Paintings by #SamuelLeviJones (@slevijones) are currently on view in the exhibition "Between the Seams" curated by @LarryOsseiMensah and @PaulAnthonySmithStudio at @pm______am, London, UK through October 31, 2023. ⁠ ⁠ "Between The Seams" expands the concept of ‘interstices’ beyond its basic definition as an intervening space. Ossei-Mensah and Smith endeavor to utilize the idea of interstices or the in-between spaces as a forum to interrogate notions of hybridity, memory, migration, colonialism, culture, identity, personal narratives and the seen and unseen.⁠ ⁠ Jones’s practice centers on physically undoing objects associated with systems of power and control, often rearranging deconstructed books into grid-like compositions that expose their flaws and question their assumed command of the truth. As he explains, “I am ultimately thinking about information that is selectively left out.” ⁠ ⁠ Slide 1: Installation view: Between the Seams at PM/AM, 2023. ⁠ Slide 2: Samuel Levi Jones, Snap Judgment, 2023.⁠ Slide 3: Samuel Levi Jones, Stratification, 2022.⁠ Installation photography by Ollie Hammick: @olliehammick⁠ Images courtesy of PM/AM and the artist. @pm______am

Today is the final day of @FriezeOfficial London 2023! On view at our Booth B2: Leonardo Drew's "Number 377" (2023).⁠ ⁠ For over three decades, Drew has become known for creating contemplative abstract sculptural works that play upon a tension between order and chaos. Drew transforms accumulations of raw materials such as wood, scrap metal, and cotton to articulate various overlapping themes with emotional gravitas: from the cyclical nature of life and decay to the erosion of time.⁠ ⁠ 🔗Follow the link in bio to preview this and other works on view. ⁠ ⁠ #LeonardoDrew (@leonardodrewstudio)⁠ Number 377, 2023⁠ Wood, plaster, cotton, and paint⁠ 73 x 73 x 12 in (185.4 x 185.4 x 30.5 cm)

Only two days remain of @FriezeOfficial London 2023! Pictured here are works by #FicreGhebreyesus, #SamuelLeviJones, and #TarikuShiferaw on view at our Booth A2.⁠ ⁠ @FicreGhebreyesus's painting "Untitled with Sea Urchin" (c. 2002) suggests the non-linear form of dreams, memories, and storytelling. "Premonition" (2023), a new painting by Samuel Levi Jones (@slevijones) is composed of deconstructed and pulped law books and bound newspaper covers on canvas, highlighting the artist's practice of deconstructing and reinterpreting source materials to critique authoritative systems. Tariku Shiferaw's (@abstractexit) painting "Sacred Landscape" (2023) is part of his ongoing series "Mata Semay," which proposes a new mythology that imagines how the night sky would exist if diasporic cultural contributions were considered in the global consciousness.⁠ ⁠ 🔗Follow the link in bio to preview these and other works on view.

Opening tonight at 6pm at Galerie Lelong & Co., Paris: "Longing," a solo exhibition by Samuel Levi Jones.⁠ ⁠ 📍Galerie Lelong & Co., Paris⁠ 38 avenue Matignon, Paris⁠ ⁠ Featuring works made from pulped and deconstructed materials that hold an institutional history, including law and history books, encyclopedias, print portfolios, and US flags, the exhibition highlights Jones’s practice of transformation through abstraction. Jones’s use of pulped US flags in the painting "god and country" (2023) prompts an inquiry into the varied histories they represent as patriotic symbols, while the use of deconstructed print portfolios—sourced from the gallery’s own archive—in a selection of new works creates space for a critique of the practices that created the exclusive Western canon of Art History. ⁠ ⁠ "Samuel Levi Jones: Longing" will remain on view through November 18, 2023. ⁠ ⁠ Installation view: Samuel Levi Jones: Longing, Galerie Lelong & Co., Paris, 2023. ⁠ ⁠ @slevijones @galerielelongparis #samuellevijones

Tomorrow evening, October 13 at 6pm CEST, #KrzysztofWodiczko will present a new temporary installation, "Freedom: Above-Ground Dialogue" in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of ŁAŹNIA Centre for Contemporary Art, Gdańsk, Poland. ⁠ ⁠ 📆Krzysztof Wodiczko, "Freedom: Above-Ground Dialogue" ⁠ Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre, Gdańsk, Poland⁠ Friday, October 13, 6pm CEST⁠ ⁠ The multimedia project dedicated to the residents of the city of Gdańsk will take the form of a dialogue on the various dimensions of freedom. For months, @Krzysztof_Wodiczko has been talking to the participants of the project with the support of Dr. Monika Popow, a social researcher working in the field of socio-economic development and culture. The results of their work, recorded as a video, will be projected onto giant helium-filled balloons hovering above the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre, creating a poignant aerial performance. ⁠ ⁠ The project demonstrates the artist's extraordinary gift for working with local themes, which, through his interventions, start having a universal impact that transcends national boundaries and gives voice to the socially excluded, marginalised, persecuted, and disadvantaged.⁠ ⁠ 🔗Follow the link in bio for more information.

