“Her work resounds with a poetic sensibility that defies categorisation, but with a focus on the nature of perception and sound. Adopting pseudo-scientific strategies and anthropological methods of recording to analyse the ‘nature’ of things, she investigates time, distance and communication....” (McKinley)

The Shape We’re In (Camden)
29 January – 14 March 2011

Dan Attoe
Tracey Emin
Jack Strange

The Zabludowicz Collection is delighted to present The Shape We’re In, a series of three exhibitions focussing on recent sculpture and installation by 22 emerging and established contemporary artists, including some of the most original artists making work today. Ten artists have been commissioned by the Zabludowicz Collection to make new works for The Shape We’re In, taking into account the unusual structure and unique opportunities offered by this tripartite transatlantic exhibition.

The Shape We’re In brings together over 100 sculptural works made over the past five years, many of which express a strong spirit of socio-political critique. The exhibition takes on a manifold structure, occupying various sites across two major art world hub cities. It reclaims spaces which have been left vacant by the recent economic downturn, such as vacant shops in Camden, London and an empty floor in a New York skyscraper. The exhibition’s title also plays on a commonplace attitude of self-conscious analysis and improvement inherited from the self-help movement, picked up on by many of the works which reference the media and popular culture.

Taking place across three idiosyncratic locations: the former Methodist chapel at 176 Prince of Wales Road, London, home to the Zabludowicz Collection; a number of vacant shops in the London Borough of Camden; and the 33rd floor of a skyscraper on New York’s Times Square, The Shape We’re In encourages the public to engage with works in new and informal ways. The three shows also emphasise the Collection’s ongoing dedication to context-specificity. Each will engage with local contexts and communities, responding to each exhibition site through a tailored programme of public events.

Several artists are included in more than one iteration of the The Shape We’re In: Jack Strange’s painterly installation, Special Effects, a work which involves the direct application of the artist’s blood onto shopfront windows, will feature in a vacant shop in Camden and at 176 Prince of Wales Road, while Ethan Breckenridge and Sean Dack will exhibit two versions of the same sculptural installation in London and New York.

The Shape We’re In (London) will feature new work by emerging artists including Rachael Champion, Samantha Donnelly, Peggy Franck, George Young and Jack Strange, alongside existing works from the Collection. These artists have been invited to realise new installations during a short residency of one month leading up to the exhibition. By facilitating this kind of open-ended process, the Zabludowicz Collection encourages emerging artists to develop their practice for public exhibition. The Shape We’re In (London) includes work by Martin Boyce, Ethan Breckenridge and Sean Dack, Rachael Champion, Matthew Darbyshire, Matthew Day Jackson, Nicolas Deshayes, Samantha Donnelly, Sean Edwards, Peggy Franck, Ryan Gander, Fergal Stapleton, Haim Steinbach, Jack Strange, Gary Webb, Nicole Wermers, Franz West and George Young.

The Shape We’re In (Camden) presents Jacks Strange’s blood installation and neon sculptures by Dan Attoe and Tracey Emin in vacant shops around the local area. A Camden Council-led initiative currently encourages the occupation of unused properties in the borough, to act as a revitalising presence in economically depressed areas of the city. These works can be seen between 10am and 10pm daily, and to particularly striking effect in the evening.

The Shape We’re In (New York) features five artists who use sculptural practice to examine social interactions within man-made environments. Each artist has been invited to respond to a vacant space on the 33rd floor of 1500 Broadway, at the ‘picture postcard’ heart of New York City. Artists Sarah Braman and Nick van Woert will present new work alongside some of their existing work from the Zabludowicz Collection. Ethan Breckenridge and Sean Dack will exhibit a version of a work first seen at The Suburban in Illinois: a sculptural and audio installation which includes the visitor as an active participant, a version of which will also be installed in London. The Shape We're In (New York) includes work by Sarah Braman, Ethan Breckenridge, Sean Dack, Matthew Darbyshire and Nick van Woert.

The various context-specific manifestations of The Shape We’re Indemonstrate the Zabludowicz Collection’s international vision and its commitment to supporting younger artists through new commissions as well as presenting them in relation to works by more established contemporary artists.

The Shape We’re In is curated by Elizabeth Neilson and Ellen Mara De Wachter. It is accompanied by a publication with contributions from 25 writers, and designed by Sarah Boris. Limited edition artworks by artists in the show including Ethan Breckenridge, Sean Dack, Jack Strange and Nicole Wermers are available from the Zabludowicz Collection and online shop.

'...a multitude of soap bubbles which explode from time to time...': Pino Pascali's final works 1967-1968

04 March 2011 - 01 May 2011
This exhibition, the first dedicated to Pino Pascali in the UK, focuses on works from 1967 and 1968, the years in which Pascali became associated with Arte Povera, the radical trend in Italian art where everyday materials were used in resonant combinations and in which events in art and life appeared to converge.

The core of the exhibition is a series of works from Pascali’s one-person presentation at the XXXIV Venice Biennale in 1968. The show closed when the artist withdrew his work in response to student protests and the actions of the police. He died later the same year after a motorcycle accident, aged 32.

Using materials such as steel wool, coloured fun fur, feathers and straw, Pascali created visually exciting and texturally appealing sculptures, demonstrating his complexity as a maker. His creations propose a playfully serious reconstruction of the universe. In this exhibition is a hairy mushroom, a giant spider covered in blue fun fur, large-scale coloured acrylic brushworms and a shield pierced by eagles’ quills.

Contradictory notions of reality and artificiality come together in his use of synthetic materials and the prime natural elements of water and earth. Pascali also used the direct expression of his own body through performance and by manipulating the forms of his sculptures to set-up dialogues with the audience.

Pascali believed in tapping the alternative realities of myth, memory and the imagination expressed in play. He sought never to repeat the same work and thought that art should be superseded by new forms and ideas in the manner of a snake shedding skins. Although over 40 years old, this work and its restless energy are fertile ground for thought and imagination today.

SKMP2 (1968), a film by artist Luca Maria Patella and featuring a number of individuals associated with Arte Povera including Jannis Kounellis and Pino Pascali, will be shown in the reading room.
The exhibition has been initiated and selected by Martin Holman and is supported by The Henry Moore Foundation and the Pino Pascali Exhibition Supporters Group.

In 2008, photographer Adam Patterson began documenting gang culture in South London. In his aim to challenge the menacing, macho picture of gangs showcased in the media, Patterson spent over a year with gang members, capturing the vulnerability and humanity that the general public rarely see. Another Lost Child brings together this work with a new series portraying ex-gang member Jean Claude Dagrou, who has since relocated to Doncaster to live with is girlfriend. The exhibition also includes some of Dagrou’s own photographs and writing, capturing his transition to a new and different life.

Adam completed an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at London College of Communication in 2008. His work has been exhibited at the Noorderlicht Photofestival 2009, the Royal Photographic Society and Foto8’s Summershow 2010, as well as being published in newspapers and magazines such as The Sunday Times, The Independent and Vice.

Previous Sculpture student work

Hi all

You might be interested to see what you might be doing just a year down the line.
Robert was a Sculpture student from last year, and is on the first year of a Pg Dip at Byam Shaw. He was a mature student, having already been in advertising for 10 years, which is why he was able to skip BA and do a higher level of study. He was in the V and A show earlier this year, and it looks to me as if he is doing some really interesting stuff. He's also included in the work section much of what he did on Foundation, including final show work, and his Obstructions piece.
