MIDSOMMAR

Posted on 2019-06-24

Dani and Christian are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing. From the visionary mind of Ari Aster comes a dread-soaked cinematic fairytale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight.

RYAN GANDER – I SEE YOU’RE MAKING PROGRESS

Posted on 2019-06-24

The exhibition’s title ‘I see you’re making progress’ reflects Gander’s constantly evolving practice and career trajectory, while the works also display this evolutionary process – from the confines of the artist’s mind and studio, towards the boundless possibilities to learn and develop from the outside world.
A new work from 2019, View from the studio window (8th November 2017), depicts a hazy view of the world outside his workspace as it transitions from day to night throughout a 24-hour cycle. The animated screens behind the frosted glass approximate the exact light conditions and changing weather of that time and place – not to mention the gently swaying silhouettes of trees and the shadow of a chain link fence – all now transposed, seemingly impossibly, to an interior-facing gallery wall in Shanghai. Another windowpane appears in this show, this time one that has been white-washed and smashed, obscuring a hidden artwork never to be revealed, while also creating a new visceral abstract composition through the use of haphazard duct-taping.

MEL ZIEGLER – ACTIVATED ARTIFACTS

Posted on 2019-06-24

For this exhibition, Ziegler presents a new work entitled Hooks, taken from a larger series called 10×10’s. Consisting of a geometric grid of vintage and antique hat hooks, viewers are encouraged to leave their own hats thus transforming the work from its original form. The piece bears many hallmarks of Ziegler’s practice such as an encyclopedic approach to collecting, participatory elements, and a deep reverence for socially imprinted antique artifacts. Additionally, it references Ziegler’s pervading interest in seriality, a quality often attributed to minimal art of the 20th Century, and a distinct influence during the genesis of both his and Ericson’s work.
