  Freddie Yauner This Is A Red Flag at SOIL 23 January - 13 April 2025 Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LA Former Somerset House Studio artist Freddie Yauner has been commissioned to create a flag to coincide with SOIL, an exhibition of artworks and installations responding to the challenges of climate change, land use and waste by taking a closer look at the world beneath our feet.  This Is A Red Flag  with its cautionary SOS   will fly above Somerset House as an urgent warning to 'Save Our Soil'. Yauner's This Is A Red Flag  is inspired by William Morris who would give open air talks with a small red flag by his side. Best known for his textile patterns, the pioneering Arts and Crafts artist was also a social reformer and is considered a forerunner of the modern Green movement. Yauner's original  Red Flag  was first shown at the William Morris Gallery last year and will tour institutes and organisations, in...

Doireann Gillan The Party's Over 14 - 23 November 2024 Private View: Thursday 14 November, 6-8pm

  Doireann Gillan The Party's Over 14 - 23 November 2024 Private View: Thursday 14 November, 6-8pm The Bomb Factory, 99 Kingsway, London WC2B 6QX   RSVP Ringing in the season of cracker crowns, colourful balloons and party favours, the sculptures in Doireann Gillan's solo exhibition resemble both symbols of joy and excitement as harbingers of loneliness and nostalgia. Squeezed, stretched and bent out of shape, discarded industrial materials and soft spheres defy their prescribed functions as negative space and shadows compete with the objects they depend on. Oscillating between rage, restraint and revelry their behaviour and appearance challenge historically gendered attributes. Gillan's installations act as metaphors for the tension between a desire for happiness and the collapse of the social structures necessary to meet this - for the unachievable aspirations in an era of heightened political and economic precarity. The Party's Over  is a ...

STILLNESS IN MOVEMENT part one

Image
  I am delighted to be selected for this new exhibition and showing 'Mariner Red in part 1, 17th-21st September. I will be delighted to see you there, details below STILLNESS IN MOVEMENT ‘Not known, because not looked for But heard, half heard in the stillness Between two waves of the sea’ from Four Quartets by T S Eliot These three lines from Eliot’s epic poem were the starting point of The London Group’s latest, and perhaps most evocative exhibition, Stillness in Movement. Its themes and offshoots are explored by 74 London Group members - the stillness before dawn; chance encounters that are frozen time; the anticipation and pause before a performance; the stillness between breaths... An overriding narrative is that of nature changing and resting. In her gravure print, ‘Botanical Beach’, J. Yuen Ling Chiu depicts the stillness and movement of water: ‘Every day the water recedes... underneath granite outcroppings and along stretches of sandstone, tide pools form... every day the w...
