The Grand Plasto-Baader-Books 2-24 December 2009

**Private View: Tuesday 1st December, 6-9pm** The exhibition will bring to life ‘the aftermath of an accident between a trolley car and a newspaper kiosk’, recalling Maud Lavin’s description of Johannes Baader’s original exhibition Das Grosse Plasto-Dio-Dada-Drama.

Drawing inspiration from Baader’s original architectural feat, fifty pieces have been selected for their originality and conceptual response to the traditional book form.

 KALEID curator Deeqa Ismail challenges the viewer to consider not what a book is but what a book can be. Reaching out to an international network of artists, exhibition highlights include:

Samantha Huang ’s deformation of the found book is a rejection of the literal reading. Neglected by past owners, the book is conscientiously destroyed in order to disseminate its physical potential back into the public domain. (as pictured)

 Liz Jackson ’s minimalist interventions draw attention to the physicality of the paper. Her demarcation of the edges transforms the book into a sculptural form, opening it to new ways of reading whilst hiding the true content of its pages.

Finlay Taylor ’s buried, decomposed and subsequently exhumed books that are transformed into unique pieces by worms and mollusks whose digestive journey offers a personal account of subterranean history.

With his Dictionary Story, Sam Winston seeks to transcend the visual limit of language. His wild transformation of words into abstract form creates a style that pushes the boundaries of typography and the letterpress.

 Pete Williams ’ 12ft Tower, made from rescued scrap wood and woodcuts, has been assembled in defiance of the material’s destruction. The installation as a focal point in the gallery, offers its ledges, nooks and crannies for the imminent arrival of fifty unique books.

Thursday 19th November, 7.30pm at the Wishing Well (79 Choumert Road, just down the road from Flat Time House, on the corner of Bellenden Road and Choumert Road)

The event is free but please RSVP as space is limited - info@flattimeho.org.uk or call us on 020 7207 4845.

Time and the Score is the final event at Flat Time House this year and is programmed in response to John Latham's metaphor of the cosmos as an atemporal omnipresent score, the source of all recurrent action. He used an analogy of a musical score to describe his theory of eventstructure and the universe. The score is always there, as it sits unobserved in a drawer or between the pages of a book, but it only enters our awareness when it is activated as event during performances of it at different moments in time and space.

AND DON'T MISS THIS!!!!

You are also invited to see the current exhibition at Flat Time House from 6 - 7.30pm, before the screening starts at 7.30pm. The Present Moment/The Whole Event includes works on the time-base spectrum by Jose Arnaud-Bello, Juliette Blightman, Mariana Castillo Deball, John Latham, Carlyle Reedy, and Barbara Steveni.

Artists selected work in the linear and the decorative, the conceptual and the abstract to create works as an investigation into the symbolic and ceremonial cup termed the chalice or goblet.

The goblet is a poignant symbol of ceremony and also celebration, used for religious purposes, both sacred and blessed seen in such iconic paintings as Leonardo da Vinci 's 'The Last Supper,' denoting the event as well as the religious ceremony.

The goblet itself is spherical and imposing, embellished with jewels and inlayed with gold. This vessel has no handle, and over the years the base of the goblet grew as the vessel itself enlarged, becoming a dramatic symbol of the weight given to the ceremony or celebration. When pictured Roman banquets and medieval feasts come to mind. Drinking wine is the primary purpose of the design of the Goblet, either used for the Eucharist or administered by a leader at a ceremony.

The chalice has been referred to throughout the history of literature and art. Most notably by William Shakespeare, who references, the poisoned Chalice in Macbeth meant for infinite good but transformed into the ultimate bad.

//But in these cases We still have judgment here; that we but teach Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice To our own lips.//

Each artist will take an element of the goblet, from the decorative to the ceremonial and cerate new works in response. Through the different mediums and approaches, artists will produce installation, paintings, assemblages, drawings and sculptures to present a version of the goblet as a many facetted vessel.

The exhibition will be a ceremonial, and slightly irreverent, curated by Julia Alvarez at BEARSPACE.

. //**Cloud Choreography and Other Emergent Systems**// Don't miss the last chance to see Keith Tyson's stunning exhibition at Parasol unit, which closes on Wednesday 11 November 2009. Described by the Guardian as ' a succinct expression of our struggle to contain an anarchic universe', //Cloud Choreography and Other Emergent Systems// is a new exhibition by the winner of the 2002 Turner Prize, Keith Tyson, which brings together several groups of his works. Set up as an exploration of Tyson’s practice, rather than as a mid-career survey, the exhibition focuses on the systems and processes that inform the creation of his work.
 * Keith Tyson**
 * Exhibition ends 11 November 2009**

Tyson’s work can be seen as an ongoing investigation into the question of how and why things come into being. Many of them investigate the physical forms and systems found within the natural world; others examine the effects of mankind on the environment, and the ensuing man-made forms and systems. In other works, Tyson questions the creation of the artwork itself, positing it as something which can be randomly generated by systems, but simultaneously making us aware that these systems are generated by the artist. Influenced as much by astrophysics and mathematics, as by observation of and reflection on nature, Tyson’s work presents a unique combination of scientific data with poetic artistry. This urges us to consider the roots of creativity alongside its aesthetic beauty. The works operate on a number of levels: as examples of physical, mathematical or scientific data, or of processes or systems. The breakdown of sophisticated and simple processes and mathematical data into an artistic aesthetic is something which greatly interests Tyson, and in all his works there is a consideration of ‘beauty’ (whether be it natural or artificial).

