Morning uber, evening oscillators @ Seventeen, Nov 17 – Dec 17

14 November 2016

The Morning uber, evening oscillators group exhibition is on at London’s Seventeen gallery, opening November 17 and running to December 17. 

“Weird, he never really rested, he said, the light and the consciousness of the waking world didn’t let him feel properly rested. And if your productivity and consumption are set to night, everything changes, he added. I felt, I knew what he meant.”

Organised by Attilia Fattori Franchini, the show brings together work by VALIE EXPORT, Eloise Hawser, Sebastian Lloyd Rees and Hannah Perry. The four practices unite to explore “urbanism, negative spaces, fragmentation and dream-states” and respond to deeper narratives in our contemporary, consumer culture.

ABNORMCORE @ Room East, July 3 – Aug 2

2 July 2014

The ABNORMCORE exhibition is taking place in New York City’s Room East from July 3 to August 2.

The lyrical and abstract press release provided for the exhibition does little else than illuminate the imagination, with an instruction-like list of the K-hole coined term-cum-meme ‘normcore’-like demands.

With lines like “WEAR JEANS” and “FIND CHILDREN DELIGHTFUL” and “BE A LITTLE BIT DEPRESSED”, ABNORMCORE pokes fun at the straightjacket of normativity become apparent fashion statement and the aspiring that fall into it like sheep.

The exhibition features the works of seven diverse artists, including those of Darja Bajagić, the drawings of Chris Domenick, minimal works by Carl Andre, installation-like pieces of Joe Graham-Felsen and Lisa Williamson, pieces by Sebastian Lloyd Rees, and even a furniture design by none other than David Lynch.
