A Rose is without a ‘why’… @ Carl Freedman Gallery, Jul 16 – Aug 19

15 July 2016

The A Rose is without a ‘why’. It blooms because it blooms group exhibition is on at London’s Carl Freedman Gallery, opening July 19 and running to August 19.

There is little information on the themes of the show except that it’s curated by Sean Steadman, and features work by the London-based artist himself, as well as Marcela Florido, Kira Freije, Gabriel Hartley, Sebastian Jefford, Benito Mayor Vallejo, and Zadie Xa.

Steadman, meanwhile, had his first solo exhibition at London’s Project Native Informant in late 2015 with a title that shares a similarly existential sentiment —The Earth is the Earth Because it is Nothing Other Than the Earth. He has also took part in a recent iteration of Marcelle Joseph Projects’ At Home Salon earlier this year in which fellow A Rose is without a ‘why’… exhibitor Xa also showed.

See the Carl Freedman Gallery website for more details.**

Sebastian Jefford @ Cactus, Mar 21 – Apr 20

21 March 2014

Sebastian Jefford is presenting solo exhibition This Inferior Mirage at Liverpool’s Cactus gallery, opening March 21 and running to April 20.

In light of a current preoccupation with art evolved from the immaterial object to how a human handles it, the show explores “the residue of an activity that may or may not have happened”.

With the screen as a space and fingertips as the action, Jefford’s idea of “surface as a line of flight” comes in this “precarious vehicle for closeness, knowledge, aspiration and red herrings”.
