TANIA BRUGUERA’S TATLINS WHISPER #5
@ TATE MODERN TURBINE HALL
In Tania Bruguera’s Tatlins Whisper #5 two police officers use crowd control
techniques that are familiar to anyone who has attended a pop concert, football
match or political demonstration. The performance might include: closing off the
gallery entrance or entrances; manipulating the audience into a single group and
encircling it to tighten the group; frontal confrontation with the horse;
and breaking up the audience into two distinct groups.
FRI01JUL – SUN03JUL
AMALIA PICA’S STRANGERS @ TATE MODERN
10.00–18.00
Amalia Pica’s Strangers 2008 is performed by two people who have never
met before. They stand ten metres apart, connected by a single string of
brightly coloured paper bunting. The work dramatises the effort inherent
in communication between two strangers. At once linked together yet also
detached, they are positioned at a distance that allows for conversation whilst
also establishing separation. Strangers dramatises the simple interaction in
any communication between sender and receiver. A visual exploration of
language and communication, the work simultaneously underscores
our dependency on the material object. FRI01JUL

SUBVERT @ THE GALLERY ON THE CORNER
PV 18:00
An attempt to subvert the viewer’s perception. Nariscia Henriques’ work reflects her Afro-Caribbean culture through decorative
patterns; it’s bold with colour and heavily nature-influenced to draw you in.
She keeps hidden figures embedded within her paintings, with fragments of
hair as clues. Her bright and colourful approach brings light to a
positive & powerful presence of people of colour.
Hamed Maiye’s work focuses on creating a connection with the viewer.The
expressive nature of his pieces emulate his past influences of artists.The heavy
presence of the female figure challenges the viewers’ perception of beauty;
what is the ideal body type? A journey of self-acceptance and breaking
conventions expressed through different mediums.
SAT02JUL
BHUPEN KHAKHAR: TRUTH IS BEAUTY @ TATE MODERN
F​ rom the beginning of his artistic career, Bhupen Khakhar expressed a
commitment to presenting the world as he saw it and experienced it. Often
celebrated for his bold and honest approach to his life as a gay man in India
during the late twentieth century, he stated in the catalogue to his 1972
exhibition at Gallery Chemould, Bombay that he wanted to reach beauty
by truth alone. This event takes its name after the same exhibition
and self-written catalogue, Truth Is Beauty and Beauty Is God.
Bringing together three speakers who offer a unique insight into a specific period
of the artist’s career, this panel discussion aims to introduce and situate the
artist’s practice and life within his particular contexts. Themes explored include
Khakhar’s use of the biography, iconography, the visual language of the street, and
more broadly his personal experiences in and of modern India. Speakers include
Geeta Kapur, Sonal Khullar and Karin Zitzewitz, and is chaired by Chris Dercon.

ART NIGHT: TWO TEMPLE PLACE: ALEXANDRA BACHZETSIS:
PRIVATE: WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU TALK TO ME @ ICA
Performances are at 7pm and 10pm, with a running time of 60 minutes.
Alexandra Bachzetsis will present a new performance PRIVATE:Wear a mask when
you talk to me (2016) and Gold (2004) in the rooms of Two Temple Place, a highly
ornate building designed by one of the foremost neo-Gothic architects
of the late nineteenth-century, John Loughborough Pearson.
Bachzetsis’s solo work PRIVATE:Wear a mask when you talk to me, combines
everyday gendered behaviours—including postures, bodily gestures, rituals and
fashion—with languages of movement and music, such as Oriental drag queen
dances, gym, yoga exercises, iconic Michael Jackson moves and choreography by
Trisha Brown, a pioneer of contemporary dance. Bachzetsis morphs fluidly from
one character into another, inhabiting their movement, posture and gesture,
to playfully deconstruct how sexual identity and gender manifests in
every day human behaviors and visual culture.
SAT02JUL
MISS REVOLUTIONARY IDOL BERSERKER @ THE BARBICAN
18:30, 21:30 (£18)
Part pop concert, part controlled chaos, orchestrated by a rigorous director –
this is Japanese subculture conveyed in all its multi-coloured,
cacophonous, frenetic glory.
You’ll be equipped with rain poncho and ear guards but you’ll still be surprised
by what is thrown at you, as twenty-five actors storm the stage. Confronting you
at breakneck speed, they bombard the senses with a precisely choreographed
medley of dance, music, bellowed slogans and video clips. Founded by Tokyobased artist Toco Nikaido, Miss Revolutionary Idol Berserker pays homage to
otagei – geeky dance routines performed by superfans to their Japanese pop
idols. Kitted out in rainbow-hued costumes and armed with an abundance of
disposable props, her riotous company breaks down the barriers between
cast and audience as it hurtles towards a festival-like finale that
invites everyone to take part.

