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?

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.
