ROGER ENO & BRIAN ENO – MIXING COLOURS EXPANDED

Posted on 2020-11-02

Finally making music together for the first time since 1983’s Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks and More Music for Films, world-renowned pioneer of ambient music Brian Eno and his criminally lesser-known brother Roger expand their Mixing Colours LP with yet more excursions in mood, tone, colour and texture. Intricately-laden and mindfully-conceived for only the deepest of listens, Mixing Colours Expanded features the original album in full, lavished with slow, searching compositions for piano and sound design, accompanied by bonus tracks such as the burnt waltzes of ‘Moss’ and ‘Violet’, originally featured on the Luminous EP.

BILLIE ZANGEWA – WINGS OF CHANGE

Posted on 2020-11-02

Wings of Change, is an exhibition featuring seven new silk works by Johannesburg-based artist Billie Zangewa. For her first exhibition with Lehmann Maupin and first in New York, Zangewa has created a body of work that explores the new reality of living and working in isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Best known for her intricate collages composed of hand-stitched fragments of raw silk, Zangewa creates figurative compositions that explore contemporary intersectional identity in an attempt to challenge the historical stereotype, objectification, and exploitation of the black female form. Wings of Change will feature new work that examines Zangewa’s personal experiences during the recent months of global lockdown, especially those of love, loss, and emotional transformation.

Opposite – Heart of the Home, 2020

Exhibition runs through to November 7th, 2020

TARRAH KRAJNAK

Posted on 2020-11-02

Filter Photo is pleased to present El Jardín de Senderos Que Se Bifurcan, an exhibition by Tarrah Krajnak. Named after a Jorge Luis Borges story by the same title, the exhibition El Jardín de Senderos Que Se Bifurcan explores the process of tracing my origins amidst contradictory familial narratives. Indigenous to Peru and orphaned as an infant I was adopted into a working-class transracial family from the American coal country and raised as a twin to my African American brother. This early experience of racial difference established my ongoing preoccupation with orphanhood, ancestral exile, origins, and the way these constructs are written on the body and in the archive. In this series, I set out not to recover some stable authentic identity hidden by the circumstances of my birth and adoption, but rather to build a psychic history, to imagine lineages, to invent mothers, and to resurrect ancestors in an effort to understand my place within the larger political, social, and historical narratives of my birthplace, Lima, Peru circa 1979.

Exhibition runs through to November 21st, 2020

JANE HAMBLETON – ONE DAY

Posted on 2020-11-02

Jane Hambleton is a Berkeley-based artist working in multiple mediums with an emphasis on graphite drawing. Her work spans the world of painting, drawing and collage with equal agility. Whether focused on the figure or the natural world around us, her highly detailed and layered pieces explore the ephemerality of life asking us to pause, be present and look more deeply.
Each of the drawings in the exhibition are large-scale and are mostly taken from walks around the artist’s neighborhood. The title of the exhibition, One Day refers to “now”, a particular point in time. “It is all part of my practice of trying to be present in my life,” said the artist. “It happens to me most successfully when I am on my walks. I am trying to really look, to really see and to let that be all that I am doing, to observe in stillness.”

Hambleton works on Stonehenge paper with a full range of the B (softer) graphite pencils. Layering the drawing to get the exact tonal elements, she often draws each leaf and detail of the drawing seven or more times to refine the image, working carefully so as not to damage the tooth of the paper. It is a patient and reverential process.

Exhibition runs through to December 6th, 2020

EXAMINING THE AMERICAN DREAM

Posted on 2020-11-02

The American Dream, the national ethos of the United States, was born from the Declaration of Independence’s ideal that “all men are created equal”. Not women, not black, brown, or indigenous people, just white men. The ethos embodies the set of ideals determined to be fundamental to humanity—democracy, rights, liberty, opportunity, and equality. It is also the idea that the pursuit of “life, liberty, and happiness” will be rewarded to those willing to work hard. With every president and change in government comes new definitions of what that means. This exhibition is a look at how the American Dream evolves under the influence of technology, war, religion, racism, discrimination, economic disparity, and eternal hope. Out of this, we aim to foster dialogue, question assumptions, illuminate prejudice, and make space for community connection within and beyond American borders.

Exhibiting artists: Intisar Abioto, Holly Andres, Julie Blackmon, Kris Graves, Jamil Hellu, Jon Henry, Thomas Kiefer, Mia K. McNeal, Carlos Javier Ortiz, Cinthya Santos-Briones, Hank Willis Thomas, Rodrigo Valenzuela, and Matika Wilbur
