Various locations, Bristol
Bristol Biennial 2016 presents thirteen new commissions on the theme of ‘In Other Worlds’. This otherness took many forms: human to non-human, present to future; from the city streets to the very air we breathe. A series of exhibitions, talks, events and satellite projects encourage encounters with, conversations on and explorations of an array of alchemically transformed locations across the city.

The Modern Institute, Aird’s Lane, Glasgow
For his second solo exhibition at The Modern Institute, Nicolas Party has transformed the Aird’s Lane space into an interior populated with temporary walls and murals meticulously rendered to resemble marble and malachite in the manner of trompe l’oeil. This scenery creates a faux-classical setting to present Party’s new body of pastels on canvas.

Raven Row, 56 Artillery Ln, London E1 7LS
Spanning his career of over thirty years, and coming hot on the heels of its sister exhibition, ‘Undoolay’ held earlier in the year at Artists Space, New York, the show testifies to the mounting interest in the artist at a point caught between looking back at the precocious production of youth and the wistful reverie of older age. Review by Oscar Gaynor

Objects just can’t help but mean. They act out and exceed their given context: even a mass-produced object is complex as an embodiment of specifically human relations. Review by Rebecca O'Dwyer
