GEORGE CONDO – MENTAL STATES

Posted on 2011-10-17

This is the first major retrospective of the American artist George Condo. Since his emergence in New York’s East Village in the early 1980s, George Condo has developed a provocative body of work that, for all its outlandish humour and outrageousness, is deeply engaged with the memory of European and American traditions of painting. Focusing on his ‘imaginary portraits’, which conjure varied mental states with a mixture of comic absurdity and the heart-rending pathos, and incorporating sculpture as well painting, the exhibition offers a comprehensive survey of
three decades of his art.

Exhibition runs through to January 8th, 2012

PAUL GRAHAM – FILMS

Posted on 2011-10-17

Films gather 15 pieces that are a tribute to the physical material of photography: film.
Images show what first appears to be abstract dots, blobs or colour forms, but that are in fact just greatly magnified images of the raw film emulsion. These images are not abstract at all, but extreme close-ups of the film’s structure.
Films series is a result of Paul Graham past 30 years of work and reflects a central theme for him during this time: his attention on the photographic nature itself.
Graham is known as one of the first documentary photographers that have better used color in photography. He has been an expert in C-type films. Graham has always printed his own images and at the beginning of his career, printing other’s photographes was his first source of income.

Exhibition runs through to November 26th, 2011
