Storage

Events + exhibitions, May 4 – 10

6 May 2015

The art world would mostly be preoccupied with the 56th Venice Biennale in the week beginning May 4. Highlights at the prestigious Italian art fair including Burger King Venezia, Pizza Pavilion, The Internet Saga and SUNSCREEN online initiative listed in our short summary here of some things to look out for.

There are still things happening in other parts of the world, including an national election in the UK, along with parties and gatherings to celebrate/commiserate. There are new exhibitions at Arebyte Gallery, Millington|Marriot and Rod Barton, as well as the third in a series of events supporting the Multiverse Spring Residency at Wysing Arts Centre and Morgan Quaintance in conversation with Gery Georgieva around her Solo Romantika exhibition.

Elsewhere, the second of four shows in on for One Thoresby Street‘s S1 series in Nottingham, including writing by Candice Jacobs and Lindsey Mendick, Otto Byström’s Ratchet Shit is on at Helsinki’s Sorbus-galleria, and Amalia Ulman is speaking in Oberlin as part of Storage‘s excellent ongoing programme.

Hannah Black @ Storage, Apr 28

27 April 2015

Artist-writer Hannah Black is coming to Oberlin, Ohio’s Storage for a presentation of her new work in the form of a reading called Alphabet on April 28.

Black is joining the event series once known as Don’t Unplug Me and now transitionally as No Disclaimer, which focuses on the work of young and emerging female identifying and trans artists. Having worked as a writer for some time, and joining The New Inquiry as contributing editor, Black will be showcasing her work orally, with a reading.

The artist’s previous work, both visual and written — including essays like ‘You Are Too Much’ and ‘K in Love’ — draws on the autobiographical as much as it does the theoretical, blending pop with philosophy and drawing on communism, feminism, and black radical thought.

See the FB event page for details. **
