19 July 2017

news

The Wild Flowers (wildness is contextual!) group exhibition is on at London’s Narrative Projects, opening July 20 and running to September 16.

Curated by Carlos Noronha Feio, the show “examines the motif of the flower” and includes work by 18 international artists across media and generations, including Mahmoud Bakhshi, Juliette Blightman, Harm van den Dorpel, Xiao-yang Li, Gabriela Machado, Lulou Margarine, and Daniel van Straalen, Sigrid Viir, among others.

Noronha Feio is a London-based artist whose practice is focused on, “transcending the limitations of any single culture through the introduction and inclusion of multiple cross-cultural visual vocabularies.” He often works with performance, video, drawing, painting, photography, rug works and multimedia installation.

The intersection of archeology + politics in Michal Baror + Patrick Hough’sThe Bureau of Authentication in London, Apr 4 – May 20

3 April 2017

news

Michal Baror + Patrick Hough‘s The Bureau of Authentication joint exhibition is on at London’s Narrative Projects, opening April 4 and running to May 20.

The show is a collaborative project between the two artists that includes a performance to take place on the opening night, and an installation of video and photography.

The premise of the show, produced during Tel Aviv’s ArtPort residency project, is the result of a “two-month period of intensive research around the intersection of archaeology and politics in the region of Israel/Palestine.”

Looking at the antiquities trade in Israel (which is illegal), the works trace “back to the British Mandate period when Palestine formed part of British Empire” through these objects.

news

Antonis Pittas is presenting solo exhibition Shadows for Construction at London’s Narrative Projects, opening November 11 and running to December 23.

The Amsterdam-based artist works with site-specific installation and objects. There is always a performative aspect to the work and is contextualised within the discourse of architecture, politics and art-historical references. Pittas’ practice is invested in public memory and how “how past and present relate to and reinforce each other”.

Previous exhibitions include Theatre Dreams of a Beautiful Afternoon – Part 2 (2016) at Amsterdam’s Annet Gelink Gallery and The Economy is Spinning (2016) at Eindhoven’s Onomatopee.

Carlos Noronha Feio @ Galerie Iragui, Sep 6 – Oct 1

Carlos Noronha Feio is presenting solo exhibition As you do on earth… at Moscow’s Galerie Iragui, opening September 6 running through October 1.

The exhibition is co-hosted by London’s Narrative Projects and is the first solo show in the Russian capital by the London-based artist. The title comes from the 1924 Soviet silent sci-fi film Aelita. It quotes the intertitle from the scene where ‘Aelita’, who lives on Mars, first encounters ‘Los’, a visitor from Earth. She asks him ‘Touch my lips with your lips – – as you do on Earth’. In this poetic manner, Noronha Feio “underlines the gap in communication inherent within any form of intercultural exchange”.

The artist’s practice is focused on “transcending the limitations of any single culture through the introduction and inclusion of multiple cross-cultural visual vocabularies”. He often works with performance, video, drawing, painting, photography, rug works and multimedia installation.

news

London-based artist Sława Harasymowicz will hold a conversation with artist Uriel Orlow to discuss her current solo exhibition Radio On at Narrative Projects on July 27.

The discussion will respond to archival records. The press release states Harasymowicz “re-applies form in order to open up a historical event as well as the notion of re-enactment”, while the two artists will consider “shared interests and approaches to research and visual methodologies” to explore the “ambiguity of narratives, memory, and archives”.

Radio On is the second chapter of a three-part project by Harasymowicz, and is conceived as a ‘fluid interrogation’ that “exposes the inherent tensions between images, words and historical records in invoking hidden, inconvenient or unwanted memory”.

See the FB event page for more details.**

news

Carlos Noronha Feio is presenting solo exhibition discursive foundations of sunsight at London’s Narrative Projects, opening April 15 and running to June 4.

The Lisbon-born, London-based artist is a member of ‘anonymous’ contemporary art collective Pelican Haus with Richard Parry and has taken part in the AFA group show hosted by 63rd-77th steps in Bari.

This solo exhibition comes introduced by an excerpt of a text responding to the Feio’s work by writer and art historian Yvette Greslé, where his ongoing preoccupation with “questions of nation, nationalism and identity” emerges in the “visual, sonic and associative worlds” of objects, images and sounds that are “from the points in space and time to which they are imagined to belong”.

news

Harm van den Dorpel‘s IOU solo exhibition is showing at London’s Narrative Projects, opening November 10 and running to December 19.

The Netherlands-born and Berlin-based artist’s show includes a press release that carries on a rather personal though politically relevant rundown of a history of free information becoming increasingly monetised and therefore restricted, from Trent Reznor’s obscure Ghosts series, released on Creative Commons, to Google’s cessation of RSS protocol, along with its step towards a “structured (semantic) web”.

The works on show at IOU will consist of large sheets of thermosensitive paper, applying the same principal of thermal paper receipts that use heat instead of ink for a printing method that will slowly disappear in what the press release calls, “a ghostly transaction timestamped in the supposedly perpetual blockchain, our only hope”.
