The RYDER, 19a Herald Street, London E2 6JT
It’s difficult not to flinch when the word ‘satis’ ricochets through the sober silence of Ewa Axelrad’s exhibition at The RYDER, even after you have heard it for the first time. This sonic intrusion continues to hang in the air as much as it cuts through it with a repeating interval. Review by Joseph Constable
Ort Gallery, 500-504 Moseley Road, Birmingham B12 9AH
This tight and timely show from Kristina Cranfeld comprises two projected films, ‘Manufactured Britishness’ and ‘Dukes Rise’, both absurdist takes on the current immigration crisis and the nostalgic fantasy of resurrecting the Great British identity. Review by Elli Resvanis
New Museum, 235 Bowery, New York, 10002
'Shabby but Thriving' at the New Museum is an installation, centred on a two-channel video, that extends A.K. Burns’ trans-feminist practice. Review by Rusty Van Riper

‘Feral Kin’ is London’s first glimpse into Auto Italia’s collaborative, ongoing project ‘On Coping’. From Johannesburg to Copenhagen, Auto Italia has brought ‘On Coping’ across the world. Working locally with artists in each city, the project seeks to unpack the artist precariat by developing systems of growth through collaboration. Review by Ashley Janke
SE8 Gallery, 171 Deptford High Street, London SE8 3NU
In ‘Future Nothingness’ material and materiality are merged together by Portuguese artist João Biscainho in a well-choreographed display. The exhibition presents a series of works from 2013 – 2015 that take us into a series of marine references, using fluids as the main vehicle to transport the meaning of the works in the semi-dark space of the gallery. Review by Cristina Ramos González
Galerie Sultana, 10 rue Ramponeau 75020, Paris France
Jesse Darling’s work and research considers the social, physical and narrative body as a site where architectural, [bio]political and social structures manifest and become transformed.
The Power Plant, 231 Queens Quay West, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2G8 Canada
As we go about our daily lives, we enter into and are confronted by spaces designed to shape and regulate our behaviour, whether we notice it or not. It is this architecture of control that informs Kapwani Kiwanga’s solo exhibition at The Power Plant.
BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead Quays, South Shore Road, Gateshead NE8 3BA
It is no exaggeration to say there are many layers to Holly Hendry’s ‘Wrot,’ both literally and metaphorically. In her first major institutional exhibition, the emerging British artist presents an imaginative body of work that demonstrates her boldness and ingenuity. Review by Christopher Little
Decad, Gneisenaustraße 52, 10961 Berlin, Germany
Novelist and filmmaker Christopher Petit presents ‘In What’s Missing, Is Where Love Has Gone’. Using a pixelated image of the late David Bowie as a stimulus, the four works presented are an examination of a quiet voyeurism that speaks to internal, often inexpressible observations surrounding popular, repetitive images. Review by Candice Nembhard
Jerwood Visual Arts, Jerwood Space, 171 Union Street, Bankside, London SE1 0LN
Carolina Mostert reflects on new works by Patrick Hough and Lawrence Lek, exploring themes of AI, language and narrative as part of Jerwood/FVU Awards 2017: Neither One Thing or Another.
ICA, The Mall, London SW1Y 5AH
As the main player in a game of shifting dynamics of authority, Boyce enables a fairly unpredictable performative situation but avoids direct involvement in the action. Later on, the artist reshapes the remains of the past event, so to create an installation that aims to become a space for new experience. Review by Chiara Cartuccia
