Pia Fries’ works unfold in the tension between abstraction and concrete- ness. They are created through layers, transparencies, and branchings— also in relation to the combination of different techniques. In the screen printing process, the artist has placed images of logs, blocks of wood, or timbers at various points on the canvas. They differ in their shape and structure, yet in each painting, Pia Fries focuses on similar depictions: from driftwood or wood blocks with exposed, fibrous, split longitudinal sides to soft woods with coarse cross-sections (so-called tracheids) to timbers that are leaning against each other or stacked crosswise.
The underlying trunks or branches were treated differently, such as with sandblasting, sawing, or chopping. They were then photographed, exposed onto screen printing plates, and manually printed in different colors on the completely or partially white-primed canvas.

Wilding’s work is often discussed in terms of materials and shadow, concealment and revelation; the artist refers to her work as ‘mostly abstract sculptures’. Outside of abstraction, her practice is very much related to human desires and bodily encounters. As Wilding says, ‘sculpture can be sexy’. Wilding often pushes together and juxtaposes unlikely relationships between materials, including bronze, alabaster, wood, rubber, paper, copper, string and sand, illustrating a focus and continued exploration of balance, weight and line. This exhibition also gives us an insight into the scale at which Wilding works. Small arrangements of sculptures are presented on worktables from the artist’s East London studio. Works of an intimate scale, including a tiny desiccated frog found in the basement of the artist’s home, are shown in conversation with large free-standing and floor-based sculptures.

Ilori teams up with TNF to rework a handful of all-weather silhouettes, offering up a range of outerwear that encourages consumers to “celebrate the rain, welcome the wind, and believe that things are brighter than they seem.”
The capsule consists of a 2L Rainsheet Jacket and Down Puffer Jacket, as well as an array of fleece tops, fleece pants, as well as the Reversible Fleece Jacket. Each piece comes fully engulfed in Ilori’s bold prints, abstract patterns and bright color schemes, finished off with signature hits of TNF branding.

“[…] we must first blow, in fancy, a soap bubble around each creature to represent its own world, filled with the percepions, which it alone knows. When we ourselves then step into one of these bubbles, the familiar meadow is transformed. Many of its colorful features disappear, others no longer belong together but appear in new relaionships. A new world comes into being.”

When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare.
Written for the screen and directed by James Watkins, the writer-director of Eden Lake and the award-winning gothic ghost story The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil is based on the screenplay of the 2022 Danish horror sensation Gæsterne, written by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup. That film earned 11 Danish Film Awards nominations, the Danish equivalent of the Oscars.
