Exhibition Text – Rebecca Ackroyd ‘Carburettor’ at Kinman Gallery 4/9/14
These new works by Rebecca Ackroyd are tense. Bruised and intestinal ceramics rest on top of resistantly-nostalgic resin casts of a car seat from the artist’s childhood; then on the walls, orthopedic steel-rebar interjects liquidly-impervious silk and gluey resins; it’s

Antiknow – Jakob Jakobsen – Flat Time House, London; Review
(Draft): Antiknow – Exclusive and elusive In 1968, John Latham (who’s house-archive makes up Flat Time House) proposed a “probably unrealized[1]” course for the AntiUniveristy in Shoredtich East London called Antiknow: To have respect for observation is fine and unexceptional.

The Onsie Cycle – Benedict Drew – 2Queens/The Phoenix, Leicester; Review
Let’s face it, contemporary reality is much more the feeling of fully enclosed terry cloth and cheap-24hr meat products (processed food), than it is the slick dreams of digital high definition. In a continuation (or as Drew calls it, a

So I Thought I’d Join the 21st Century & Get In On The Act – Tom Huett – Carlos Ishikawa, London: Review
Narrative. Seemingly everywhere in 2013. When Frieze Magazine recently asked how – in light of technological advances in presentation platforms – narrative structures will change, Ian Cheng described an “intuitive technology for normalising change, for coherring the experience of reality

Laure Prouvost – MOT International, London – 2012 – Review
