Sam Austen - Angry Film - The Sunday Painter - London
Exhibition running through 21st December
Angry Film is a delicately handcrafted work that combines the sights and sounds of the area surrounding the artist’s studio in Peckham with his ongoing fascination with the fantastical landscapes of science fiction and the early pioneers of abstract cinema such as Len Lye and Oskar Fischinger.

Jason Dodge - VeneKlasen/Werner - Berlin
October 30 to December 23. Jason Dodge’s work is born of a love for a simple economy of visual and literal language. The artist’s seemingly minimal sculptures and spatial interventions belie an intense interest in the emotional potential for objects to transmit meaning. Unexpected combinations of apparently familiar objects, presented out of place and stripped of their function or purpose, create an elusive and poetic narrative sustained by a broad network of associations. Evocative of something unseen or somewhere else, Jason Dodge’s works explore surprising histories and untold tales.

Mary Barnes - Space Gallery - London
05 NOV–18 DEC 2010
In 1965 radical psychiatrist R.D. Laing co-founded an experimental therapeutic community at Kingsley Hall in Bow, East London. Presenting herself on the brink of a serious mental breakdown, Mary Barnes (1923-2001) was Kingsley Hall’s first resident. Under the guidance of Laing and his colleague Joseph Berke, Barnes underwent a near total behavioral regression. Refusing to eat, dress or wash, she was in her own words “going down.”

Matthew Chambers - Untitled - New York
October 22 – December 12, 2010
UNTITLED is rather pleased to announce its first-ever solo exhibition, a suite of brand new paintings by Matthew Chambers. The exhibition continues the artist’s longstanding distillation and regurgitation of the act of painting as filtered through his own visual memory. Comprised of a selection of thirty-six canvases all measuring eight by four feet, hung virtually edge-to-edge, the exhibition includes representational, abstract, and ripped “strip” paintings. In addition, two handmade books of study drawings for the paintings, one abstract, the other representational, will be exhibited publicly for the first time. These two books, bound by the artist’s mother, are an idiosyncratic key to Chambers' practice, each filled with the geometry and purloined images that make up his vast visual language.

Eduardo Paolozzi - Selected Prints- Sonja Junkers - Munich
16 November 2010 - 18 December 2010
In November 2010 Galerie Sonja Junkers presents a selection of prints and collages by Scottish artist Eduardo Paolozzi.
Eduardo Paolozzi (*1924 in Edinburgh, †2005 in London) is one of the founders of British Pop Art. He enjoyed a long history with Munich, where, in 1981, he became Professor at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste and taught sculpture until his retirement in 1994. Munich also has 3 public sculptures by Eduardo Paolozzi: in 1978 he created Camera in front of the Europäisches Patentamt, in 1986 For Leonardo at the Alte Pinakothek and finally in 1989, Polygraphia Nova, a fountain in the Schwabing district. His work had been shown in the Lenbachhaus, in 1965 and 1984. In 1971 the Munich gallerist Dorothea Leonhart published the artist’s screen print series B.A.S.H. in 5 different colour schemes and in an edition of 3000.

Samuel Richardot - Balice Hertling- Paris
29.10.2010 – 11.12.2010
The exhibition consists of one large-format painting, a series of smaller paintings, and-new for the artist-a collage.
What is not at issue in these paintings is the search for a land between figuration and abstraction. Granted, the motifs in Richardot's works are derived from various common objects: scissors, clouds, and so on. Sometimes one spots tromp-l'oeiltraces, sly mocking ghosts of the object-that-was; at other times, the process of transformation tosses up new phantoms, a slideshow of flickering symbols, which, like the rabbit in the moon, or clowns in da Vinci's wall of smoke, may or may not really be there at all.

Allen Rupperberg - No Time Left To Start Again /2 - Air De Paris - Paris
29 oct. - 11 déc. 2010
Ruppersberg presents three new projects that focus upon the practice of collecting and the way in which we reconstruct and enliven narratives. In the large installation, No Time Left To Start Again/ The B and D of R ‘n’ R , the artist adorns colorfully silk-screened pegboards—some revisiting the artist’s poems about music—with laminated color copies of record labels, album covers, found photographs of teenagers in alternative fashions of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, and obituaries of rock and roll artists. Numbering over one thousand, reclaimed material that doesn’t fit onto the pegboards is stacked into boxes below, a visual reminder of the myriad of alternative narratives waiting at the periphery. The artist has also produced a compilation record of rock ‘n’ roll’s diverse musical influences and manifestations, forming an audio soundtrack to echo the visual journey taken across the pegboards.

