'AI PORTRAITURE: US AND THEM'
Jun 24 - Aug 8, 2021 FINAL WEEK
Annka Kultys Gallery is pleased to announce as its annual summer exhibition for 2021, AI Portraiture: Us and Them, which brings together selected recent portraits made ‘by’ and/or ‘of’ hybrid human artificial intelligence. The show features the work of eight artists: Ai-Da Robot, Gretchen Andrew, Stine Deja, Claire Jervert, LaTurbo, Bill Posters, Thomas Webb and Ziyang Wu. Presenting the show in 2021 is particularly timely, as it marks fifty years since AARON, the landmark autonomous art-producing computer programme was created in 1971 by Harold Cohen, the pioneering British-born artist (1928-2016) whose work was a harbinger of much of today’s contemporary artistic practice in the AI space.
 
'Will the machine cut out the creative artists? I sincerely hope, that machines will never replace the creative artist, but in good conscience I cannot say that they never could.' — Professor Dennis Gabor (‘Encounter’, May 1960).

STEFANIA BATOEVA, PAM EVELYN, FRANCESCA MOLLETT: LE COEUR ENCORE
Jul 3 - Aug 7, 2021 FINAL WEEK
Le coeur encore brings together a group of new paintings by London based artists Stefania Batoeva, Pam Evelyn and Francesca Mollett. Drawing broadly on inspiration taken from hydrofeminism, psychoanalysis or the metaphysical (and metaphorical) essence of weather and the natural environment, the works included in this show ultimately find synchronicity through their expressiveness, where form and meaning is loose and ambivalent. The title, taking its name from a painting by Batoeva, perhaps suggests trusting in one’s intuition, staying with the abstract and allowing oneself to return again and again to a place of feeling and imagination unencumbered by self-consciousness. ‘Le coeur encore’ also speaks of the core, the centre or meeting point of body and mind.

LUCY MCKENZIE : PLEASURE’S INACCURACIES (SUDBURY TOWN STATION)
through Nov 2021
Art on the Underground present a large-scale public commission of permanent and temporary artworks by Scottish-born, Belgium-based artist Lucy McKenzie, titled Pleasure’s Inaccuracies.
 
McKenzie is fascinated by the decoration of public spaces such as train stations, and her work frequently combines source material from the realms of historical design, advertising and architecture. For what is her most ambitious public commission to date, she chose Sudbury Town Tube station, a historic, listed building designed by Charles Holden in 1931, for its location and architecture. Situated outside of central London, with a cavernous main hall, original features and waiting rooms on each platform, the station is evocative of another era.
 
By respecting Sudbury Town’s original design, McKenzie’s commission reflects the present through the aesthetics of the past. The commission comprises a number of elements: two permanent hand-painted ceiling murals featuring maps of the local area; a highly detailed architectural model of the station which will remain on permanent display; two large billboards installed on each platform; and a series of posters which will be on display until November 2021.
