YUKO MOHRI – FALLING WATER GIVEN

Posted on 2026-02-23

Known for transforming everyday materials and environments into self-contained ecosystems, Yuko Mohri’s practice explores the invisible forces that shape our world — from gravity, magnetism, and humidity to social and emotional currents that flow between people and spaces.

In the downstairs gallery, a group of new works from the artist’s Moré Moré (Leaky) series appear within hanging frameworks inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s ready-mades and The Large Glass. In these kinetic, site-responsive installations, Mohri orchestrates an intentional water leak, turning its flow and rhythm into a driving force that animates improvised infrastructures composed of found objects and instruments she discovered in New York.

LEIKO IKEMURA – EL JARDÍN NOCTURNO

Posted on 2026-02-23

The viewer enters the garden on the ground floor, where three sculptures are nestled in an undulating field of green stone. Ikemura’s central and imposing Rocket Girl (2024) squats menacingly, being at once a symbol of chaotic, destructive forces, but also a figure for protective good, here guarding the two cat-like statues of Miko and Mikolina in the corner. Existing between genders and species, these three bronzes are also seemingly emerging from their terrain, sculpted through the primordial energy of the earth.

A sense of prehistoric time also bubbles up from the inky depths of a lake in the nearby painted Nightscape (2024), while upstairs the twilit garden flowers into daytime with pink blooms in a suite of rose-tinted canvases and gesture-filled fields of marks that coalesce into magical, light-filled landscapes, punctuated by Ikemura’s cascading haikus in Japanese script. These poems have been translated into English below, running right to left from the doorway.

KLÁRA HOSNEDLOVÁ – ECHO

Posted on 2026-02-16

Involving all-encompassing scenographies that take on the gravity and presence of alternative worlds, Klára Hosnedlová’s new exhibition ‘Echo’ is, first and foremost, an extensive meditation on time. Within the capacious, post-industrial chambers of White Cube’s Bermondsey site, sprawling manmade structures appear abandoned to, or overtaken by, massive growths that are organic in kind. Regarding time as iteration and reverberation, Hosnedlová’s constructed environments evoke an archaeological excavation of a future – ‘experimental places’ where time-based processes take root and play out.

JOHN AKOMFRAH – LISTENING ALL NIGHT TO THE RAIN

Posted on 2026-02-16

Originally conceived for the British Pavilion, the exhibition transformed the space into a vessel for a series of sculptural film installations titled ‘cantos’ or ‘movements’, each addressing different aspects of twentieth- and twenty-first-century global histories. At Lisson Gallery New York, Akomfrah presents Canto VI, the central multi-channel film of Listening All Night to the Rain which specifically examines pivotal moments in the histories of colonized nations, focusing on the independence movements that swept Africa and Asia from the 1940s to the 1970s.

Drawing on archival footage, the work reflects on the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya, the Congo’s struggle for independence from Belgian rule, Nigeria’s path to nationhood and the catastrophic aftermath of colonial amalgamation, and the 1947 Partition of India, seen through figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru. These narratives are framed through the diasporic experience in Britain, where personal memory is entwined with the enduring legacies of empire.

MATT CONNORS – COOPERATIVE VILLAGE

Posted on 2026-02-16

To what extent does an abstract image have allegiance to its origin? In the case of Matt Connors, his paintings draw on many sources, which, for him, can ultimately vanish in the wing mirror as he careers away from them. It is not necessary to know what came before an image to appreciate it. But, if you are curious, it might be a detail captured on his phone, something he has seen on the street, a fragment from design history or from an unrelated book. Connors’s approach isn’t about clarifying – or even paying homage to – these things, but rather complicating them and rendering them beyond the direct purview of language, doing the opposite of wrapping them up neatly into a parcel.
