MERLIN JAMES
Jun 6 - Aug 10, 2013
Parasol unit presents the work of painter Merlin James, focusing on a selection of works from his early career in the 1980s to the present. This will be the artist’s first major one-person exhibition in a London institution. Merlin James’ somewhat enigmatic paintings address a vast and eclectic range of subject matter and richly metaphoric imagery. James' works interrogate traditional approaches of painting, often actively integrating the physicality of the canvas and stretcher into the composition, as well as incorporating dust, glue or debris into the surface.

SAMUEL FOSSO : PHOTOGRAPHS
Jun 7 - Jul 6, 2013
I've been taking pictures in my studio since 14 September 1975, when I was 13 years old. I was bored. I asked a photographer in the studio next to me where we lived in Bangui, in the Central African Republic, if he would take me on, and he said yes. I worked with him for five months, then opened my own place for passport and portrait and wedding photographs.
I started taking self-portraits simply to use up spare film; people wanted their photographs the next day, even if the roll wasn't finished, and I didn't like waste. The idea was to send some pictures to my mother in Nigeria, to show her I was all right.
Then I saw the possibilities. I started trying different costumes, poses, backdrops. It began as a way of seeing myself grow up, and slowly it became a personal history - as well as art I suppose. In 1994 there was a exhibition of African photography in Mali. I looked out some of my self-portraits, and won first prize. Now my work has been exhibited in Paris, New York, London.

SCAT : SONIA BOYCE - SOUND AND COLLABORATION
Jun 5 - Jul 24, 2013
Presented across all public spaces of Rivington Place, Scat centres on the significance of sound in art and explores how we experience sound, both collectively and intimately. Two immersive video works are brought together for the first time along with the Devotional Collection, Boyce’s archive of CDs cassettes, vinyl records and other ephemera.
For you, only you (2007), in collaboration with Mikhail Karikis and early music consort Alamire, transforms a 16th century musical masterpiece into a contemporary vocal composition. Oh Adelaide (2010), a collaborative work by Sonia Boyce and Ain Bailey, incorporates found footage of jazz singer and entertainer, Adelaide Hall (1901-1993), and mixes her voice with digitised and condensed recordings from the Devotional Collection.

NONSENSE : WORKING WITH VOICES. MIKHAIL KARIKIS EXPLORES HIS WORK
Jun 20, 2013 6:30pm - 8:30pm talk/event
Mikhail Karikis, co-collaborator on the work 'For You, Only You', explores his work as a sound artist through performance, film and discussion with Sonia Boyce.
Mikhail Karikis is a Greek/British artist. He trained and Slade School and his work in video, performance, drawing and sound is equally embraced by the art gallery and concert halls. His most recent solo show was SeaWomen at Arnolifni, Bristol 2013. Recent group exhibitions include Manifesta 9 and 54th Venice Biennale. Forthcoming shows include Aquatopia at Nottingham Contemporary, Aichi Triennale Japan, Art Sheffield and The 19th Biennale of Sydney. Karikis is also a researcher at the University of Brighton.
The film For you, only you is presented at Rivington Place as part of the exhibition Scat.

TALKING ABOUT ARTISTS MAKING RECORD : CHAIRED BY ELECTRA

Lawrence Abu Hamdan and Charlotte Prodger with Fatima Hellberg and Irene Revell from Electra
Through conversation and selected sound-based and video material from artists Lawrence Abu Hamdan and Charlotte Prodger, the event explores questions of the manifestation of musical and sonic cultures in artistic practice.
Does contemporary art offer a particular space for irreverence or critical discourse? What is this exchange: what are the specific vocabularies that are at stake; how do modes of production and distribution translate across disciplines and contexts?

SAMARA SCOTT: CD0XDSSPI
Mar 2 - Jul 6, 2013
Cd0xdsspi is a new project for the cabinet room by Samara Scott. Scott treats the space like a cleavage, a utilisation of a warm soft space for placing items. Objects are amassed from everyday life–sticky sweeties, warm-washed materials, starchy dyed foodstuffs, chewy Blu-Tack, hand torn crusts of sponges and glittery rubbish suggesting an underwater world of slow churning memories, synth pop or perhaps the feeling of a summer holiday in the Bosporus. The tempo dribbling between these erratic ‘mating surfaces’ is hesitant, frustrated–a webby top layer scattering jerks of exclamation marks and slurred pauses. The posing composition of fizzy and soft edges and semi-undressed sediments are a lasagna-sandwich of plastic nostalgia.

FOR AS AGAINST
Jun 8 - Jul 6, 2013
FOR AS AGAINST includes works by Anthony McCall and Andrew Tyndall, Steina and Woody Vasulka, Kathy Acker and Atalia ten Brink (formally Shaw) and Tom Kalin.
This is about affirmation. This is about critique. This is about critique and affirmation. Critique itself is generally understood as a negative position, oppositional, of being against something rather than for another thing, and this is important but at the same time it tends to hamper the very negativity it engenders, in that critique itself ends up getting defined by and wrapped up in the very thing it is trying to criticise.
