Three exhibitions @ SALTS, Jun 16 – Aug 28

14 June 2016

news

Three exhibitions will open at SALTS in Birsfelden, opening June 16 and running to August 28.

The first space, organised by SALTS curators Samuel Leuenberger and Elise Lammer will see a duo exhibition by Owen Piper and Lili Reynaud-Dewar called on how to talk dirty and influence people. It promises the offer of a rich show, glittered in the biographical, and hinting at a retrospective conversation between the two artists, who have known each other for decades.

The second, My History of Flows, is by Lena Henke who will use water to change the interior and exterior architecture of the exhibition space. The third, curated by New York-based artist and poet Harry Burke will feature the work of Penny Goring, Lorraine O’Grady, Lady Pink, Arleen Schloss and Martine Syms and is titled Works Off Paper.

The artists, whose work will be installed in SALTS’ ‘Printed Room’, have practices that span what the short text describes as ‘multimodality’ in relation to the word: Fragments of text exist as images in circulation as much as they exist as conjunctions of syntax, metre, person.

See the SALTS website for more information on each show.**

Pure Fiction @ Marian Goodman Gallery, Jun 10 – Jul 22

9 June 2016

news

The Pure Fiction group exhibition is on at Paris’ Marian Goodman Gallery, opening June 10 and running to July 22.

Curated by Julie Boukobza, the show presents selected works by artists living a “double life” in using both visual and written means as part of their practice. The survey spans people born between 1899 and 1990, including Ed Atkins, Win McCarthy, Josef Strau, Michael Dean and Pierre Klossowski, along with works like Bunny Rogers‘ Cunny Poems and Lily-Reynaud Dewar’s A body as public as a book can be.

The press release opens with a quote from Belgian-born poet Henri Michaux —also included in the exhibition — that says “Born, raised, educated in an exclusively ‘verbal’ milieu and culture, I paint to de-condition myself”.

Accompanying the exhibited works, will be books and writing presented on a shelf that doubles as a long frieze, while others contributions come from Robert Filliou, Giuseppe Penone and Marcel Broodthaers.

See the Marian Goodman Gallery website for details.**

Lili Reynaud-Dewar @ Galerie Emanuel Layr, Apr 15 – Jun 4

12 April 2016

news

Lili Reynaud-Dewar is presenting a solo show, Safe Space, at Vienna’s Galerie Emanuel Layr opening April 15 and running June 4.

There is little information on the show itself but French-born Reynaud-Dewar recently presented with the gallery in New York’s Independent Art Fair, showing 12 silk scarfs with printed text on love, sex, risk and vulnerability. The artist has spent the past year with a series of works under the umbrella title, ‘My Epidemic’ featuring a book of texts on her work and the work of other artists, a performance called ‘small modest bad blood opera’, and a day ‘teaching Bjarne Melgaard’s class’, all of which are now accessible through a series of documentation photographs that carry a continued recognisable aesthetic.

Reynaud-Dewar works often to blur her the identity as well as re-investigating and remembering large moments in history that once touched her personally.

See the Galerie Emanuel Layr website for (limited) details.**
