About the Exhibitions
On view until 5 November in the ground floor gallery, Ulysses de Santi presents their first pop-up show in London of Brazilian Modern Design. Spanning from 1950s to early 1970s, the show includes iconic design pieces from Joaquim Tenreiro, Jorge Zalzupin and Sergio Rodrigues.
Mount Kimbie: Die Cuts
4–5 November
The month of November kicks off with a special 2-day audio-visual presentation to mark the new double album launch of Mount Kimbie 'MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning', due to release on 4 November via Warp records. The new album’s visuals were created in collaboration with the acclaimed photographer and film maker and Tyrone Lebon and US visual artist and sculptor Tom Shannon. Accompanied by the new album, Tyrone Lebon’s film and prints, as well as Tom Shannon’s prints ‘The Four World Set (ephemera)’ will be on view from 4-5 November in gallery 2 and 3.
From 10 - 26 November, the gallery programme brings together three solo exhibitions of Mark Yang by Various Small Fires, Nedia Were by Ross-Sutton Gallery, and Vanessa Baird by OSL Contemporary.
Various Small Fires: Mark Yang
10–26 November
With locations in Los Angeles, Dallas and Seoul, Various Small Fires brings a solo exhibition of Jersey City-based artist Mark Yang, titled 'Lucid Dreams. Yang's paintings concern how we entwine, interact with, and read other human beings. Yang avoids depicting faces in favour of ambiguity and a slower visual read. His figures are male, female, and sometimes gender neutral - they are not sexualised - reflecting what is in front of him, using himself as a quotidian model.
Ross-Sutton Gallery: Nedia Were
10–26 November
New York-based gallerist Destinee Ross-Sutton presents a solo exhibition of self-taught artist Nedia Were, titled 'My World/View'. Consisting of large canvases in his signature style, each work is a personal interpretation of a renowned masterpiece, as an experimental play on works such as Rubens’ 'The Three Graces', Edouard Manet's 'Olympia' and 'Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe', Velazquez 'The Rokeby Venus', Michelangelo's 'The Creation of Adam' or Botticelli's 'The Birth of Venus'.
OSL Contemporary: Vanessa Baird
10–26 November
The exhibition titled 'I Can Get Right Down to the End of the Town and Be Back in Time for Tea' features new works by Vanessa Baird, one of the most distinct voices in Norwegian contemporary art. Baird’s work is storytelling of a kind that is both potently provocative and emphatically individual, drawing on a wide range of references from her own lived experiences, as well as from Scandinavian folklore and literature. The exhibition comprises of two new series made in pastel and watercolour: an extensive presentation of smaller format works and a series of larger individual works. Baird's exhibition at No.9 Cork Street coincides with her show 'I Get Along Without You Very Well' at Glasgow Women's Library, opening on 17 November, which draws on the artist’s Scottish heritage.
Writer Roger Malbert notes: “Vanessa Baird lives to draw – she says she has drawn every day for fifty years – and her life is her subject matter. In her images of her domestic environment, she features as a character along with her mother and three children, the generations coexisting and mirroring each other as variations of a single persona - or the stages of life. Vanessa Baird’s realism, however, is leavened by humour and fantasy, the capricious imagination of an accomplished illustrator of ghoulish folk tales and gruesome fables”.
