TAMMI CAMPBELL
NEW WORKS

21 November – 23 December 2015
Galerie Hugues Charbonneau, Montréal

Galerie Hugues Charbonneau is pleased to present Tammi Campbell’s first solo exhibition in Montréal. The artist offers a collection of seven works that cleverly play with the mechanics of painting, the illusion of the senses, and viewers’ expectations.

This new body of work closely follows research begun by Campbell in her previous series titled, Work in progress and Paper series. In open dialogue with the legacy of Modernism and Minimalism, she explored the specificity of the medium of painting and the fetishism of the creative process through works that are painted in trompe-l’œil, but appear to remain unfinished. In Work in Progress, Campbell created simulated beige and green strips of masking tape that effectively imitate the process behind the making of geometric, hard-edge abstract paintings. In Paper series, the potential of the white page is left untouched, as no pictorial element can be detected on its surface, until one realizes that the page itself is made entirely of paint.

Niamh McCann’s practice looks to the visual cultural landscape to invite a reconsideration of our relationship to the world around us, questioning how this world constitutes us as subjects, and how we, in turn, give this world form. As an artist, her exploration of these themes takes the form of concise multi-media work, presented within larger installations and site-responsive pieces.

Dark Matter is a three part exhibition by Thomas Kneubühler, a Swiss artist based in Montréal, presented at different venues across Montréal – Patrick Mikhail Gallery, RIDM Headquaters and Galerie B-312. Dark Matter unites Days in Night and Land Claim, two of Kneubühler’s recent projects. Produced as the result of an artist residency at CFS Alert, a military and research station in the high Arctic located 800 km from the North Pole, Days in Night examines the phenomenon of 24 hour-long polar nights, an experience of living in the dark and the limits of how much one can see. (shown at Patrick Mikhail Glalery and RIDM Headquarters) Similarly, Land Claim (shown at Galerie B-312) investigates mining conditions in Northern Quebec, a highly controlled territory hidden from the public eye and its connection to global markets. Thomas Kneubühler is interviewed below about his upcoming exhibition series, by fellow artist Andreas Rutkauskas Continue reading “Thomas Kneubühler “Dark Matter” at Patrick Mikhail Gallery, RIDM Headquaters & Galerie B-312, Montréal”

l’étrangère, London

l’étrangère is delighted to present Inside Outside: a new body of work encompassing painting and sculpture by the British artist David Ben White. Absorbed within the language and aspirations of modernist architecture, design and art, White’s paintings and sculptures disrupt the self-enclosed logic of this prescriptive legacy through a subversion of its objects and spaces.

White Conduit Projects, London

White Conduit Projects is pleased to present an exhibition of Nick Waplington’s 1990s photographs of the ruins of Japan’s Battleship Island (Gunkanjima). This tiny abandoned island off the coast of Nagasaki, was once a coal mine with a population of 5000, squeezed into a complex maze of imposing concrete apartment blocks (Japan’s first high-rises). Vacated in 1974, Gunkanjima was recently approved as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

HANS ROSENSTRÖM
WHY IS THE REMOTE ALWAYS SO FAR AWAY

11 September – 24 October 2015
Maria Stenfors, London

Text by Yasmina Reggad

With his first solo exhibition at Maria Stenfors, Finnish artist Hans Rosenström outlines themes that have punctuated his practice in the past years. The exhibition presents recent works that address the notions of liminal and transitional states and study the limits of our experience of the world from a singular perspective.

The title Why the remote is always so far away clearly points at something unattainable ahead of us and at the same time paradoxically replicates the precision of a measuring tool. Nevertheless, the very question Hans Rosenström is raising lies in the position of the body itself in relation to the remote. The body stands in the centre, in the in-betweeness surrounded by unreachable far-aways. In this exhibition, the artist investigates the multiple nature and social functions of liminal spaces. Rosenström also strives to draw and mould the contours of the inside and the outside of the body as well as reveals its faculty of resonance that gives shape to its surroundings.

POSITIONS

10 September – 7 November 2015
Dazibao, Montréal

Positions brings together a selection of three moving image works and a suite of drawings by artist David K. Ross. Through the use of customized lens-based devices, Ross explores how sight and sound can be manipulated to alter perception of physical space. In each of the works on display, the viewer is placed in a privileged position and is offered specific access to locations and activities that would otherwise remain concealed or out of reach.

Le Polygraphe

2 – 26 September 2015
Les Territoires, Montréal

Artists: Daisuke Yokota (Japan), Hajra Waheed (Canada), Paulien Barbas (Netherlands)

Curated by Safia Belmenouar (France) and Myrabelle Charlebois (Canada).

The exhibition Le Polygraphe explores the aesthetic perceptions generated when an isolated photograph or preexisting matrix of images are inserted into a new set of narrative. Deliberate technical errors, vernacular productions, recycled images are finding a place in, and redefining art, thanks to the artists who gather, consult, and manipulate them as available objects.