Dirty Kunst - groupshow - Seventeen Gallery - London
Thursday 18th Nov - Thursday 23rd Dec 2010
Life is a four-letter word. So is art when pushed past polite boundaries. You don't have to be Lenny Bruce to know that the first commandment of comedy is 'leave half the audience laughing and the other half horrified.' Rude art, like rude words, straightens spines and unbuckles straitened belts. Filth frightens, provokes, angers and just plain disgusts. Sometimes it proves outright liberating. Reason and good sense often blanch when faced with graffiti on the bathroom wall.

Marcus Kleinfeld - Empire - Hannah Barry Gallery - London
last chance: through November 24th 2010
For this exhibition Marcus Kleinfeld has devised eight large-scale sculptures. The subject of these works is the artist’s view of reality, his perception of the world and how people live and behave in it. The sculptures acknowledge in formal and psychological terms some of the key characteristics of our world - power, hierarchy, wealth, greed, oppression, domination and conquest. At the same time they communicate human experience - what we desire, strive for, fear, fight against and consume - our weaknesses and our suffering.

Exhibition One - Chrystal Gallery/Gentili Apri - online/Berlin
Chrystal Gallery is teaming up with Gentili Apri to present Exhibition One. A computer rendered group show with works by Kari Altmann, Charles Broskoski, Lindsay Lawson, Billy Rennekamp, Maxwell Simmer, and Harm Van Den Dorpel - curated and rendered by Timur Si-Qin.
Extracting a parallel instance of the work as a three-dimensional representation of geometric data, Exhibition One offers an opportunity to present an alternate framework that posits the questions: Where does an artwork stop and its documentation begin? What is the function of a prospective image that is decisively not-a-model?

Lindsay Seers - It has to be this way 2 - Mead Gallery - Warwick
through Sat 11 December 2010
Lindsay Seers seeks to unravel the strange disappearance of a young woman, Christine Parkes, her stepsister. Old letters, her stepsister’s notes and a box of photographs act as her point of departure as she sets out to find the truth, a truth which leads her to tales of diamond smuggling in Western Africa.

Elmgreen & Dragset - Celebrity: The One & The Many - ZKM - Karlsruhe
November 7th, 2010 – March 27th, 2011
Consistently questioning traditional perceptional patterns in their sculptures, installations, and performances, the work of artist duo Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset (*1961/*1969) has long been considered as epitomizing the most innovative attitudes in the international contemporary art scene. At the interface of minimalist aesthetics and the analytical examination of art-immanent discourse as continue to be held on the 'White Cube', for example, on socio-political aspects, namely, on the relationship between (sub) culture and public space, and on the general definition and redefinition of socially relevant structures, Elmgreen’s & Dragset's work signifies a unique take in the topography of international art.

GUY GORMLEY - B U S H E S [ E D I T ] - Son Gallery - London
12 November – 19 December
Opening: 11 November, 6.00 – 9.00pm
We are pleased to present Guy Gormley’s first solo exhibition B u s h e s ( E D I T ). In this selection from his ongoing Bushes series Gormley singles out the great British bush. His confidence with the awkward and the mundane, lending his subjects an uncanny sense of significance, makes for a wry study of rural fringes. In the darkroom he often allows his images to take their own direction; rather than always striving for technical correctness he instead looks for a lightness of touch, which gives primacy to atmosphere and feeling.

Hito Steyerl - In Free Fall - Chisenhale Gallery - London

In Free Fall (2010), a new film co-commissioned by Chisenhale Gallery, Picture This, Bristol and Collective, Edinburgh, incorporates a series of works – After the Crash, Before the Crash and Crash – which employs the setting and characters of an aeroplane junkyard in the Californian desert to tell the story of the current economic climate.

Gerd Arntz (1900 - 1988) and Isotype - Between Bridges - London
13.10.2010 - 28.11.2010
In the light of growing inequality in western societies as well as on a global scale, Gerd Arntz's acute observations of interbellum Europe and the consequences of the societal divisions of that time, come as a timely reminder of the dangers such polarisation poses. In spite of obvious disparities of the political climate of then and now, the connection between inequality and the emergence of ideology and demagogy is nevertheless striking.

