Marijn van Kreij: He Who Sings Is Not Always Happy - AND/OR - London
through September 28th 2013
In the winter of 1944 Pierre Bonnard noted in his diary: ‘He who sings is not always happy.’ This summer I have produced new works taking several small details of Bonnard’s paintings as a starting point. These works might be about painting, but they are not a comment on the paintings of Bonnard.

CHRISTOPH SCHELLBERG: Yes - Linn Lühn - Cologne
through October 31st 2013
When viewing the new pictures of Christoph Schellberg for the first time, one is reminded of Kandinsky, Mondrian, Malevich, Magritte, Rothko, Newman, Polke, Richter, Kippen-berger, and perhaps others as well. One for his motifs and placement, another for his sense of humor, still another for his pictorial space and the metaphysical effects he generates by means of painting. This illustrious series of forebears forms the background (to speak in the language of painting) against which this well-schooled painting unfolds and propels its sense of play.

TOOT TOOT TOOTSIE GOODBYE - group show - V1 Gallery - Copenhagen
through October 19th 2013
Jake and Dinos Chapman, Stephen Dunne, Neal Fox, Susan Hiller, Dionisis Kavallieratos, Dennis Rudolph Curated by Francesca Gavin
In 1945, the Nazis would broadcast German propaganda speeches on loudspeakers to the Allied enemies. Then a US soldier deactivating landmines, writer, director and actor Mel Brooks would respond by setting up speakers and singing Jewish musical theatre performer Al Jolsonʼs song 'Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye' on repeat to the Germans.

through 20 OCTOBER 2013
“According to ancient doctrine, the essence of a thing is considered to be what the thing is. We ask the question concerning technology when we ask what it is. Everyone knows the two statements that answer our question. One says: Technology is a means to an end. The other says: Technology is a human activity. The two definitions of technology belong together.”
Heidegger, “The Question Concerning Technology” 1949

Clunie Reid: In Pursuit of the Liquid - MOT International - London
through October 5th 2013
MOTINTERNATIONAL London are delighted to present a solo exhibition of new work by Clunie Reid, In Pursuit of the Liquid. Reid places destructive and conceivably violent depictions of female sexuality at the forefront of her works, subverting and contaminating otherwise misogynistic representations. The artist appropriates her imagery from internet pop-up ads and chatroom avatars, bringing animated porn-stars in proximity to IBM's 'A Boy With His Atom'. For In Pursuit of the Liquid, Reid has transposed her formerly drawn and collaged works into a four screen installation, ripped and repro images becoming flashing layers of manipulated digital material. The figures that judder in and out of the work’s frames are both hyper-sexual and infantile. Computerized women thrust their bodies into ever more unlikely, baroque exaggerations; their faces register plastic astonishment at their loss of control. Pneumatic forms are frenetically intercut with girlishly winking cartoons walking pixellated poodles, and smiley-faced .gifs flash vacantly across the screen. Reid's strobing, spasming images insist with frenzied urgency on their presence before dropping out of sight. Both symptomatic and explorative of how images are consumed and then discarded, the works suggest a state of play which prioritizes immediate delivery, while rushing towards exhaustion.