LANA LOCKE @ DOLFH
PV 18:00 – 21:00
Talk/Performance: Wednesday 13 July, 7pm. Lana Locke works with found objects, cast metal, wax and clay, expanding
towards installation- based work that carries the visual language of her sculpture
into internal and external environments, involving and temporarily altering the
space through their entanglement with it. Objects are abstracted and made
strange through visibly fragile compositions, referencing the body, waste and
decay. For her DOLPH exhibition, Locke plans to explore how two competing
influences have crossed over in her recent work: firstly her formal practice-based
PhD research into The Feral, the Art Object and Agonistic Struggle; and secondly
the personal research, material and matter generated and received in relation to
her recent pregnancy, childbirth and first months of motherhood,
as navigated in and out of the studio.

THE WALKING READING GROUP: ON COMMONS @ [SPACE]
Also on 13, 20 July
18:00 – 21:00
The Walking Reading Group (TWRG) on Commons offers a chance to discuss
the many perspectives related to this complex theory while walking a contextual
and predetermined route starting in Hackney. The selected texts for each walk
provide shared references to delve into separate areas of discourse on the
commons: resource, governing process and community. For this edition, an
invited guest will activate the strand of focus for each walk: Rosanna Thompson
and Tatiana Baskakova, New Cross Commoners; Michael Smythe, Phytology; Alex
Colas and Russell Miller, Tree Musketeers. Texts are provided in advance and
walks begin at SPACE Mare Street where participants can also pick up a copy of
the specially commissioned publication.
The resulting experience of walking for up to two hours, swapping conversation
partners and perspectives several times, is one of intimacy created through
sharing and listening, the respect for ideas and difference. Thoughts are processed
quickly, the surrounding landscape becomes a blur, time is suspended and
within this moment bonds between strangers are formed. WED06JUL

interviewing women of East African background living in London. In order to

Believers dead set on destroying each other. To remedy this she forms a secular
scientific non-religion called ‘The Daughters of Manifestation’. Finding so much
beauty in the music of our world she sleeps and dreams and in the mornings,
the sounds of the rhythms of Haiti and West Africa, the Baroque melodies of

cries of Jazz trombones emerge.

THE NEO NATURISTS’ RETROSPECTIVE @ STUDIO VOLITARE
The Neo Naturists collaborated with a subversive cultural network that included
significant figures such as Grayson Perry, BodyMap (Stevie Stewart & David
Holah), Leigh Bowery, Michael Clark, Cerith Wyn Evans, Boy George, Derek
Jarman, Andrew Logan, John Maybury & Peter Robinson (Marilyn). Combining
ideas of ancient rituals with contemporary life, The Neo Naturists performed
wearing little more than body paint in nightclubs, galleries, festivals and
unannounced site-specific public performances.
Their celebration of a particular kind of anarchic innocence and deliberate
primitivism provided a unique artistic voice within a cultural landscape that was
otherwise dominated by a male perspective. Accordingly their work engages with
a range of complex issues surrounding gender, representation and performance.
The retrospective at Studio Voltaire will focus on elements taken from their
archive from 1980 –1992 and will include video footage of original performances,
photographic documentation, costumes, paintings and ephemera from their
performances. An integral aspect of the retrospective will
be the re-staging of key performances.

