perspex and finally drawing on the walls- created by the shadows that result from the surface, in places, being transparent. +lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;Caravaggio � �beyond the fingers� +lt;br /+gt;In Caravaggio�s �Supper at Emmaus� 1601, the picture plane is established by a figure on the right, whose left arm and fingers reach out towards the viewer. Those fingers may as well mark the edge of the world. They actually mark the edge of the space in the painting, but they indicate a potential to break through, pop the bubble; touch us. In �Odd things persist for inexplicable reasons� the bars around the head and face extend out towards us; actually pop the bubble. Resin on the surface of the work titled �Fleshless Lovers� magnifies the pixels in the film, drawing them out, and away from the image inside the painting.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;�It is the task of radical thought, since the world is given to us in unintelligibility, to make it more unintelligible, more enigmatic, more fabulous�; Jean Baudrillard.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;[1] Jacques Lacan believed in distinguishing between reality (the fantasy world we convince ourselves is the world around us) and the real (a materiality of existence beyond language and thus beyond expressibility). So much are we reliant on our linguistic and social version of �reality� that the eruption of pure materiality (of the real) into our lives is radically disruptive. And yet, the real is the rock against which all of our artificial linguistic and social structures necessarily fail.� See Jacques Lacan: The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psycho-Analysis. Trans. Alan Sheridan. Ed. Jacques-Alain Miller. New York: Norton, 1977. +lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;

At Kate MacGarry Gallery in London, United Kingdom
Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary
Marcus Coates is renowned for his shamanic performances, where a community or an individual is invited to ask difficult questions pertaining to their own predicament, from the deeply personal to the broadly political. Coates summons answers by communing with an animal kingdom that is part imagined, part scientifically observed. In costume and literally entranced, he relates the nature of this host of species and their attendant attributes; and from these narratives he extracts analogies, identifies thought patterns and discerns clues to a wider understanding.For his first exhibition at the gallery, Coates has absented himself from the gallery, displaying only the material peripherals of these performances. We are presented with the questions asked and answers offered, as well as the costumes and objects used to facilitate the exchange, displayed like anthropological artefacts of a strangely familiar culture. The questions and answers are translated and transcribed during each performance, the handwriting indicating a sense of urgency behind each social, political or personal problem addressed. The objects have been collected, adapted and reused over years, bridging the utilitarian and the symbolic, the everyday and the mythical. Several pairs of glasses bound together become a mask and a mode of seeing beyond the immediate; lemon juice produces a soured, contorted face, which, in some shamanic traditions, increases the chance of admittance to the grotesque realm of the spirits.Participants in these performances may or may not believe in Coates+rsquo;s abilities as a transcendental shaman +ndash; the point is not so much the validity of his claims, but the discussion they elicit. With such pressing issues as anorexia and war on participants+rsquo; agendas, it can be the na+iuml;ve outsider who asks the obvious, but useful, questions. And it is Coates+rsquo;s recourse to the world of animals that demarcates an alternative space, enabling the demystification of social relations, imaginative speculation on causes and the dramatic resolution of enduring problems.

Maria Stenfors is proud to present Yasmin M+uuml;ller+rsquo;s first solo exhibition in London - +lsquo;Denim Cardin+rsquo;. Yasmin M+uuml;ller is born 1977, lives and works in Berlin and was educated in Karlsruhe, Germany. Yasmin M+uuml;ller+rsquo;s work brings forward a gentle questioning of the chaotic mix that is cultural identity. In particular, M+uuml;ller deals with a landscape where the sub-culture becomes the culture - as well as the occasionally blurred borders of art and design +ndash; where M+uuml;ller asks if our reality is only an adaptation or interpretation of what we know from the past. Time warps in history created by the searching for the new.The title of the exhibition +lsquo;Denim Cardin+rsquo; refers to Denim as in jeans and an everyday and every person wear, and Pierre Cardin who is famed for his futuristic and geometric designs. Apart from fashion Cardin was also a sculptor and designer of lamps and furniture. His practice was often known for being unfunctional or unpractical with the visual and conceptual being superior to the functionality of the design. Geometric patterns and vivid colours are a strong part of this exhibition. +lsquo;Denim Cardin+rsquo; contains objects, paintings and collages that aim to provoke associations and memories for the viewer.One of the works in the show will be three Plexiglas cubes 40x40x40cm that on the inside will display scarves from a Turkish market in Kreutzberg (Berlin), where they are purchased mainly to cover the hair for cultural reasons. The scarves have designs where the iconic patterns of Hermes, Gucci, and Dior etc have been sampled and edited together forming a new pattern and thereby creating a new design that is still recognizable from the old. In the 3D Plexiglas cubes they are shown like they were a display in a fashion store or a piece of design furniture. For this exhibition Yasmin M+uuml;ller has also included a series of collages that are the personal narrative where a detail of a shape, colour or atmosphere has been sampled and re-modified to later create a larger work. This collection of images, framed with hand-cut passe-partouts acts as a visual archive to the exhibition. With these works the viewer himself can find the visual and memory connections between the works as well as seeing the artists path.From the 18th of September to 31st October Yasmin M+uuml;ller will also participate in the exhibition +lsquo;Der unaufhaltsame Aufstieg von Draufg+auml;ngern und Flaschen+rsquo; in St+auml;dtische Galerie in Karlsruhe, Germany.

