Diann Bauer turns the rhetorical excess of extreme-cum-mainstream contemporary political discourse back on itself. Using wall painting and a series of near illegible political signs and posters, Bauer ramps up the apocalyptic hysteria of right-wing libertarian movements whilst simultaneously laying-bare their proximity to left-wing traditions of protest.
The works accelerate the logic of spectacle driven politics to their maxed-out conclusion. Layering slogans from both the left and the right, Sarah Palin to The Red Army Faction, US Republican Congressmen to The Unabomber to The Invisible Committee; interlacing text and image, one sees the very principles of Western society being torn apart and mashed up, used and abused, regardless of their political thrust.

This exhibition, titled Somewhere to Go, presents three different series of work based on his interest in aesthetic trends in photography and their relation- ship to modernism/minimalism in painting and sculpture.
With one set of images, which Falls refers to as “construction paper fades,” the artist experiments with analog photo- graphic processes that abandon traditional materials and methods. He uses colored construction paper, which he masks out certain areas of, then exposes it to direct sunlight. The portions of paper that have been covered (with abstract or geometric shapes) retain the original, saturated color of the paper, while the negative areas become faded – gradated, as the sun’s intensity changes from traveling east to west.
Moving away from paper entirely, Falls then turned to fabric. With this work, the artist hand-dyed large pieces of material, with grommets placed in the corners, which he then staked in a canyon outside of Los Angeles with two-by-four foot lengths of wood laid down the center. By leaving the fabric outside for a period of time, exposing them to the elements of wind, sun, sleet, and rain, the material (outside of where the wood covered it) tells a story of a specific place and time through its faded color and frayed edges.

Famed for his critically acclaimed Cloud Gate in Chicago and Sky Mirror in New York, Kapoor is the fourth artist to be invited by the Grand Palais to create the annual Monumenta exhibition in its vast, glass-roofed central nave.
Inside Leviathan, the viewer is invited to take part in a physical and mental experience, a sensory immersion in a translucent membrane designed to interact with the architecture of the building in which it is housed.
The red glow is created by daylight flooding from the nave’s glass roof and through the sculpture’s tent-like walls, and its intensity, as well as the temperature in the cavity, vary as clouds pass over the sun.
From the outside, however, Leviathan offers a completely different experience, a feeling of awe at the overwhelming scale of the bulbous, rubber-like sculpture, which stands 35 meters (yards) high and fills the entire 35,000 sq meters (376,700 sq ft) of the nave.
Exhibition runs through to June 23rd, 2011

This exhibition features 58 photographs of children playing on the streets of 1970s Liverpool.
In 1975 Paul Trevor came to Liverpool to document inner city deprivation for the ‘Survival Programmes’ project. His remarkable photographs tell a different story however. Their backdrop may be the dereliction of post-war Liverpool. But these images go beyond this bleak cityscape and get close to his real subject: families and children.
Paul’s direct and honest street photography shows life as it was lived in a community defiant in the face of poverty, unemployment and the state of their surroundings. He depicts a place where the streets and wastelands became playgrounds, the family was a constant, and where children seem fun-loving and free.
