TIMESWEPT - DUBLIN

April 16th to May 9th

This new body of work by Margaret McLoughlin conjures up the isolation and desolation of a forest landscape. The power of the elements is seen in the fallen trees, the broken branches and the windswept plane. This constant natural regeneration bears witness to the passing of time. Remnants of man-made structures evoke our fleeting presence on the landscape. McLoughlin uses carborundum and drypoint to convey the rich colours and textures of this wet peaty landscape. In a new departure for McLoughlin, this exhibition includes oils on canvas affording the artist a new domain to explore.

BOMB AWAY - BERLIN

BOMBS AWAY! A graffiti show curated by Yasha Young and American graffiti artist Tim Conlon aka CON Featuring over 20 international artists including:

AREK, BASER, BIG5, CAMEO, IZ the WIZ, CAN2, CON, DAKS, ELKAMINO, MYTH, RAMS, REI21, SBONE, ENUE, JASE, KAPUT, KING157, SEEN, SMASH74, SOVIET, STAK, WANE, WEBONE, and WINK among others.
Starts April 17th at 7 p.m. – runs until May 3rd.

Graffiti’s invasion of everyday culture, from the underground of subway walls and freight trains into our daily lives, started for good in the 1980s. Both its commercialization but also its upheld status as an illegal “outlaw” activity has since ensured graffiti’s continued appeal and the controversy surrounding it. Over the last few years, its acceptance as a true art form, of meaningful cultural expression rather than as mere vandalism performed by rebellious teenagers, has steadily grown, and consequently the art world’s interest in graffiti and its history, as well as other forms of street art has led the medium away from the streets, into commercial settings, and onto the exhibition walls of galleries and museums.

JIN SHAN - SHANGHAI

PEKING FINE ARTS and DDM Warehouse presents Jin Shan Solo Exhibition: Stephen the Speculator

APRIL 11th - MAY 17, 2009

In Jin Shan's Solo Exhibition, the artist fabricates his show around an abstract martyr - Stephen (the Protomartyr of Christianity).

In the show, the abstract martyr is materialized into a herd of persecuted sheep, the latter being imagined as Stephen, the martyr of reality.

The exhibition is divided into five individual parts telling one story: sheep persecuted, sheep educated, and sheep's fight-back integrating animation, performance and installation.

The visitors are guided by the artist's designed route into a testing field for the power of creating martyr which humorously discusses the topics of how the public obtains power and the destiny of a martyr.

11 AVRIL - 17 MAI 2009

Dans l'exposition solo de Jin Shan, l'artiste fabrique son spectacle autour d'un présumé martyr - Stephen (le Protomartyre du christianisme).

Dans le spectacle, le présumé martyr prend la forme d'un troupeau de moutons persécutés, par Stephen, le martyr de la réalité.

L'exposition est divisée en cinq parties racontant une histoire: les moutons persécutés, les moutons instruits, et les moutons qui luttent en intégrant animation, performance et installation.

Les visiteurs sont guidésselon un itinéraire conçu par l'artiste, un lieu qui teste la puissance de la création de martyr et qui traite avec humour la manière dont le public obtient le pouvoir et le destin de martyr.

Masami Yamamoto s’inspire d’objets issus de la vie quotidienne.
Elle les enveloppe, les dissimule, les travesti,
ils deviennent de vagues souvenirs enfuis au plus profond de notre mémoire.
Ainsi éveille-t-elle en nous, au travers d’objets pas si banals que cela,
notre histoire, nos souvenirs d’enfance et bien d’autres émotions et sensations enfuies…
Je vous invite, au travers de son travail, à découvrir votre univers.