a simulation. Of their work, writer Randall Packer has written: “Eva and Franco
Mattes, enfant terribles of Net Art and now godparents of the digital natives (they set
the stage for the erosion of privacy long before the emergence of social media), have
been exposing all aspects of the digital life – the embarrassing, the narcissistic, the
fearless, the gross, the voyeuristic, the insipid, the heartless, and the just plain stupid –

SHE will also be exhibiting the outcomes of an ambitious artistic international
exchange, where replications of the same curated artworks will simultaneously
be exhibited in SHE exhibitions in our partnering galleries, the LPM Gallery in
Texas, USA and the Soa La Gallery in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam. As part of the
international collaboration 5 artists from the UK will also exhibit works that
have been created across continents with artists from both Vietnam and the US,
in a celebration of international solidarity, connectedness and difference.
Along with exhibiting a selection of artworks, from the beautiful to the
provocative, SHE will also be an inclusive and fun art experience for visitors
attending the show and our opening reception, that is set to be another
awesome arty party following Sweet ‘Art tradition, including interactive artworks
and fun and exciting freebies and surprises. Sponsored by Cinesync, guests will
also have the opportunity to artistically connect with guests
in Vietnam and the US in real time.
With help from our sponsors and collaborators we plan for SHE to be our most
ambitious event to date, continuing our ethos of making art accessible to all.

ONLINE EXHIBITION: MOVEMENT/ HISTORY @ WWW.EX-NUNC.ORG
Following the research initiated with Issue N°0, EX NUNC keeps exploring the concept of movement as agent of history.The purpose is to trade militarised
borders for thresholds, transnational migrations for change, to go back to an understanding of movement as first creative force, from which all stories
originate. MOVEMENT/HISTORY is an online exhibition in three chapters, each one investigating a particular aspect of the broader research-topic, through
the work of two artists.

LIFT FESTIVAL: MISS REVOLUTIONARY IDOL BERSERKER @ THE PIT
18:30 & 21:30 (£18)
Part pop concert, part controlled chaos, orchestrated by a rigorous director – this is Japanese subculture conveyed in all its multi-coloured, cacophonous,
frenetic glory.
Founded by Tokyo-based artist Toco Nikaido, Miss Revolutionary Idol Berserker pays homage to otagei – geeky dance routines performed by superfans to
their Japanese pop idols. Kitted out in rainbow-hued costumes and armed with an abundance of disposable props, her riotous company breaks down the
barriers between cast and audience as it hurtles towards a festival-like finale that invites everyone to take part.

Inviting, colourful and honest, these paintings hark back to the spirit
and style of her early works.
TILL SAT09JUL
THE INHALATION SHOW @ ANDOR
Felix Melia's film Shoulder Blades (2016) addresses the conditions of desire and autonomy, cohesion and coherence inside of contemporary relationships. By
examining the dominant narratives surrounding romance the film negotiates the process of developing intimacy whilst maintaining agency and explores the
pliable significances of the body within a prescriptive and aggressively binary cultural milieu. Melia has extracted some of the themes, structural elements and the spatial and physical dynamics from the film to create a contingent space within the gallery.
In constructing an environment that is framed both architecturally and aromatically Melia explores the impact of corporatised, hegemonic spatial narratives
on the agency of individuals, on their ability to move, occupy and interrelate.The atmosphere created by eucalyptus vapour - through an up scaled translation
of the practices of inhalation and aromatherapy, which benefit the respiratory system, as well as soothing aches and pains - is both therapeutic and aggressive.
It conditions the space and the bodies of those who occupy it. TILL SUN10JUL
O JUN CHIKANOBU ISHIDA 14 YEARS 119 YEARS LATER @ DANELLE ARNAUD
Curated by Tamiko O'Brien. For his first UK exhibition Tokyo based artist O JUN has produced new works on paper 14 days 119 years later, in response to
a series of woodblock prints from 1897, that are also on show in the gallery. The thirty Ukiyo-e prints from Jidai Kagami (Mirror of the Ages), by Toyohara
Chikanobu, each portrays an imagined female ‘Beauty’. Through elaborate hairstyles, costumes and posture each Beauty is tasked with representing an era of
Japanese history, while background pictorial insets show scenes from her daily life.

