Catfish
at Anat Ebgi Gallery
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Sep 11, 2015 - Oct 24, 2015
Anat Ebgi Gallery is pleased to present Catfish, a group show featuring Petra Cortright, Kate Steciw, Letha Wilson and Margo Wolowiec. Composed of digital paintings, collages and sculptures, the four artists utilize varying kinds of mutable imagery–drawn from stock photography websites, social media and landscapes–as a representational vocabulary that intersects with physical presence. Taking its name from the internet slang “catfish”, or a person who takes on a false identity in social media, the show concerns the assemblage and dissemination of banal visual content through arbitrary and abstracted methods. read more...
Jessica Stockholder: Rose's Inclination
at Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago
Hyde Park - Chicago, IL, USA
Sep 12, 2015 - Jul 02, 2017
In a site-specific Threshold series installation, Jessica Stockholder intersects the Smart’s lobby with a wave of color and texture that climbs to the clerestory, cuts across the floor, and travels outwards into the Museum’s sculpture garden and beyond. Rose’s Inclination makes use of ordinary materials—lamps, paint, Plexiglas, carpet, and garden mulch—to “reach up and out,” altering the physical experience of the Smart Museum’s modernist architecture and landscaped courtyard. read more...
Sinta Tantra: Fantastic/Chromatic
at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Ltd.
London, UK
Sep 11, 2015 - Oct 10, 2015
Dapples of pink light pool around your feet, sliding across your face, your body, the walls. You are immersed in a pink fandango, the colour rippling across walls covered in bold geometric shapes and sharply contrasting tones. Caught between these two layers – sandwiched between pink glass and blue wall – the viewer becomes an accomplice in a theatre of colour and light. The effect is like a stage, the front façade deconstructed into a complex set of interior layers and sets. read more...

Ryan Gander: Make every show like it’s your last
at CAG Contemporary Art Gallery
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Sep 11, 2015 - Nov 01, 2015
The CAG presents an ambitious exhibition with UK artist Ryan Gander comprising a shifting selection of new and recent works centered on the artist’s ongoing conceptual investigations and playful cultural cross references. Ideas of concealment, accessibility in every sense, and of a deliberate obfuscation to send our minds challenged and reeling, has been a constant ploy for Gander.

For Human Traffic, Rina Banerjee has specifically produced a series of artworks (sculptures, wooden panels, large format drawings) illustrating her reflections on the theme of movement, which she interprets in a positive (journeys that generate a great cultural diversity and richness) as well as a more abrupt way, with the forced physical circulation of bodies due to war, terrorism and poverty, thereby implicating migrations of every kind. read more...
