Nicola Lorini

Bora Akinciturk and Nicola Lorini are presenting joint exhibition Take Me Out at London’s 97 Graham Road, E8 1PB, opening July 15 and running to June 17.

Curated by the web-based publishing platform STIMULI (run by Federico Sargentone and Ulya Soley) the collaborative show asks you to, “Go offline. Put your laptop to sleep. Get dressed. Take your keys, phone, wallet and lighter. Leave your flat,” and enter the garden where Akinciturk will present new paintings and a yard-specific sculptural work by Lorini.

The event also announces STIMULI’s upcoming issue Here’s an Old Pic of Me featuring Akinciturk, and designed by Davide Di Teodoro.

The Seminal Bricolage (first attempt) group exhibition is on at Polignano a Mare’s Like a little disaster (L.A.L.D.), opening July 9 and running to August 8.

The exhibition, featuring Agnes Calf, Dorota Gawęda & Egle Kulbokaite, Mikko Kuorinki, and Tabita Rezaire among others, takes French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss’ ‘The Savage Mind’ text as a starting point, citing the term bricolage as an associative practice experienced by many non-western societies, wherein “solutions are invented following paths made of fortuitous, unstable and contingent discoveries”.

The extensive text accompanying the event announcement goes on to explain the concept in terms of multi-directional theories, its favouring dialogue over monologue and its connection with manual activities, as represented by works in show that is explicitly and implicitly conditioned by “complex intersections of class, ethnicity, gender and sexuality”.

Seminal Bricolage will be supported by an interactive online performance by Martina Gold called ‘When Our Lips Speak Together’ on July 11, 18, 25, and August 1, accessible via a secret code retrievable from email press@likealittledisaster.com with subject line ‘Martina NSFW’.
