Tuesday 7th November: EVERYTHING AT ONCE

This year The Lisson Gallery have joined forces with The Vinyl Factory to hold an off-site mega-show at the ginormous location of the Store Studios, 180 The Strand.  It's so massive, I have been twice and still only have these few images to show for it!  But the most important piece for me is Arthur Jafa’s incredible film "Love Is The Message, The Message Is Death".  For this alone I recommend you go!   Here are a few of my other highlights:

Top to bottom:  

1) "At the Edge of the World II" by Anish Kapoor

2) "Highsummer, 2017 Prussian Blue, 2017 May Day, 2017 Bertacca, 2017" by Stanley Whitney - Examples of jazz and African music are often cited by Whitney as sources for his polyrhythmic, near-synaesthetic paintings

3) "A Chamber for Horwitz" multi-coloured, sonic score by Haroon Mirza

4) "Solar Catastrophe" by Allora & Calzadilla, made from discarded polycrystalline solar panel cells to absorb and reflect light, changing colour depending on atmospheric conditions.

Sunday: Daniel Buren: PILE UP: High Reliefs. Situated Works at Lisson Gallery

Daniel Buren's "PILE UP: High Reliefs. Situated Works" at Lisson Gallery coincides with the installation commissioned by  TFL at Tottenham Court Road which is the most cosmic thing to encounter when you're coming up the escalator!  I absolutely LOVE Daniel Buren's aesthetic with his signature vertical stripes and block colours, so this show was a dream.  The sculptures of powder-coated aluminium triangular prisms and mirrors distort the gallery's walls in a new site-specific configuration for the Lisson Gallery, where he has been exhibiting since the 1970's!