CHARLIE SMITH london is delighted to present Alex Gene Morrison with his first London one person show since 2006. In this new collection Morrison employs a highly personalised language in order to engage with a universal cosmology. Suspended delicately between representation and abstraction, forms advance and recede to suggest an outer worldliness that is somehow beyond and even pre or post human. Morrison creates an inter-dimensional realm that is at times enticing and other times foreboding. Complimentary and subtle colour combinations might project stillness and harmony whilst abrasive, electric codes suggest the clinical, infirm or incubatory. But whilst Morrison maintains a stance of implication and illusiveness he still affirms a sapient presence by means of absence or in suggesting transitory movement. A stone slab in an empty room tells us that something was once here, most likely extinguished, and warns of an ultimate finality. Portals, gateways or corridors convey a journey, a point of crossing over from one state to another. Human or sentient beings were or are present in primitive or futuristic form. Whilst nodding towards now retro futuristic film such as Stanley Kubrick+rsquo;s +lsquo;2001: A Space Odyssey+rsquo; or Franklin J. Schaffner+rsquo;s +lsquo;Planet of the Apes+rsquo;, both of 1968, Morrison also references 20th century abstract painting. Glimpses of Kazimir Malevich, Ad Reinhardt or Peter Halley can be traced in Morrison+rsquo;s layering of form and colour. There is an acute awareness of the materiality of paint where subtle shifts in tone, texture and direction of application combine to create spatial and perspectival shifts; and underpainting and repainting bring our attention to the built surface. An inquiry into the equivocal, therefore, is underpinned by a rigorous investigation into paint itself.

+quot;From a realist position, such action, though cautious, hopeful and generally entered into, is unsuitable. An experimental action generated by a mind as empty as it was before it become one+hellip; is, on the other hand, practical. It does not move in terms of approximations and errors, as +lsquo;informed+rsquo; action by its nature must, for no mental images of what would happen were set up beforehand; it sees things directly as they are: impermanently involved in an infinite play of interpretations.+quot;Cage, John.

RED PROPELLER PRESENTS 'BEHEMOTH' NEW PAINTINGS BY GUY DENNING AT ST MARTIN IN THE FIELDS, TRAFALGAR SQUARE, LONDON
Red Propeller Gallery presents Guy Denning's upcoming show 'BEHEMOTH' at THE GALLERY IN THE CRYPT, St Martin in The Fields, Trafalgar Square, London, opening September, 3rd 2010. This landmark show, in the dramatic setting of the Gallery in the Crypt, with its atmospheric lighting and brick-vaulted ceiling, promises to be one of Guy's most powerful shows to date.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;Working initially from screen-shots from a small section of the 1928 film La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc he has made over a hundred preliminary sketches. From these he has produced fifty larger finished drawings and from these drawings he has made this series of paintings.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;'This work is about losing faith; specifically the loss of faith in the body politic to work beyond agendas of party, power, country or personal gain. Its subjects are those moments in recent history when the ordinary and the sane among us sit back and despair of the twisted, sick ends woven by 'respectable' political means. Those moments when the realists and idealists alike think 'what have we become... why are you doing this in our name?+lt;br /+gt;This loss is brought into focus by a specific political outrage or scandal and related to the personal through my inspiration derived from Dreyer's film and Renee Jeanne Falconetti's portrayal of Joan of Arc.'
