SUMMARY:Guided tour – Medicine Man
DESCRIPTION:Sir Henry Wellcome was an enthusiastic traveller and collector – amassing well over a million books\, paintings and objects from around the world. \nMost of his collecting was in the two areas that fascinated him the most – health and medicine. ‘Medicine Man’ is our free permanent display of a small part of that huge collection. \nHere\, you can find out how people have viewed the basics of life over the centuries – birth\, health\, sex and death. Explore a wide range of objects that includes a set of Japanese sex aids from the 1930s\, a unique collection of votive offerings and some diagnostic dolls used by women in 18th century China to show male doctors where they were feeling pain. \nWe also have a metal executioner’s mask from Portugal. There are also some direct connections to major historical figures. The exhibition features Napoleon’s toothbrush\, Nelson’s razor\, Charles Darwin’s walking stick\, Florence Nightingale’s moccasins and even some of King George III’s hair. \n*********************** \nThe tour will be conducted by one of the collection’s Visitor Experience Assistants. For those who have time we will being going to a nearby coffee shop afterwards to enable members socialize. \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Guided tour/ artist’s talk – Ana Cvorovic – ‘Borders Unfold’
DESCRIPTION:‘Borders Unfold’\, the first UK solo show of Sarajevo-born British artist Ana Čvorović. \nAna will be on hand to take us on a tour of the exhibition and share her insights. \n‘Borders Unfold’ is the culmination of a year-long exploration of the complex psychological effects of geographic dislocation\, particularly within communities from former Yugoslavia displaced during the civil war of the nineties. \nAiming to create a link between her own experience of displacement and that of others\, the artist pursued a research residency in Utica\, New York\, the city with the largest rate of refugees per capita in the US\, in the summer of 2018. Having worked with the local community on interviews\, workshops and sound recordings\, now she returns to sculpture to unfold her own interpretation of this investigation. \nThe exhibition will feature a new body of work comprised of sculptural works\, site-specific installations and a surround soundscape\, inviting visitors to experience the gallery space as an immersive journey. \nElements such as cast objects\, oil paintings on tarpaulin\, and everyday items incapsulated in resin\, present some of Čvorović’s recurring motifs\, as well as new sculptural processes initiated for this project. \nAs with previous works\, the vulnerability of childhood is evoked in visceral\, sensorial ways. Whilst in Discharged (2014) we saw child mattresses protruded by a metal frame\, ‘Borders Unfold’ introduces a series of aquatic references\, like children’s swim suits and colorful fishing paraphernalia\, highlighting water as a host for varied psychological states.

SUMMARY:Guided tour - Albert Oehlen: 'Spiegelbilder' exhibition at Galerie
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together singular paintings from a significant early series in Albert Oehlen’s oeuvre\, this will be the first exhibition dedicated to the Spiegelbilder (‘Mirror Paintings’) in the UK. \nThe exhibition coincides with a major solo show of the artist’s work at the Serpentine Gallery\, London\, which opens on 2 October 2019. Spanning eight years\, from 1982 – 1990\, the Spiegelbilder series straddles a decisive period for the artist\, during which he moved from the crude figuration and “bad painting” of the late 1970s and early 80s\, towards non-objective painting in the late 1980s. \nThrough the Spiegelbilder\, Oehlen cemented his reputation for subverting painting conventions. “This mirror idea allowed me to make an ‘original’ invention\, but one that is bearable because it is so hackneyed.” –– Albert Oehlen. \nOne of Oehlen’s earliest bodies of work\, the Spiegelbilder are distinguished by actual pieces of mirror collaged onto the surface of the canvas\, highlighting the artist’s unconventional approach to painting from the outset. Although visually distinct\, there is an attitude and approach in these paintings towards colour\, light\, scale and line that carries through later series. \nBelonging to the Spiegelbilder are some of Oehlen’s first self-portraits\, a primary example of which will also be exhibited. \nMany of the works in the series depict domestic interiors and politically-charged exteriors in a palette of muted colours. With titles alluding to Germany’s past and the incorporation of social and political spaces such as museums\, staircases and brick walls as barrier motifs\, Oehlen demonstrates his ability to turn controversy into cliché. \nOutsmarting painted pictorial reality with actual mirrored reality\, the Spiegelbilder redefine the limits of the medium\, drawing us in physically through their reflective qualities. Ambiguous in their presentation of socio-political spaces\, the works provide early insight into Albert Oehlen’s idiosyncratic approach to painting through an ever-evolving style and technique. \nA second presentation of further works from the Spiegelbilder series will be exhibited at Nahmad Contemporary\, New York from 5 November – 21 December 2019. Albert Oehlen (*1954\, Krefeld) lives and works in Switzerland. His first solo exhibition at Galerie Max Hetzler was in 1981 and he has had 25 solo shows at the gallery since. \nOehlen’s work has been shown in numerous solo exhibitions in international institutions\, including Palazzo Grassi\, Venice (2018); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes\, Havana (2017); Cleveland Museum of Art and Guggenheim\, Bilbao (both 2016); New Museum\, New York and Kunsthalle Zürich (both 2015); Museum Wiesbaden (2014); mumok\, Vienna (2013); Kunstmuseum Bonn (2012); Carré d’Art de Nîmes (2011); Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2009); Whitechapel Gallery\, London (2006); MOCA\, Miami; Kunsthalle Nürnberg (both 2005); Musée Cantonal des Beaux Arts\, Lausanne; Domus Artium 2002\, Salamanca and Secession\, Vienna (all 2004)\, among others. \nPaintings by Albert Oehlen are held in the permanent public collections of prominent international museums including Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris; Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Kunstmuseum Bonn; Museum für Moderne Kunst\, Frankfurt; Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean\, Luxembourg; Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig\, Vienna; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art\, New York; The Art Institute of Chicago; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; The Broad\, Los Angeles and Tate Gallery\, London. \nA major show of Oehlen’s work opens at the Serpentine Gallery\, London on 2 October 2019 and runs until 12 January 2020. \nAn exhibition catalogue will be produced on the occasion of the exhibitions Albert Oehlen: Spiegelbilder at Galerie Max Hetzler\, London and Nahmad Contemporary\, New York.

