Andrea Büttner: Beggars and iPhones

Beggars and iPhones, Installation View

Andrea Büttner’s spatial assemblages, which at first sight seem quite unremarkable, challenge a plethora of certainties and give rise to just as many questions. The position the artwork occupies between the intimate practice of its production and the public practice of its presentation is only one of them.

Erin Lawlor

Installation View

Erin Lawlor's recent paintings cite visual memories from childhood, the line and form reminiscent of the undefined biomorphic universes of Sendak or dr. Seuss, with a heightened chromatic range that at times seems to verge on the cartoonish or technicolour.

Whitstable Biennale 2016

 Trish Scott, Study for Medium, 2016, video installation

Ed Atkins

Ed Atkins, Ribbons, installation view at Gavin Brown's enterprise

Atkins has forged an extremely successful career by inserting various, slippery versions of his CGI ‘self’ bang at the centre of his operatically layered video works. It’s a trademark that’s as awkwardly, brain-crushingly present as ever in his current show at Gavin Brown’s new space in a former distillery in Harlem. Review by Helena Haimes

Dan Flavin: It is what it is and it ain’t nothing else

The Ikon building lends a somewhat cosy and domestic vibe to Flavin’s work, which I enjoy far more than some of the often starker forms of presentation in larger institutions. Indeed pairing, or starting a conversation, between Flavin’s work and Ikon’s former school house architecture is central to the exhibition’s design. Review by Sacha Waldron
