London’s Cubitt is hosting the first solo UK exhibition from Berlin-based artist Jean-Michel Wicker, titled e industrial and running at their Docklands art space from August 28 to September 28.
As the founder and former editor of multiple publishing houses – including Nice’s Le Edizioni della Luna, Berlin’s Le Edizioni della China, and the current Ballabella Papers – Wicker’s obsession with literature and the written word consistently bleeds into his visual and performance work.
For his first solo UK exhibition, Wicker explores the joys and the agonies of love through a meditation on “human-machine reconfigurations, inflation and desire” that extends itself over an installation, a new publication, as well as theatrical clouds of smoke, extending a nod to the grandiosity of Italian Situationalist Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio in the process.
