This fifth and final series of 18@108 for 2010 at The Royal British Society of Sculptors brings together an exciting collective of eighteen sculptors working in one of the three featured concepts for this year of Found, Engineered and Naked which will take the form of three contemporary group exhibitions and six informal illustrated talks. Found features six sculptors who explore ideas that trigger memories, present the fragility of the environment and the changing culture of modern society and the impact of human intervention on the environment. Wayne Chisnall+rsquo;s sculptures have a recurring theme of a wheeled box addressing ideas of containment. Susan Forsyth is fascinated by foundry processes and the cast object. Linda Johns draws inspiration from human interaction with science and nature. Jolanta Jagiello is drawn to the history of the object. Ian Penna+rsquo;s sculptures comment upon the materialistic world and popular culture. Jac Scott is influenced by an environment conscience informed by the way we live today.Talks: 24 March +amp; 14 April 2010 a�� 6.30 -8.30 pm a�� FREE

At Kate MacGarry Gallery in London, United Kingdom
Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary
For his first exhibition at the gallery Ben Rivers has assembled a dwelling from discarded and reclaimed building materials. Inside, his film Origin of the Species (2008) offers a clandestine portrait of an elderly man living in a ramshackle cottage in the wilderness of the Scottish highlands. The man devises his own technologies for day-to-day subsistence while pondering the workings of the universe and the scope of human knowledge. Although there seems a vast discrepancy between Big Bang theory and animal trapping, the voiceover forays into such grand universals as evolution and epistemology, bridging this gap through ruminations on the experience of nature.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;Rivers' film is made using an old Bolex camera, which imparts a quality that cannot be digitally constructed. At times the blissed-out end of a reel is left apparent as errant bursts of yellow and orange light obliterate the image. Scratches similarly draw us back to the film's surface and emphasise the mechanical nature of its coming into being. Just as the man wonders at the destructive results of the too-quick evolution of the human brain, the near-obsolescence of film confirms this pace of change; and as his retreat from civilisation takes on the characteristics of an idyll, Rivers' own shack reminds us of the awkward reality of this.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;Origin of the Species is unflinchingly beautiful, without irony or sentimentality. As an artist working with film, though, Rivers is careful to put its nostalgic qualities to more testing use. His studies of the contingent lives of others are as much to do with investigative anthropology as they are utopian escapism.

Already acknowledged for her contribution to contemporary drawing practice, with work selected in 2009 for the Jerwood Drawing Prize, Sally Taylor+rsquo;s exhibition, +lsquo;Mouths and Triangles,+rsquo; opens an exciting programme of solo shows at Duckett and Jeffreys Gallery.A considered and yet intuitive approach to mark making results in a highly personal visual language which communicates directly with the viewer. Taylor+rsquo;s use of her body within these drawings is also apparent, bridging the imagination and resultant image, with gestural mark making acting as a reminder of the importance of physicality in the daily act of communication.

Exhibition | Painting
Stephen Friedman Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by American painter Wayne Gonzales. Returning to the gallery for his second solo exhibition, Gonzales presents an innovative group of new paintings composed of both abstract and figurative work. Contemplative, evocative and mysterious, the work uses a rigorous formal structure to mine the processes of painting and perception. With this new body of work the artist draws parallels between the figurative and the abstract and suggests that the distinction may not be so fixed and rigid. Rather, the artist proposes two manifestations of the same reality, two parts of the same, larger whole.Like Gonzales+rsquo;s earlier crowd scenes, the figurative paintings are based on anonymous source photographs. However, the mood has now shifted; here, the crowds are thinner and the brushstrokes are looser and more urgent. The palette of earthy browns and the soft focus give the sense of peering through a cloud of dust or smoke. The works play with scale to great effect; from afar, an image crystallises and can be viewed as a whole. However, up close, the figures break down into painterly brushstrokes and small gestures. The abstract works also engage with the idea of scale, albeit to different effect. Following a consistent and repeated structure, each painting is determined by a grid of white orbs surrounded by concentric bands that become darker in graduating tones of grey through to black. Appearing to hover inside the canvas, the bright white orbs float on the ground, almost glowing, or become more pronounced, the distinct rings crisp and clear, depending on viewing distance. The technique is mechanised and devoid of gesture. We are left with light and its absence.Gonzales+rsquo;s grid compositions are tightly structured, but the effect on the viewer+rsquo;s eye is a highly fluid and evocative visual experience that differs from viewer to viewer. This effect calls to mind the blinding spotlights on a film set, threatening searchlights roaming the streets, or the sun+rsquo;s after-image on the back of your eyelids. From up close the concentric striations may recall images of sound waves or topographical maps. A stark white glow can evoke the sense of a godly presence, or the moment before passing into the afterlife. The work in the exhibition moves between two states, shifting from solid material being into a ghostly intangibility, and back again. In fact, it relies on the viewer to initiate this movement and to imbue it with meaning. Refuting any tangible reading, the artist asks us to interpret our own response to these mute but highly charged images.

