<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am curating a group show, Merge Visible, for Contemporary British Painting. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">Merge Visible brings together a group of British painters who layer multiple visual elements or processes, enabling the experience of seeing numerous fragments of information simultaneously in one assimilated painted image. The artists in Merge Visible each bring traditional painterly tropes into dialogue with experiences of reading space, </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">material and subject in the digital world. The paintings are non-representational, removing distinctions of background and foreground in favour of an abstract flattening of space, a negotiation of complex planar relationships and contrasting materials. Their working processes are characterised by bringing together numerous elements in each painting; texture and flatness, gesture and control, logic and intuition, to create a unique painterly vocabulary.</span></span><br />

<i>The Fold</i>, which I have curated at Blyth Gallery London for Saturation Point Projects, runs until 8th July 2016.<br />
<br />
Featuring work from Jane Bustin, Ben Cove, Deb Covell, Hanz Hancock, Tara Langford, Patrick Morrissey, Giulia Ricci and myself, <i>The Fold</i> explores the notion of folded space and the relationship between two and three dimensions in the illusionary surface of the art work.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e5665; line-height: 18px;">Opening on 11th March is Stoke, a three-person show in which I will be exhibiting alongside Phil King (who is also curating the show) and Pascal-Michel Dubois.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e5665; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e5665; line-height: 18px;">From the exhibition's press release:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e5665; line-height: 18px;">The problem of Art’s possession of a place’s protective spirit is an old quandary, maybe one that contemporary art has generally</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #4e5665; display: inline; line-height: 18px;"> worked hard to avoid, it's somewhat laughable when someone talks of genius these days. Landscape painters, commissioned by landowners to show off their classically manicured properties, initially worked to enslave the particular genius loci of such feudal land banks… to make it conform to the geometries of the classical state that it was supposed to inspire. And when artists started to wander romantically about, they maintained a desire to hunt such genius down, chasing it into wilder and wilder places, aiming to render its now fugitive nature in watercolour washes, in sketches and oils. Some tried to become it. If each place did once have an enchanting protective spirit, some particular genie security guard, it is one that has long been muzzled and locked, hapless, into art. Now, after years of habitual property speculation, unable to protect anywhere anymore, these pale inhibited spirits have no spirit left, they can no longer even trigger defensive superstitions… except perhaps in fantasy computer games. Art bound genii are regularly regurgitated at auctions, stashed ignored in museums, they gather dust on walls and in attics… coordinated perspectives and prospects lock any unique imagines in, ship them away in golden frames, organise them in iPhoto or worse. Artists squint hard whenever they sense any sign of genii in the vicinity… they sharpen their pencils, focus their cameras, reduce any magic to a mere impression of themselves for god like collectors to collect, keeping warning barks kennelled far away from the lost places of the world. Without genius, everybody and everything becomes a Stoke... unprotected and everywhere … Little, Bradley or Gifford - Bristol and its nibbled green belt has more than its fair share of Stokes. Everything and everybody now has to know its place.<br /><br />Stoke brings together aspects of the work of three, quite different, post-art artists in one place so as to look at and fuel this problem without being defined by it.<br /><br />Pascal-Michel Dubois sees his work as an idle observation of life like a doodle… therefore, it is always in the making, constantly re-interpreting<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span> the fabric of reality. For his METEOR series he tries to see the seasonal transformation of trees from a different angle, putting us under the tree looking upwards… in an impossible space.<br /><br />Charley Peters’ investigations are concerned with the spatial potential of the painted surface, explored through the construction of geometric configurations that map the pictorial relationship between two and three dimensions … her paintings use subtle variations in colour, tone and scale to construct illusionary light and structural depth. They often exhibit properties that present as disorientating or other-worldly, but are perhaps also familiar through our experiences of the 3D environments of computer games or digitally-gener<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>ated terrains.<br /><br />Gathering new and old paintings local Phil King unpacks and deals them in different sets. Not subject to a given identity they demand a different approach than one based on the identification of an a-priori common sense. For ‘Stoke’ however he has chosen to present an array of landscape paintings - inviting us to wander through manifold implications, past and future.<br /><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My article on Agnes Martin at Tate Modern is now online on AbCrit, an excerpt is below:</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Agnes Martin said that inspiration found her and that she could take no credit for it, she just emptied her head – especially of thoughts of herself – and inspiration would come into her ‘vacant mind’. She maintained that her personality and experiences were irrelevant to her work, a belief that has commonly been reinforced by the few people allowed to witness her sitting for hours, waiting for inspiration to appear in the guise of a minute but fully formed mental image. Martin’s gallerist (and eventual friend) Arne Glimcher wrote, “…she was extremely self-effacing and separated her persona from her art. She believed that she was the locus where her art happened, rather than its creator.” Yet critics and curators seem less easily satisfied: who <span class="s1"><i>was</i></span> the reclusive Agnes Martin, and from where did her ‘inspired’ paintings develop? </span></div>
