Oct 30 - Dec 20, 2019
Presenting a set of newly-conceived paintings by Peter Davies.

HANA MILETIć : INCOMPATIBILITIES
Oct 30 - Dec 20, 2019
Introducing a new body of handwoven textile works by Hana Miletić. Made with bags of discarded, incompatible yarn that the artist bought from the only still existing yarn factory in her hometown Zagreb, the works pay homage to the textile industry in Yugoslavia. Following the civil war and ethnic conflicts in the 1990s this once booming industry was dismantled and subsequently privatised. The salvaged yarns which are used in the works are remains of the rolls reserved exclusively for the export market and produced in certain colours and are only available at the local market as low quality, sample scraps or ‘incompatible colours’.

EDWARD CHELL : COMMON GROUND
Nov 16 - Dec 14, 2019
Private view Fri Nov 15 6pm - 9pm
For Edward Chell’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, the artist presents a selection of wall and floor works exploring a conflation of the precious or revered with the overlooked or discarded, questioning how our ideas about taste are inherited. The works explore themes of consumption and waste, through the aesthetic elevation of ordinary objects and industrial landscapes such as weeds, transportation pallets and spoil tips.
 
Amid increasing awareness of how our consumption impacts on the environment, Common Ground reminds us that C18th mass consumption, the collecting and fetishising of goods for display, sowed the seeds of our current ecologies. The combined impact of these diverse works is both a celebration of covetable materials and a critique of rampant acquisitiveness.

NOTHING LESS! : 100 YEARS OF WOMEN’S SUFFERAGE
Oct 10, 2019 - Jan 31, 2020
As we were celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote in Austria and the UK, we were also witnessing an alarming setback in the rights of women and the LGBTQ community due to conservative turns in politics. The exhibition Nothing Less! 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage questions what constitutes women's rights today and galvanises feminist legacies that are often taken for granted. We demand nothing less than what has already been fought for and accomplished. We look ahead and move forward. Nothing less!

Gallery: Sun-Tues 10-6, Wed-Sat 10-8
This landmark exhibition explores the electrifying history of cabarets, cafés and clubs in modern art across the world, from London to New York, Paris, Mexico City, Berlin, Vienna, and Ibadan. Discover over 200 works of art, many rarely seen in the UK, as well as life-size recreations of avant-garde spaces.
Spanning the 1880s to the 1960s, Into the Night celebrates the creativity of the spaces in which artists, performers, designers, musicians and writers congregated to push the boundaries of artistic expression. The exhibition offers insight into the immersive Cabaret Fledermaus in turn-of-the-century Vienna; the heady atmosphere of Berlin clubs in Weimar Germany; the pulsating energy of the jazz scene in Harlem, New York; the vibrant context of the Mbari clubs in 1960s Nigeria; and more.

An exhibition of new paintings by St Ives based contemporary artist, Naomi Frears, featuring over 25 new works using oil on canvas, acrylic on wood, dry point on linen and mono printing. In this new series of work, Frears depicts a variety of enigmatic human forms that simultaneously confront the viewer and appear lost in their own worlds. The vast space gives no indication of any concrete context, but possesses a certain depth that pulls the viewer in. Frears sometimes describes her works as love letters, though she is not always sure to whom they are addressed.

CAMILLA LØW : ALFABET
Oct 4, 2019 - Jan 17, 2020
Coinciding with Løw's forthcoming publication outdoors utendørs, the exhibition introduces the idea of transferral – outdoor sculpture elements within an enclosed space. The show title refers to the book by Danish poet Inger Christensen (1935–2009), where each chapter represents a single letter. With this system the artist follows a self-imposed order, simultaneously gaining a sense of release. Just as each of Christensen’s poems are formed from symbols and associations, letters enable Løw.

EVA ROTHSCHILD : FURNITURE, TAPESTRY AND CERAMICS
Sep 27 - Nov 23, 2019
Blue Projects is pleased to present the first exhibition of design works by internationally renowned artist Eva Rothschild. The project will include furniture, ceramics and the second tapestry created by the artist in collaboration with West Dean College of Arts and Conservation.
 
Developed out of the legacy of the modernist sculptural tradition, in particular the formal languages of such artists as Barbara Hepworth and Eva Hesse, Rothschild’s practice explores sculpture’s capacity to create bodily encounters through the colonisation of space. Her approach to mass, materiality and colour reflects a refined aesthetic sensibility that redeploys and subverts familiar sculptural formats.

GRUPPO DEL CENOBIO : FONTANA, MANZONI AND THE AVANT-GARDE
Oct 2 - Nov 22, 2019
Curated by Alberto Mazzacchera. With this exhibition, Brun Fine Art explores the avant-garde of the Cenobio group, which emerged in 1960s Milan in a fertile, international cultural climate following the crisis of Art Informel. The group’s emergence was rooted in the teachings of Lucio Fontana (1899–1968) and the relationships, in some cases also collaborations, between its members and Piero Manzoni (1933–1963). The exhibition was developed in collaboration with the studios of the living artists and the archives where their art is preserved.