The structure of the exhibition at Parasol unit broadly splits into two parts. The first part features works that focus on natural processes and systems, such as the //Nature Sculptures, Nature Paintings//, and a new series of works entitled //Cloud Choreography// paintings. In these series of works, we see a transition from observing the natural world in sculptural form, to attempts at recreating elements of it through chemical processes and rendered on large-scale aluminium sheets. The second part of the exhibition focuses more on mathematical, man-made and process-driven systems, and includes sculptures from the //Fractal Dice// series alongside paintings from a new series of work entitled //Operator Paintings//, which are shown as a series for the first time.

This exhibition at Parasol unit is accompanied by a new publication on Keith Tyson’s work.

Keith Tyson (born 1969 in Ulverston, Cumbria, UK) held his first solo show From the Art Machine at the Anthony Reynolds Gallery in 1996 and since then has exhibited extensively both in the UK and internationally. Solo exhibitions include: David Zwirner Gallery, New York, USA (1996); Galerie Vallois, Paris, France (1997); Anthony Reynolds Gallery, London (1997); Molecular Compound 4, Kleines Helmhaus, Zurich, Switzerland (1999); Delfina, London (1999); One of Each, Galerie Ursula Krinzinger, Vienna, Austria (2000); Studio Wall Drawings, Anthony Reynolds Gallery, London (2000); Supercollider, South London Gallery, London (2002); Kunsthalle Zurich, Switzerland (2002); Works for a Teleological Accelerator, Arndt and Partner, Berlin, Germany (2003); Collected Short Stories, Galerie Vallois, Paris, France (2003); The Terrible Weight of History, Galerie Judin, Zurich, Switzerland (2004); Geno Pheno I, Haunch of Venison, London (2004); Geno Pheno II, PaceWildenstein, New York, USA (2005); The Bates College Museum of Art, Maine, USA (2005); The Sum of All Possible Paths, Galerie Vallois, Paris, France (2006); Nature Paintings, Haunch of Venison, Zurich, Switzerland (2006); Large Field Array, Louisiana Museum, Humlebaek, Denmark (2006); Studio Wall Drawings 1997–2007, Haunch of Venison, London (2007); Nature Paintings, Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Carlisle, Cumbria (2008); Random Nature, Project B, Milan, Italy (2008).

In 2002, Tyson was awarded the Turner Prize for his show //Supercollider// at the South London Gallery.

His work is held in numerous collections worldwide, including the Arts Council Collection, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; Fondation François Pinault, Paris, France; The Henry Moore Institute, Leeds; The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, USA; The South London Gallery Collection, London; Tate Modern, London; The Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA.

LAUNCH Tuesday 3rd November 2009, 6-9pm http://www.kaleideditions.com **KALEID** is delighted to announce an exhibition of new work by artists NICK MORLEY and PETER RAPP. The artists will be exploring allegorical themes in two new artists’ books; the fabulous nature of Morley’s playful neo-morality laid against Rapp’s dark thrall to a contemporary Inquisition. NICK MORLEY The Lion and The Ox and The Boar and The Bear 4-28 November 2009 Together with original drawings and linocut prints, Nick Morley presents 'The Lion and The Ox and The Boar and The Bear', the first KALEID editions publication to be hand-printed in the project space itself. Exploring the many forms of mankind and man’s struggle to understand his place in the world, Morley appropriates images from mainstream media, paring down and reformalising these selections to offer new meanings, shifting perceived rules and guidelines. 'In The Lion and The Ox and The Boar and The Bear', Morley pushes his play with moral guidance further, creating work in response to Aesop’s lesser known fables. These fables, over time, have lost their intended lesson, used to advantage by Morley whose reworking goes so far as to alter the original animals and their prescribed activities. The imbricating layers of the fan-format piece when set in motion produce new word and image juxtapositions, or nonsense hybrids. PETER RAPP A Practical Guide to Intelligent Design 4-28 November 2009 The bedrock of Peter Rapp’s 'A Practical Guide to Intelligent Design' is the primary truth or original allegory, the 'Book of Genesis'. Delicate drawings are pressed against a backdrop of overlaid excerpts from the original text with Rapp’s figures appearing to embody the quintessential everyman. However, instead of the authorised moral journey from birth to death, something darker appears to be at play. His characters are morphed, ruptured, deformed and disfigured. Rapp offers them extra orifices, supplementary points for sensory connection in the form of distended mouths, ears, eyes and fleshy sockets but they remain isolated and uncommunicative, mired in a fog created by the layered text. Influenced by his own struggles with his Catholic upbringing, Rapp offers a personal perspective on the rift between the historic ideal and the lived reality of man’s isolation; an emotional and physical schism formed by the weight of guilt and conscience colliding with the disappointments of modern life.

Went to see this today near elephant and castle. I would recommend it to anyone. It was quite special to see.

This is work by Siobhan Davies Company and collaborators- the studio I work at...Even if this doesn't particularly interest you it might be worth watching the clip as there is a snippet of the film installation by Idris Khan and Sarah Warsop which places the body in a library...

also

this is the project I am dancing in in October. It should be fun! Come along!

Anyone interested in letterpress I noticed this coming up at the end of October at the St. Bride Library. []