Museum with the delicate small silhouettes of a young girl, shadowy portraits of women and an immersive light installation.
TILL SUN17JUL
EMOTIONAL SUPPLY CHAINS @ ZABLUDOWICZ COLLECTION
Emotional Supply Chains explores how a fluid sense of self is fabricated in our digital present via a supply chain of objects, ideas and experiences. Although
we increasingly interact within 'virtual' space, this remains bound to tangible locations and circumstances. The exhibiting artists reflect on the tensions
between confinement and escape, happiness and anxiety, and presence and absence. The exhibition is structured into three parts, each exploring aspects of
contemporary identity: the dualities of self, the performed and networked self, and origins and renewal.
Exhibiting artists: Korakrit Arunanondchai (TH), Neïl Beloufa (FR), David Blandy (UK), David Raymond Conroy (UK),Andrea Crespo (US), Simon Denny (NZ),
Aleksandra Domanović (YU), Ed Fornieles (UK), Michael Fullerton (UK), Guan Xiao (CN), Eloise Hawser (UK), Ann Hirsch (US), Pierre Huyghe (FR), Daniel

SOME DIMENSIONS OF MY LUNCH: CONCEPTUAL ART IN BRITAIN: PART 2: MARIE YATES @ RICHARD SALTOUN
An exhibition by the conceptual and feminist artist, Marie YATES (b. 1940, Manchester, UK). Marie Yates is a woman working with landscape. Radical ideas
do not fit easily into this framework, because we are deeply riddled with prejudices about both women and landscape, and as a result she has been widely
misinterpreted.
TILL SAT23JUL
KERRY JAMESON: ALCHEMY @ MARSDEN WOO GALLERY
Acts of transformation and transmutation are key driving forces behind Kerry Jameson's upcoming exhibition. Taking inspiration from shamanic aspects of
alchemy, and early culture such as the Lascaux cave paintings of the Paleolithic era (described by Georges Bataille as 'bearing witness to what art was and when
art began') this new series of work evokes the movement of a primal state of consciousness into a place of realization, and her strange, dream-like creatures
form a powerful link between the mythological and the everyday.
TILL FRI29JUL
CLAUDE LALANNE: BUTTERFLIES ET BIJOUX @ LOUISA GUINNESS GALLERY
The exhibition brings together over 50 years of work from the 1970s to the present, including previously unseen pieces from the artist’s personal collection,

BLOOD FOR LIGHT @ WATERSIDE CONTEMPORARY
Blood For Light brings together a cycle of video installations in which fast-paced visuals and music are narrated in lucid and precise language by a voice that is
at points poet, seducer, prophet, and agitator.With experience in the broadcast industry, pop music and performance, Nastivicious (who describe themselves
as a “productive unit committed to creating good work”) are proficient in manipulating and distributing ‘content’. An on-the-fly quality, broad references and
stroboscopic attention spans are at once tools and subjects of interrogation.
TILL SAT20AUG
LARISSA SANSOUR IN THE FUTURE, THEY ATE FROM THE FINEST PORCELAIN @ THE MOSAIC ROOMS
Larissa Sansour’s work explores the crossover between the fictional and the factual, interrogating personal and political issues. In this ambitious show,
Jerusalem-born Sansour creates a vision of a futuristic world where the excavation of the past is a battleground. The artist offers a poetic and charged
reflection on the politicisation of archaeology where the material past is used as a tool to justify territorial claims and assert historic entitlement. This is in
particular reference to Israel/Palestine but is also reflective of other contested spaces and histories.
TILL SUN21AUG
MARY HEILMANN: LOOKING AT PICTURES @ WHITECHAPEL GALLERY
The Whitechapel Gallery exhibition Looking at Pictures begins with paintings based on the square, the grid and architectural details, such as The First Vent
(1972). They are juxtaposed with glazed ceramics, hovering between painting and sculpture. A slide show, Her Life (2006), features Heilmann’s paintings and
personal photographs set to an eclectic mix of music.

