FERNANDA FRAGATEIRO
Oct 1 - Nov 5, 2010
Fernanda Fragateiro presents a group of new works in which she continues her innovative and inspiring investigation into issues related to architecture, space, landscape and memory. The Lisbon-based artist creates sculptures and installations, intervening, cutting through, subtracting and collecting remnants of places, new or long gone, either by creating her own matters, or by re-contextualising familiar objects such as books, models, mirrors and broken bricks. The show also includes a few site-specific works.

SADEGH TIRAFKAN : HUMAN TAPESTRY
Sep 15 - Oct 7, 2010
Tirafkan's works offer an eloquent meditation on modern Iranian man's relationship to his past and his search for a meaningful identity in the present. Tirafkan, frequently using himself as a model, revisits and reinvents the themes of identity, history and memory in his series of enigmatic yet visually compelling photographs.
 
“In my project, I have platformed and emphasized the population issue as it is faced in today’s Iran... My goal is to demonstrate that all people regardless of gender, culture and religion are indeed looking for inner peace and sanctity.” S.T.
 
Tirafkhan uses the carpet as an emblem of Persian cultural richness, diversity and continuity. His works weaves together the symbolic and the concrete in an intricate tapestry of human existence.

PASCAL HACHEM
Oct 15 - Nov 27, 2010
Pascal Hachem's work involves displacing actions, not the actions of video, but those which are real, in the moment and are performed by the artist himself or the objects he constructs. These constructed objects, due to his engineering background, are highly mechanised and composed of seemingly complex processes, yet these movements can only be described as sublimely simple. This background also allows him to perceive things from a very particular angle. He picks details from daily life and alters their nature by reinterpreting their function, leaving the viewer feeling threatened and insecure - a hammer that mechanically destroys a wall, slowly but surely, with precise rhythmic movements; a t-shirt that is gradually ripped asunder by the weight of the progressive accumulation of sand. Although the objects employed are familiar, Pascal challenges that familiarity by transforming their purpose and so rendering them foreign, thus taking both object and viewer out of their comfort zone.

ADENIYI OLAGUNJU
Aug 5 - Sep 5, 2010 FINAL WEEK
This is the first solo exhibition in the UK of work by British/Nigerian artist Adeniyi (‘Niyi) Olagunju. The exhibition comprises wood-based installations, made using discarded wooden-pallets, referencing global trade, and its effect on Africa. Born in 1981 in Sagamu, Nigeria, Niyi Olagunju now lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas. He studied at Lagos College, (Yaba Tech), and the Ruskin School, Oxford University. He also served a four year stint in the Royal Engineers, including two operational postings to Basra (Iraq) and Northern Ireland.

SUSANNE SIMONSON
Sep 9 - Oct 3, 2010
FRED is delighted to announce Susanne Simonson’s first solo exhibition in the UK. Born in Sweden in 1969, she has shown regularly in Europe and the United States, but never here. The paintings are of traditional subjects, of portraits and still-lives, and the references are of traditional genres, traditional motifs, and techniques. Her confident compositions grow from preparatory drawings, and underlying drawings. She uses a palette limited to browns turning to violets, ochres, rose red and petrol green.

FIONA TAN
Sep 17 - Oct 29, 2010
Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new video and photographic works by Fiona Tan.
 
The 45 minute film Cloud Island (2010) depicts the small island of Inujima which is located in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea. Inujima is in many ways exemplary of Japan’s last 400 years of industrialization. Once an island of fishermen and farmers, Inujima then became a place of granite quarries and copper refineries. Now all the works stand empty; the quarries filled with water, factory chimneys crumbling. The island’s aged population has dwindled to around fifty people who continue their day-to-day lives in this evocative and rather neglected place where clipped trees and well tended allotments stand next to abandoned homes.