Now on view: "Voices of Memory," a new permanent installation by @Krzysztof_Wodiczko at the Hall of Remembrance at the Warsaw Insurgents Cemetery, Poland, a symbolic site dedicated to the victims of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising and a place for reflection upon the consequences of violence, radicalisms and armed conflicts.⁠ ⁠ The audio-visual installation aims to express opposition to all armed conflicts. It is inspired by and based on the accounts of wartime experiences related to the Warsaw Uprising. Reminiscences of over a dozen people—civilians as well as insurgents and members of their families of younger generations—reveal a complex, multidimensional tale of the year 1944. In conversation with Wodiczko, they talk about finding themselves in boundary situations and about the impact it exerted on their life. The witness testimonies are accompanied by the images of flames, propelled by the sound of human voice. "Voices of Memory" is a work which keeps the memory of the Warsaw Uprising alive. ⁠ ⁠ #KrzysztofWodiczko is an internationally renowned artist known for large-scale projections on monuments and institutional facades that explore the relationships between communities, history, and public space. The artist has dealt extensively with trauma and healing in his projections, honoring people’s stories of pain, loss, and perseverance.⁠ ⁠ 📸Installation view: Voices of Memory (2023), Hall of Remembrance, Warsaw Insurgents Cemetery, Poland.

"I’m questioning myself and my process. You think you have it figured out, or you think you know what it is, but really you have this ability to question that. It’s in the same way that I look outside of myself and see things—whether it be law enforcement or the judicial system and how it can be reimagined." ⁠ -Samuel Levi Jones⁠ ⁠ Ahead of his upcoming solo exhibition at @GalerieLelongParis, opening October 13, artist #SamuelLeviJones (@slevijones) spoke with @whitewall.art about his practice of deconstructing source materials, his recent exhibition at Galerie Lelong & Co., New York, and future projects in the public sphere. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗Follow the link in bio read the full interview.

"Forgive Them Father (Ms Lauryn Hill)" (2020) by Tariku Shiferaw is currently on view at the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, University of Maryland, Baltimore County in the exhibition "States of Becoming."⁠ ⁠ Curated by @Fitsum_Shebeshe and organized by Independent Curators International (@curatorsintl), the exhibition examines the dynamic forces of relocation, resettling, and assimilation that shape the artistic practices of a group of contemporary African artists working in the United States and informs the discourse on identity construction within an African Diaspora.⁠ ⁠ #TarikuShiferaw (@abstractexit)⁠ Forgive Them Father (Ms Lauryn Hill), 2020⁠ Acrylic on canvas⁠ 79 x 35 x 16 in (200.7 x 88.9 x 40.6 cm)

Final Weeks: Leonardo Drew at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (@yspsculpture), West Bretton, UK, on view through October 29, 2023!⁠ ⁠ The exhibition features a new work, "Number 360" (2023), commissioned for YSP’s 18th-century Chapel. "Number 360" is a powerful reflection on the weight of collective experience, memory, and the cycles of life and death, decay and regeneration. This resonates within a historic building where many lives have been played out for centuries – unknown to us, yet somehow conveyed by the atmosphere of the space.⁠ ⁠ Image: Leonardo Drew, Number 360, installation view at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, 2023.

In a selection of works from his series "One of These Black Boys," Tariku Shiferaw covers the canvas with mixed media including acrylic and iridescent film before shrouding them with layers of poly-chiffon. The layers of fabric fluctuate in opacity as the angle from which the work is viewed changes, centering the engagement of the viewer and prompting an inquiry into who is granted visibility in cultural spaces. ⁠ ⁠ As with all of the paintings in the "One of These Black Boys" series, these works are titled after songs from musical genres by artists of the African diaspora such as Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae, Afrobeats, Blues, and Jazz, infusing the works with the cultural histories that these references carry.⁠ ⁠ These works are currently on view at the gallery in Shiferaw's solo exhibition "Marking Oneself in Dark Places" through October 21, 2023. ⁠ ⁠ From left to right: "I Faram Gami I Faram (Mulatu Astatke)" (2023); "No Agreement (Fela Kuti)" (2020); "Superstar (Ms. Lauryn Hill)" (2023); "Zamina Mina - Zangaléwa (Golden Sounds)" (2021).⁠ ⁠ @abstractexit #TarikuShiferaw #Shiferaw
