REVEALING EVIDENCE
Sep 15 - Oct 23, 2010
Two artists using textiles and photography to explore the area between hard evidence and supposition, realism and theatre are the subject of a new exhibition opening at PM Gallery & House. Shelly Goldsmith and Sarah Pickering explore the working methods and thought processes of forensic scientists, to fill their work with stories and imagined scenarios. Together, the work illustrates the extent to which both scientists and artists, working in very different practices, build pictures, construct scenarios and make assumptions.

DARK NATURE
Sep 17 - Oct 17, 2010
The tendency for contemporary art to reference the darker side of the human psyche as a response to our troubled times has been prevalent in recent years and has led to many artists referencing imagery that has a direct relationship with death, gothic aesthetics and apocalyptic themes and that has often felt contrived and superficial.
The group of artists presented in ‘Dark Nature’ references those dark themes with a singularity that suggests their relationship to their world is far from a pose. This is work that has a quietness and subtlety and whose near obsessive qualities suggest it could be made in a bedroom whilst listening to Sabbath albums…. backwards.

HYPERCOMIC : THE SHAPES OF COMICS TO COME?

MAGIC SHOW
Oct 6 - Dec 19, 2010
Magic Show - The Hayward Touring Exhibition
Magic for some invites the creative agency of fantasy and illusion; for others it signals a licence to practice deception. Curated by Jonathan Allen & Sally O'Reilly, Magic Show considers both these approaches, taking fiction and trickery to be interwined, historically prevalent and culturally pivotal. The exhibition demonstrates how artists adopt the perception-shifting ploys of the theatrical magician to summon wonderment whilst simultaneously performing critique, but also reveals how strategic illusion and misdirection can be employed in more ominous contexts.
