AMONG OTHER THINGS
Jan 10 - Feb 10, 2012 FINAL WEEK
Private view Tue Jan 10 5pm - 8pm
Among Other Things brings together objects, video, sound and installation by four artists who question what it means to produce work through relational encounters with and between people. At a time when the role, affect and stories of objects are undergoing renewed scrutiny the exhibition asks what differences, if any, are evident between encounters with 'objects' formed through relational practices, and those produced from the traditional artistic disciplines.

HANNE DARBOVEN
Jan 20 - Mar 18, 2012
This is the first solo exhibition by German artist Hanne Darboven in the UK. Born in Hamburg in 1941 Darboven studied at the Hochschule für bildende Künste before moving to New York in 1966. During her short time there her work became associated with the beginnings of conceptual and minimal art. She moved back to her family home in 1968 and continued to live and work there among an extraordinary collection of disparate cultural artefacts until her death in 2009. Although her work is largely informed by the principles of these movements there is an intimacy to its production that operates in contrast to an often rigid and regulated appearance.

JOHN WOOD AND PAUL HARRISON : THINGS THAT HAPPEN
Feb 24 - Mar 30, 2012
Private view Thu Feb 23 6pm - 8pm
A4 paper, photocopiers, electric sanders, desk fans, ladders, light shades, lamps, chairs, cardboard boxes, bulldog clips; John Wood and Paul Harrison use the the props of everyday life in the creation of minimal, enigmatic tableaux. However, more recently, a mountain, a seaside pier and the moon have appeared in their studio. Things That Happen, their first solo exhibition in London since 2005, comprises both new commissions and recent works; videos, drawings, sculptures and text pieces that reveal the artists’ characteristic subtle wit and intelligence.

LAURA BUCKLEY : FATA MORGANA
Jan 20 - Feb 26, 2012
Private view Thu Jan 19
Laura Buckley works sculpturally with projected light, making it visible as a medium and causing its dispersal in space, therefore the built environment and structural support that surrounds it have become an integral part of the work. For ‘Fata Morgana’, Buckley will realise an ambitious expansion of her practice incorporating her digital scans, ‘Moving Image Series’ (2010-11), as a starting point for a new intervention in the gallery.

LLOYD JOHNSON : THE MODERN OUTFITTER
Jan 24 - Mar 3, 2012
Private view Tue Jan 24 6pm - 8pm
Curated by Paul Gorman. This new exhibition celebrates the work of Lloyd Johnson, one of the central figures operating at the cross-hatches of popular music and British fashion design and includes garments, textiles, artwork and ephemera from Johnson's own archive and from fans and collectors from around the world. THE MODERN OUTFITTER opens the door on a pre-digital world of shopping, retailing, production and design, one where Johnson’s boutiques became total environments which also told his own story, from Modernist beginnings in the seaside town of Hastings through hippy splendour in London and Paris in the 60s to new wave, post-punk and New Romanticism in the 70s and 80s to LA’s Tiki/lounge scene and Tokyo’s leather-clad rockers of the 90s and 00s. Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Rod Stewart, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Keith Richards, Chrissie Hynde, The Specials, George Michael, Jack Nicholson, Kid Creole, Fred Astaire...the list of Johnson’s fans and customers is as breathtaking as the career of this much-treasured design exemplar.

EAST WING X : MATERIAL MATTERS
Jan 21 - Jul 1, 2012
‘Material Matters’ will be the tenth anniversary East Wing exhibition organized entirely by a committee of dedicated students at The Courtauld Institute of Art in Somerset House. It will look at the process of making and break down the boundaries between the artist, the artwork and the viewer, in order to provide a direct sensory experience. In order to provide this we will be displaying a wide range of media, from paintings and ceramic sculpture, to projections and site specific installations. We also hope to challenge the stereotypical view of art history and art historians alike and create an exhibition that is accessible for everyone, proving that contemporary and cutting edge art does not have to be elitist. A small selection of confirmed artists include Gabriel Dawe, Rachel Whiteread, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Damien Hirst, Simon Edmondson and Slinkachu.

DAN COX LIBRARY A PROJECT WITH ANDY HOLDEN
Feb 17 - Mar 16, 2012
A project by Andy Holden. Including: The Language of the Flowers and the Stars.
An exhibition within the Library, with works by: Ed Atkins, Ruth Beale, Steven Claydon, David Raymond Conroy, Michael Dean, Daniel Eatock, Grubby Mitts, Philip Jeck, Mark Leckey, Georgina Leeson, Claes Oldenburg, Johnny Parry, Francesco Pedraglio, Heather Phillipson, Jason Rhoades, Philip Root and Kurt Vonnegut. The library is a memorial to Dan Cox and a space to explore the nature of his unfinished concept of Thingly Time. Dan died on his bike at Dalston Junction in February last year, whilst he was curating Andy Holden’s exhibition at Kettle’s Yard. Dan’s Library, which first appeared in the exhibition at Kettle’s Yard, is a space containing all of his books, placed in relation to fragments from Andy’s sculptural projects. Thingly Time was to be Dan’s Great Theory, based on observations from Andy’s sculptures, of a three-part division of time as Intensive, Extensive, and Thingly.

AKIKO TAKIZAWA : OVER THE PARCHED FIELD
Jan 18 - Mar 1, 2012
Private view Wed Jan 18 6pm - 8pm
Akiko Takizawa is a Japanese artist based in London. The exhibition, ‘Over the Parched Field’, showcases a selection of Takizawa’s photographs since 2006, including new works made especially for the exhibition. This is Takizawa’s first solo show in London.
Her latest series of photographs were taken in a volcanic mountain area, Osorezan in Aomori, where people go to talk to their deceased family members through a medium. Aomori is in the Tohoku area where local people live in a traditional close-knit society to survive in the severe natural environment. Takizawa says that Osorezan (which means ‘Fear Mountain’) is one of the few places where her soul feels purely happy, even though the place sharpens her sense of isolation and solitude.
Takizawa in conversation with Tate curator of photographs Dr. Simon Baker: 16th Feb.

LYDIA GIFFORD : MIDDAY
Jan 27 - Mar 24, 2012
"Varying degrees of presence lead to different strengths of voice, tensions. The intimate is measured and restrained. A library of nuance is taken from a private studio activity, to a public site, a public moment. Halfway objects provide a starting point. Things come into being in their very utterance, emerging through the telling. I question which of my actions 'hold' their own, what can stay. Some insist, some withdraw. The work sits on the boundary of completion, where tenses co-exist." - Lydia Gifford , 2011

FAYÇAL BAGHRICHE
Jan 20 - Feb 29, 2012
To coincide with Fayçal Baghriche’s current residency at A.i.R Dubai, Delfina Foundation is showcasing four of his short films to kick-start a new film programme for 2012. Fayçal Baghriche works with performance, photography, film and sculpture, examining everyday existence, behavioural forms and collective symbols. He often transforms the public realm into a venue for startling transgressions, absurd scenarios, and minimalist actions tinged with humour. He has shaped an artistic practice that embodies a distinctive state of mind and triggers thoughtful critical reaction.
