Matthew Bourne returns to Leeds based label Leaf with a new album. Pioneers of 90s ambient/downtempo experiments, Leaf have always avoided any possible pigeonholing by consistently switching up their perceived agenda. For Isotach, Bourne prepares ten beautiful piano compositions, with his last works being synth-laden epics (including a Kraftwerk-commemorative A/V piece), Isotach strips his sound right back to basics.
TweetThis new body of work builds upon his sculpture-based practice of inquiring into the formation of individual and collective identities as physical, psychological, and social beings. Through wall works and architectural sculpture, this new work references the physical structures of the human body while reflecting on the ways in which bodies read and record the information around them. The poured, swaddled, filled, and layered artworks convey distinct relationships between formation, time, and their material composition.

This exhibition will highlight the playful and candid portraits of Frida taken by artist and close companion, Lucienne Bloch (1909-1999). By an encounter with the great Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera, Bloch was subsequently introduced to Frida, and the two developed a deep friendship. During Diego’s turbulent stay in the United States, Bloch became an important figure in Frida’s life, helping her overcome a number of obstacles that would later reflect in the artist’s most important paintings. Bloch would also document many of Diego’s prominent mural works including “Unity Panel” at the New Workers School in New York, 1933, (included in the exhibition) and the only surviving photographs of the controversial Rockefeller Center mural, which was destroyed in 1934.
Also featured in this exhibition are the vibrant color and black & white photographs of Frida Kahlo by the master photographer and Frida’s long time lover, Nickolas Muray (1892-1965). Throughout their ten years on and off affair, Muray would photograph Frida during his visits to Mexico and while she was in New York for her solo exhibition at the Julian Levy Gallery. The images included by Muray reveal the eccentric, colorful and forceful figure that was Frida through both candid moments and studio settings.
