EDGAR MARTINS : THIS IS NOT A HOUSE
Jan 17 - Mar 4, 2012
This is not a House formed part of an assignment for The New York Times Magazine, one that turned into an international controversy.
The US sub-prime mortgage crisis, which has its roots in the c losing years of the twentieth century, became apparent in 2007 and exposed pervasive weaknesses as well as deep-rooted inequalities within financial industry regulation and the global financial system. In the winter of 2008, Martins produced a series of photographs that explored the collapse of the US housing market. He photographed abandoned homes, golf courses, ski resorts, hotels and other building projects in sixteen locations, across six separate States.

ROTHKO IN BRITAIN

The Whitechapel Gallery revisits its famous first exhibition of Mark Rothko in Britain. In 1961 the Whitechapel Gallery showed the work of American artist Mark Rothko in Britain for the first time. While working on his Whitechapel Gallery exhibition Rothko made a breakthrough that was to become the blueprint for all his subsequent shows. This now iconic exhibition is brought vividly to life through the Gallery’s archives of original photographs and letters from the artist shown alongside Rothko’s painting Light Red Over Black (1957).
