SONG DONG : WASTE NOT
Feb 15 - Jun 12, 2012
New commission for The Curve gallery. A meditation on family life and the artist’ own childhood during the Cultural Revolution, the installation comprises over 10,000 items collected by Song Dong’s mother over five decades - ranging from a section of the house to metal pots and plastic bowls to blankets, bottle caps, toothpaste tubes and toys. The activity of saving and reusing things is in keeping with the Communist adage wu jin qu yong – ‘waste not’ – a prerequisite for survival during periods of social and political turmoil.

DAVID SPILLER : JUST YOU KNOW WHY
Jan 25 - Feb 18, 2012
‘We’re living in hard times,’ says Spiller, ‘so somebody’s got to hold a beacon to show the way, to show that life is fun.’ Beginning his career in the 1960s, he occupies a unique position in the contemporary art world: he belongs to the Pop tradition but is not a Pop artist. He is more than that. An artist with a fertile and relentlessly active mind, this new body of work is robust and energising – cheeky and poignant.

JAMES IVESON : CAMPAIGN
Feb 10 - Mar 24, 2012
In James Iveson's striking new series of paintings, the artist's first solo show at Bischoff/Weiss, the colours, textures and shapes hover, tangled between abstraction and representation. A palette of rich peacock blues, petrol greens and shadowy greys along with smears of brighter aqua and acid green, burgundy and fluorescent yellow runs through the series, inspired by motifs from a recent Gucci campaign.
Iveson's paintings reframe and focus in on the detail of the campaign; not simply describing these elements, he is utilising them as established anatomies (the cut of a jacket, the print of a fabric, the back of the model) and re-making them as painting, for study as painting, re-making as direct presence.