SUMMARY:Guided tour - Dean Hughes solo show
DESCRIPTION:For his third solo-show at the gallery\, Dean Hughes presents works from 1996 until present days. \nSpecialised with the ordinary and the unassuming\, Hughes engages with the banality of everyday items by replacing their primary function with new meanings\, bearing witness to the artist’s own history. \nDean Hughes employs commonplace articles -bus tickets\, gum strip\, ruled paper\, puddles -to symbolise small transactions with the material world. With a subtle cynicism to Duchamp’s ready-made\, Hughes’ daily rituals of alteration and relocation epitomize the pointless gesture of the artist\, removing any trace of authorial intention. In the exhibition\, Hughes presents new works\, as part of a series that began in 2018 made by printing coffee rings from the base (or what is called the foot of coffee cups) onto paper. \nThe artist sees this process as comparable and similar in intent to the process of making potato prints as a child. The process has its origins in a chance crescent residue shape made by placing a coffee cup on a blank sheet of paper. \nHughes is interested in these small occurrences\, which can be extended over time through repetition and process-a method of dwelling within the commonplace. Dean Hughes (b.1974 Manchester\, UK) studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design\, London between 1993-96. \nSolo exhibitions have included Laure Genillard Gallery\, Gian Carla Zanutti Gallery\, Milan\, Jack Hanley Gallery\, San Francisco\, Dick Smith Gallery\, London and group exhibitions have included British Art Show 5\, Big Minis at CAPC Bordeaux; Lonely at the Top\, MUHKA Antwerp\, and Newspeak: British Art now\, Saatchi Gallery. He is Professor and Head of the Department of Arts\, Northumbria University. \n************** \nThe tour will be conducted by assistant gallery director ‘Linda Rocco’. Linda is a London-based Contemporary Art Curator\, writer and programmer with a background in contemporary dance and theatre. \nShe graduated from a two-year MA at the Royal College of Art with a dissertation on the meanings of ‘Presence and its Extensions’. \nHer interests spread across the presentation\, mediation and preservation of live and ephemeral practices; the sociology of the artist in today’s hyperconnected societies and audiences’ dynamics within institutionalized and public contexts.

SUMMARY:Guided Tour - 'A Secret Beauty' - The Spirit of Japanese Maki-e
DESCRIPTION:A Secret Beauty: The Spirit of Japanese Maki-e An exhibition of the Lacquer Work of Koyanagi Tanekuni. \nLacquer has been used in Japan for almost 10\,000 years to protect and decorate objects\, such as wood\, bamboo\, earthenware\, and textiles. As a decorative medium\, lacquer has had a high status in Japan. \nThe lacquerware decorated in gold and silver particles known as ‘Maki-e’\, which was first introduced in the 8th century\, is a culmination of Japanese aesthetic sensibility and purity. \nThe value and prestige of lacquerware is shown by the status of its patrons\, which included emperors\, nobilities\, shoguns and daimyos. Guest curator Dr Arichi will take us on a tour of the exhibition and provide insight into the significance of lacquer in Japan\, the artist’s life and the pieces on display. \nDr Arichi is an expert in the History of Japanese Art\, a Senior Teaching Fellow at SOAS\, and is also an accredited lecturer of The Arts Society. \n******************************************** \nThe meeting point is inside the gallery foyer from 14.45 to 14.55. ‘Different Planet’ signs will be clearly visible at our point of congregation. Numbers are limited to 25 people. Attendance is free. Kindly RSVP to confirm your place. Looking forward to meeting members on the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