Exhibition | Photography
Diemar/Noble Photography is proud to present Marcus Doyle: The House Martin and the Cinema - a 10 Year Retrospective.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;Working solely with a Large Format View Camera over the last 10 years, Doyle's work is visually breathtaking and incredibly detailed. Doyle has exhibited in London, Paris, Belgium, Germany, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Switzerland. Many of the photographs selected for this exhibition have never been displayed in the UK before.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;The exhibition displays the breadth and versatility of Doyle�s oeuvre, from intimate interiors to epic landscapes. Doyle�s photographs evoke a deep connection with his surroundings and concern with the effect man has upon the environment. His commitment to the image is well known, as Doyle often waits hours or even days to capture a scene preferring only to using available light, often through long exposures. His style is self-assured with bold compositional choices and has an ambient quality rendering images that almost �breathe�. Doyle�s palette is a vibrant one. Just as a painter uses their brush to encapsulate a scene, Doyle draws out the colour in the places he chooses to photograph instilling it with atmospheric verve. This has earned him a worldwide reputation for exquisite prints.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;Doyle was the first photographer to � in a concentrated way � undertake long exposures of three hours or more at night. As a result of these long exposures, often people have passed through a scene whilst the aperture is open. Whilst are not captured in the image, their presence may still be felt within the photograph.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;Doyle�s largest series to date is titled �Urban Sprawl�. It began in his hometown of Carlisle in Cumbria. The work explores the interaction we have upon the landscape as cities encroach further into the countryside, effecting the environment for better and for worse. So far �Urban Sprawl� has taken Doyle across Europe and America, back to the UK and around its very edges, along the coastline.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;At the onset, he started out in black and white. His conversion to colour came about as a result from a trip to Iceland. He felt that he could only do justice to the Icelandic landscape through colour photography. This began his long-standing practice of primarily using colour. Intimate domestic settings are sharply observed, turning the everyday into something extraordinary. A passion for beautiful things is recorded through Doyle�s lens and finds it in the most unexpected places; a dead bird on a windowsill, the frost on a wheelbarrow or a diner at dusk all become magically transformed into delicate, idyllic scenes.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;Doyle does not research or scout his locations. He travels blind and when he comes across a place of interest, going by his instincts to set about photographing it. Interestingly, once he has taken the photograph, Doyle never returns to that location. After extensive travelling, his return to the UK cemented his belief that: �everything I need is right upon my doorstep.�+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;His book �Marcus Doyle: Night Vision � Intimacies of an Unblinking Eye� - with an essay by Matt Damsker - will also be available.+lt;br /+gt;+lt;br /+gt;For further information, images and interviews, please contact: laura@diemarnoble.com

Exhibition | Installation
Tether are pleased to present Trans Chaosmos Facility by Paul Eachus, including specially commissioned videos by Nooshin Farhid.Eachus has produced an architectural structure that has transformed The Wasp Room, operating as an antagonism to the permanency of the designated space. It is, as the word +lsquo;trans+rsquo; in the title suggests, a transient, nomadic and flexible structure, impermanent and disruptive.There are acknowledged references to the +lsquo;Merzspace+rsquo; of Kurt Schwitters, described by Peter Lewis in his catalogue essay for +lsquo;MERZ=+rsquo; at Kunstverein Bregenz 2006 as +ldquo;an object without boundaries, aleatory, accidental and sprawling+hellip; a new concept of political space or +lsquo;platform+rsquo;+rdquo;.Though this structure has an architectural appearance -it occupies space, has a floor, walls and a roof- it is constructed without any architectural +lsquo;principles+rsquo; and is, in a sense, a kind of anti-architecture; an art object built as a performative event rather than to a set of plans. The incomplete is manifested in the work as a space in the process of collapsing, between stability and solidity, between instability and total collapse. This +lsquo;space between+rsquo; becomes one of tension and potential, of immanence and new possibilities: the word +lsquo;facility+rsquo; itself suggesting a temporary place or situation that can be used for a specific purpose for a short period of time.The term +lsquo;chaosmos+rsquo; was first coined by James Joyce who used it to describe a space between the ancient (as in history) and the radical (the present) suggesting a colliding space of new possibilities. Whilst in his book of notes and interviews Chaosophy (1995), Felix Guattari explores the relationship between schizophrenia and capitalism, where he observes that the power of the latter is in its ability to make rational that which is irrational.Trans Chaosmos Facility is then an antagonistic intervention into the familiarity of the gallery space and in keeping with this concept, Eachus has invited the artist Nooshin Farhid to make a group of videos that in turn +lsquo;intervene+rsquo; into the new space.To accompany the exhibition, Paul Eachus has produced a publication published by Article Press which will be available to purchase from the gallery.The Wasp Room is supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. This project is supported by The Henry Moore Foundation.