Atkinson’s Northern Ireland 1968 - May Day 19751975-6, which uses photography and text to represent different points of view in the Troubles in Northern
Ireland.

JUDY BLAME: NEVER AGAIN @ ICA
In the early 1980s Blame’s non-conformist attitude and a desire to distinguish himself within the London club scene motivated him to produce jewellery. His
modest resources shaped his DIY approach and led him to incorporate found objects as a foundation for making his adornments; early creations questioned
established material hierarchies and were testimony to the harsh realities of industrial and economic decline. It was during this period that he encountered
a range of creative individuals including Derek Jarman, Anthony Price, John Maybury and Leigh Bowery who championed his inventive approach to making
fashion accessories.
TILL SUN04SEP

LUKAS DUWENHÖGGER. YOU MIGHT BECOME A PARK @ RAVEN ROW
As much as a painter, Duwenhögger is a designer and a fabulist. Most of his subjects are treated with love; when depicted in imaginary portraits they are poised
and self-sufficient, while together, often homosocially, they seem engaged in private conversation and shared understandings…
TILL SUN18SEP
RANA BEGUM: THE SPACE BETWEEN @ PAROSOL UNIT
Perhaps an 'urban Romantic', Begum draws inspiration both from the city environment and her own childhood memories of the geometric patterns of
traditional Islamic art and architecture. Thus, properties of light, colour, material, movement and form have become a hallmark of her abstract sculptures and
reliefs. Often bringing a potentially infinite order to her works, Begum skilfully gives physical form to fleeting moments of aesthetic wonder.
TILL SUN21AUG
MONA HATOUM @ TATE MODERN
This is the first major survey of Hatoum’s work in the UK, covering 35 years from her early radical performances and video pieces, to sculptures and largescale installations. Born in Beirut to a Palestinian family, she settled in England in 1975. Through the juxtaposition of opposites such as beauty and horror,
Hatoum engages us in conflicting emotions of desire and revulsion, fear and fascination.
TILL SAT27AUG
EVA AND FRANCO MATTES: ABUSE STANDARDS VIOLATIONS @ CARROLL FLETCHER
Eva and Franco Mattes’ exhibition Abuse Standards Violations investigates the dark side of the Internet. In a new series of video installations, the New Yorkbased duo exposes the vast amount of unpalatable material kept away from our screens by an army of underpaid workers, while offering a bizarre but telling
glimpse into the lives of an ever-growing, dispersed global workforce.

With a focus on work made by artists born after 1968, in addition to several early pioneers who were active internationally in the 1960s and ’70s, Under

colonial and modern histories, repressive governments, economic crises, and social inequality, as well as by concurrent periods of regional economic wealth,
development, and progress.

DURO OLOWU: MAKING AND UNMAKING @ CAMDEN ARTS CENTRE
Making & Unmaking, curated by celebrated fashion designer and curator Duro Olowu, is the latest in our series of artist-selected shows. Bringing together
over sixty international artists working in diverse media, this exhibition places antique West African textiles and Bauhaus tapestries amongst contemporary
works and new commissions. Individually, the works address themes that include portraiture as well as representations of beauty, gender, sexuality, innocence
and the body. Collectively, their coming together reveals a common thread that Olowu describes as a ‘process of personal ritual experienced by artists in
creating their work’.

across music, fashion, print and graphic styles nationwide. Showcasing a range of fanzines, flyers, recordings and record sleeves from the British Library’s
collections alongside rare material from the Jon Savage Archive at Liverpool John Moores University, the exhibition will celebrate the enduring influence of
punk as a radical musical, artistic and political movement.

BHUPEN KHAKHAR @ TATE MODERN
After early experiments with Pop art, Khakhar developed a style of painting that combined both high and low, popular and painterly aesthetics, cleverly
subverting popular iconography. He confronted complex and provocative themes with candour: class difference; desire and homosexuality; and his personal
battle with cancer. Also a writer, his critical observations and literary sensibility were evident in his sharp, often ironic depictions of difficult subjects.
