Galerie Peter Kilchmann is pleased to present the second solo exhibition by Marc-Antoine Fehr. On view are new large- to small-format oil paintings as well as gouache works on paper.
The main emphasis, in contrast to the previous gallery exhibition in 2014, is on the human figure. Only in one of the four main works – the one with masks lying on an ice field – Fehr chose to use a substitute for human heads. Otherwise it would have came across too dramatic and pathetic. In spite of the gloomy and apocalyptic mood evoked by the theme,the work resonates a certain playfulness,even if grotesque and puppet play-like. Although it is very bright and almost colourless, the title of the exhibition ,“Nocturne”, also applies as the title of this work.

Turps Gallery presents ‘In Conversation’, an exhibition showing the work of two painters, Róísín Fogarty and Suzy Willey. Recently they have had the opportunity to come together through the expanded network of Turps to establish a dialogue about their respective painting practices. Both painters rely on modules or units of vivid colour to form patterns which serve to push recognisable imagery in and out of the paintings at different times in the making of the work.

For his first solo exhibition in Chicago, Brendan Fernandes will continue his ongoing exploration into the physical act of falling through new works in glass sculpture, installation, photography and performance, offering an extended metaphor for contemporary queer politics. Beginning with an opening night performance, Fernandes will take over the entire gallery, including a timely new installation piece as part of the gallery’s on the wall exhibition space: forty-nine handmade crystal coat hangers, symbolizing the forty-nine victims of the Orlando massacre. This project will continue inside the gallery, along with new blown glass sculptures evoking ghostly bodies, created during his recent residency at the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA. Unique photographic compositions comprising dancers’ limbs and African artifacts printed using the chine-collé method will accompany the sculptures. Presented together, these bodies of work will illuminate Fernandes’ ongoing occupation with the falling form, suggesting contemporary notions of desire and loss through bodily movement.