A highly idiosyncratic style marks Burdis+rsquo; recent art practice where he materializes related iconographies in drawings and collages. With an inventive physical comedy and an ill-potent language, the work opens up an intrigue into the self through a peculiar psycho-sexual drive. a�¨a�¨For the opening evening, the artist will perform The Flexi-man can, alongside Kieron Livingstone, Jan DeWet Von Holland Green and Tommy Burton. This performance focuses on specific cultural narratives combining elements such as recited text, experimental sound editing, live percussion and staged drawing acts. a�¨a�¨Since early 2000, Edwin Burdis has contributed to the London scene in particular and to the international music and art world. As composer and music stage performer he collaborated in groundbreaking art and experimental pop music bands (DonAteller, Ed Laliq, Jack too Jack, Man Like Me, Longmeg) exploring a unique and extravagant fusion between art, music and sub-cultural indexes.a�¨a�¨Recent performances and exhibitions include: NOVEL Publication launch, Limoncello, London 2010.

THE NOUGHTIES- new paintings by FREDERICK ROSSAKOVSKY-LLOYD
THE HEPSIBAH GALLERY is delighted to welcome the very talented painter FREDERICK ROSSAKOVSKY-LLOYD for his first show at the gallery.+quot;At the outset, fascinated by Impressionism, he observed the world around him, immortalising the beauty of nature on canvas. However, he quickly noted that there was little to distinguish his work from the entire painting canon. It was then that he came to the conclusion that the only way to truly define yourself is to find an individual way of expressing your own emotions and perceptions. He discovered his unique style by chance. During his travels to India, he saw a woman with her face completely concealed. She was hanging out washing. Thank to her anonymity, she seemed, to Frederick, to represent every woman who, regardless of origin or colour, performs similar activities. That living picture changed his perception of the world forever. Frederick began to paint faceless figures in various situations. Some of them happy, others steeped in sorrow. They all, however, have one thing in common - each and every one is a mirror within which one may find one's own reflection. +quot;Everyone is capable of being happy, of experiencing the things they dream of, growing, and progressing+quot;, he says. +quot;Looking at the happy figures in my paintings, the viewer has no cause for jealousy. The figures have no face, they express our own, personal nature. They show us that we can attain everything that they are experiencing. It is enough just to change places with them - and that is not difficult.+quot;The cycle of figures that have emerged from Frederick's brush over the course of the last few years has been dubbed The Noughties. It is a name that teases in its perversity, since the figures in his paintings are often perceived as 'naughty' +ndash; incorrigible, coquettish and wholly flirtatious. Despite both their facelessness and the fact that they are frequently caught in the throes of ordinary, everyday, human activities, they always give the viewer 'a wink'.Taken from Frederick Rossakovsky-Lloyd by www.redtreelondon.com His work is innovative and charming and invites you into a rather surreal world of happy figures and experiences...it's all rather lovely to be invited into this World. I don't think I ever want to come out. So Goodbye ,Hammersmith. See you all at the show, I won't be lonely because I know there will be many of you who will join me in the enjoyment of Frederick Rossakovsky-Lloyd's escapist paintings.JH

We are very pleased to announce our third Artist in Residence at studio1.1. Damian Griffiths will be presenting a series of 5 weekend shows throughout the year under the title +lsquo;THE HUMILIATIONS OF MAN+rsquo; Having shown Damian in 2008 in a solo show +lsquo;In the Way of Things+rsquo; we have asked him back to further analyse the photographic image. While the means of presentation will differ greatly, the subject will be constant - man and his undoing. And the agent of this +lsquo;humiliation+rsquo; is the photograph and its insistent and problematic relationship to power and production; it+rsquo;s existence as image, object and concept.Show 1. Le Salon des Refus+eacute;s (the fall)March 2010Outline +ndash; 'It feels important that if I am to start a project entitled the Humiliations of Man that I should include my self in these humiliations from the very beginning. I am part of the problem. In the front room of the gallery will be a selection of works that document my aborted attempts to re-make Marcel Duchamp+rsquo;s The bride stripped bare by her bachelors, even (the large glass). This work showed painting in the full glare of Duchamp+rsquo;s thought, the canvas is not a window onto the world; it is transparent, the duty of art is not mimesis, we are not fooling anyone. This is how I feel about some aspects of photography, though I have yet to create this idea through photography. In the back room will be a collection of naked self-portraits and other erotic works.'

Showing in the New Cut: Night Time Room by Ronnie Close11 +ndash; 13 MarchOpen 12-5.30Night Time Room is composed of transcripts of interviews with 1981 Irish Republican ex-Hunger Strikers from Northern Ireland. The character in the film is shaped by his political past operating at odds with the complexity of contemporary life. The film transforms the domesticity of his every day personal space to reveal more estranged meanings. These elements are interwoven to offer a personal insight and portrait of a political figure confined by his own past.The film will be contextualized with footage of the original interviews and photography.Night Time Room was produced by Picture This as a joint Scripted Notion commission with South West Screen, funded by UK Film Council's New Cinema Fund and the Esm+eacute;e Fairbairn Foundation.The New Cut is a programme of brief exhibitions at Picture This contextualising our programme through a wider overview of artists' film and video practice.
