MCA DNA: Rafael Ferrer
at Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago
Chicago, IL, USA
Sep 19, 2015 - Mar 06, 2016
Puerto Rican–born artist Rafael Ferrer has worked in a broad range of forms since first emerging as a national and international figure in the late 1960s. During the heyday of avant-garde explorations in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ferrer (who studied with such well-known Surrealist figures as Wifredo Lam and André Breton) was one of the prime instigators of a movement now called process art, which focused on the process of creating rather than on the resulting object. His early installations, featuring ephemeral materials such as leaves, quickly evolved into installations that were more narrative in nature and that included evocative, handcrafted artifacts such as the corrugated steel Kayak #2: Norte (1973). read more...

The exhibition United States of Latin America brings together more than thirty emerging artists from Latin America, many of whom will be exhibiting in the United States for the first time. The show is based on an ongoing conversation between two curators, Jens Hoffmann and Pablo León de la Barra, who for a number of years have exchanged research and information about artists, artworks, and the overall development of the art world from Mexico to Argentina and the many countries in between. The exhibition is an extension of this dialogue into the galleries of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit via artworks suggested in dialogue format. read more...

Michael Stubbs: Fireeye Shift
at Laurent Delaye Gallery
London, UK
Sep 19, 2015 - Oct 25, 2015
Michael Stubbs’ paintings, which operate at the interface of abstraction and pop, are constructed by combining poured, abstract configurations of transparent varnishes and opaque household paints with ready-made graphic stencils. The repeated pouring, in conjunction with pop signs, form a physical process of sensual flat-on-flat layering that reveals multiple perspectives and optical depths. This layering is part of the fracturing process, the breaking up or ‘exploding’ of a recognisable image, a response, says Stubbs, to the ever expanding proliferation of broadcast and internet-based images that fill our world. read more...
Gailan Ngan and Derek Root
at Monte Clark Gallery, Vancouver
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Sep 19, 2015 - Oct 10, 2015
Monte Clark Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Gailan Ngan and Derek Root. Root’s new paintings depict seemingly random geometric forms that sit harmoniously together, tethered by their subtle texture and colour. His positioning of shapes on the canvas play with arrangements by balancing or even stacking, and the compositions allude to ideas and sensibilities beyond the limits of formal abstraction. Merging enigmatic and inventively unexpected elements of representation, Root’s thoughtful arrangements of forms suggest the liminal space between memory and reality. read more...

South Ho Siu Nam: good day good night
at Blindspot Gallery
Central - Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Sep 19, 2015 - Nov 14, 2015
“good day good night” features a series of black and white photographs and videos capturing scenes of the Occupy Movement, and unique works combining photography and painting on the same theme. Unlike the prevalent documentary approach taken by most photographers to record the events, Ho took an indirect approach filled with symbols and metaphors to representing his personal experiences and the surrounding presences. Scenes of clashes between the police and the protesters are replaced by objects discarded on the road like barricades, umbrellas, used water bottles and tents. read more...
