HOWARD HODGKIN : TIME AND PLACE
Jun 23 - Sep 12, 2010
This major exhibition of paintings by Howard Hodgkin explores the acclaimed British artist’s use of abstraction as an expression of subjective experience. Spanning ten years of the artist’s career, the exhibition will include paintings not previously seen by a broader public, including a powerful body of new work developing out of his 'Home, Home on the Range' series of 2008.

MANFRED PERNICE
Oct 1 - Nov 21, 2010
Manfred Pernice’s practice principally involves the making of large-scale sculptural objects that evoke architectural maquettes and remnants from utilitarian architectural schemes. These are presented as part of multi-layered and complex gallery installations and as direct interventions into public spaces taking inspiration from; bus shelters, railings, public plinths and platforms – spaces that invite a gathering of people or suggest a point of departure. Pernice creates objects and sculptures that suggest themselves already existing in the material fabric of everyday life, formed of a language that is immediately and distinctively recognisable.

SIMON & TOM BLOOR : HIT AND MISS
Oct 1 - Nov 21, 2010
For Modern Art Oxford the artists will create an installation from painted wooden fencing that will act in a variety of ways – as a maze-like screening structure, as a means to create intimate resting spaces within The Yard and as a support for other new works. Using a form of ‘hit and miss’ fencing the installation will further develop themes explored in the Bloors’ previous projects that look to municipal urban and suburban architecture and landscape design, drawing on hazily familiar structural forms to explore nostalgic notions of Britain’s much maligned postwar developments.