Luc Tuymans - Corporate - David Zwirner - NYC
Belgian artist Luc Tuymans is widely seen as having contributed to the revival of painting in the 1990s. His sparsely-colored, figurative works speak in a quiet, restrained, and at times unsettling voice, and are typically painted from pre- existing imagery which includes photographs and video stills. His canvases, in turn, become third-degree abstractions from reality and often appear slightly out-of-focus, as if covered by a thin veil or painted from a failing memory. There is almost always a darker undercurrent to what at first appear to be innocuous subjects: working within series, Tuymans has, in this way, explored diverse and sensitive topics including the Holocaust, the effects of images from 9/11, the ambiguous utopia of the Disney Corporation, and the colonial history of his native Belgium, among others.

Claire Fontaine - Kultur ist ein Palast der aus Hundescheiße gebaut ist - MD 72 - Berlin
October 5th – November 13th, 2010
Claire Fontaine’s exhibition at MD72 takes its title from Bertolt Brecht’s sentence, quoted by Theodor W. Adorno, but whose source remains obscure, Kultur ist ein Palast der aus Hundescheiße gebaut ist (The palace of culture is built with dog shit). The artist starts from the consideration that, as Brecht states, our culture is now clearly a precarious and despicable construction unable to resist the assaults of liberalism and to protect bodies and objects from becoming commodities.

Anette Kelm - Today - Andrew Kreps Gallery - NYC
The photographs by artist Annette Kelm (born in Stuttgart in 1975, lives and works in Berlin) appear to perpetuate traditional forms of photographic representation in an unspectacular way: i.e. they comprise still lifes, portraits, object photographs, architectural and landscape photographs in medium-sized formats, which tend to be based on conventional studio and landscape practices.

Murmur - groupshow - Waterside Projectspace - London
Exhibition curated by Eliza Tan
Anita di Bianco, Aoife Collins, Trong G. Nguyen, Kate Pickering, Erika Tan, Tintin Wulia
Performances by Lynn Lu, and Matthew MacKisack with Jeffrey Baker
A low, indistinct and continuous sound, murmuring evokes the telling of stories or rumours that conjure powerful mental pictures. Murmuring otherwise connotes an endless babble of visual and verbal information - the point where language fails and meaning collapses.
Underscoring mechanisms of verbal imagination and visual enactment, linguistic rupture and the dissolution of the image, murmur explores fiction-making as a means by which to critically reorder the data of experience, frameworks of memory and limits of perception.

Adam Pendleton - BAND - The Kitchen - NY
November 3 - December 2, 2010
The Kitchen will present the U.S. premiere of BAND, Adam Pendleton’s new three-channel video installation. Pendleton’s BAND is a form-and-content refashioning of Jean-Luc Godard’s Sympathy for the Devil, which stands in open contrast to the earlier film. BAND tracks the indie rock band Deerhoof working on and recording a new song, I Did Crimes for You over the course of a day during the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009. Using the structure and techniques of avant-garde film as a means to explore ideas about contemporary experimental practice, language and the (re)making of history, BAND acts as a meditation on the present, read backwards through the canonical traces of history. The exhibition also features new wall-based works from Pendleton’s ongoing System of Display series.

Matias Faldbakken - That Death Of Which One Does Not Die - Kunsthalle Friedericianum - Kassel
through November 14th 2010
The Norwegian artist Matias Faldbakken is internationally well known for his direct, provocative and radical attitude. In his artistic production Faldbakken engages with social conventions and meets pop culture with a counter gesture, when rejection and refusal merge with forms of chaos and vandalism. The media and products evolving from pop societies and determining social systems of order, do not only serve him as a conceptual starting point but also as artistic tools. Whereas material and objects from the everyday cultural production like newspapers, magazines, TV, video and the Internet, as well as spray paint, tape and markers belong to his working material, language plays a central role in his oeuvre. Text-based works as large wall installations, as works on canvas, drawings, prints and graffiti are drawing a continuous line through his whole artistic work and are building the tenor of an all-out attitude of denial. Against this background Faldbakken’s recent works are of an extreme and radical adoption of the nihilistic basic idea.
