TOMORROW - Rhubaba Presents: James Clarkson

[http://www.rhubaba.org/files/logos/black-no-background.png]

Hello,

A reminder that tomorrow,

Rhubaba Presents:

A Chance Encounter Between an Umbrella and a Sewing Machine

Works by James Clarkson

[http://gallery.mailchimp.com/1451e9af82bc98b746394f078/files/colour_for_web.1.jpg]

18.02.12 ~ 04.03.12

Preview: Friday 17th February, 7~9pm

Friday ~ Sunday, 12~5pm (or by appointment)

[http://rhubaba.org/files/wiggle-spacer.jpg]

Rhubaba are delighted to announce A Chance Encounter Between an Umbrella and a Sewing Machine, the first Scottish exhibition by James Clarkson. The show takes its title from Comte de Lautréamont's 19th century prose poem, 'Les Chants de Maldoror', a seminal work of literature often sighted as an influence on the methodologies of French Symbolist, Dada and Surrealist movements during the 1920's. Lautréamont was himself influenced by the works of Baudelaire and the two shared an interest in the random possibilities or associations that occur when two unrelated objects or concepts meet in an unfamiliar situation.

From this basis, and taking Lautréamont's text as a particular reference point, Clarkson will present a number of existing works reconfigured for the Rhubaba Gallery in an attempt to tease out tensions and relationships between disparate pieces. The title of the exhibition, aside from its significance as a historical reference, is also used as a means of reflecting upon Clarkson's use of found objects in the fabrication of his works.

The work 'Two Birds in Space,' previously exhibited as a public artwork, has been moved into the gallery and is presented as an expansive print, becoming a backdrop to the sculptural works on show. Brancusi's 'Bird in Space' is pressed against a woman's rear, clad in gold hotpants, that meld with the masterpiece. Clarkson brings together the formal attributes that circle between each of the images, allowing an equality of form to occur between them.

[http://rhubaba.org/files/wiggle-spacer.jpg]

James Clarkson is an artist based in Sheffield. Recent Exhibitions include User Selection - Driven Evolution, Supercollider, Blackpool; How to be a Magician in Your Spare Time, Kunst Projects, Berlin; The Palace at 4am, Pavement, Permanent Gallery, Brighton; Matt Roberts Salon Art Prize, Matt Roberts, London (all shows 2011). James has recently finished a design commission for artist Haroon Mirza's solo exhibition at Spike Island, Bristol, and was selected as one of Modern Painters', 100 'Artists to Watch', December/January 2012.

[http://rhubaba.org/files/wiggle-spacer.jpg] News

A Chance Encounter Between an Umbrella and a Sewing Machinealso serves to launch Rhubaba's newly expanded gallery space.

To coincide with the opening of James Clarkson's exhibition, we are happy to be revealing the first limited edition prints available as part of our Associate Membership scheme. Rhubaba membership subscriptions cost £15 (£10 concessions), with Associate Memberships starting at £50. The membership scheme gives individuals the opportunity to support the gallery's increasingly ambitious programme of events and exhibitions as well as submitting work to the Members' Archive.

More information can be found on our website.

Important news about Public Entertainments Licensing:

According to new legislation from the Scottish Government regarding Public Entertainment Licences, small, not-for-profit arts spaces and organisations are coming under a great deal of threat across Scotland. The prospect of fees, unnecessary/impossible admin and bureaucracy, the loss of autonomy and the excessive regulation of creativity and ideas will severely damage grass roots initiatives in theatre, performance, music and art.

It is the responsibility of local councils to determine the extent of these changes and fees, and as such, we must demonstrate to the City of Edinburgh Council the urgency of the situation.

Stills: WEDNESDAY, 15 FEBRUARY 6PM. Globalisation, Art, Realism, Allan Sekula

WEDNESDAY, 15 FEBRUARY 6PM
Stills Gallery, 23 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1BP, www.stills.org<http://www.stills.org/>

Globalisation & Art Lectures: For this lecture series art historians, photographers, artists and visual culture specialists have been invited to examine the intersections between art and the social realities produced by globalisation. All of the lectures are FREE. To book a place please email programme@stills.org<mailto:programme@stills.org>.


Gail Day: Social Transitivity in Allan Sekula's The Lottery of the Sea. Focusing on Allan Sekula's video essay The Lottery of the Sea (2006), Gail Day considers the longstanding, but recently revived, problem of realism. Her talk explores the representational strategies used to negotiate a critical cognition of contemporary capitalism.

Gail Day is Senior Lecturer in the School of Fine Art, History of Art & Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds. Her book Dialectical Passions: Negation in Postwar Art Theory was published by Columbia University Press in 2010.

Steve Edwards: Some Brechtian Moments. Taking the re-evaluation of Bertolt Brecht's legacy as a starting point, Steve Edwards will use the radical aesthetics of the 1970s as a frame for thinking about Allan Sekula's photo-text works.

Steve Edwards teaches art history at the Open University. Books include: The Making of English Photography, Allegories (2006) and Photography : A Very Short Introduction (2006). His book Martha Rosler's The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems will be published by Afterall early in 2012. He is an editor of Historical Materialism and of Oxford Art Journal.

[History of Art] This programme is presented with generous support from The University of Edinburgh's History of Art department and the Roberts Fund.

DAVID SHRIGLEY & VIP ART FAIR

[http://www.stephenfriedman.com/assets/logo.png]<http://sut5.co.uk/sLIWB3r1sGsLurvfhIqM8vTxoveh9vP4-qz6r_7_rrTp4rXts-Xn6--g-djd3reUlZLG16TD1a7M2K2bmpnBg4WXg5yQmJGKkJ-fkZyQLmJtbg..>

8 February - 10 March 2012

Private View: Tuesday 7 February 2012, 6 - 8pm


Stephen Friedman Gallery is delighted to announce 'Arms Fayre', a solo exhibition of new work by acclaimed British artist David Shrigley. Presented here for the first time is a group of ceramic sculptures, the artist's most recent taxidermy curiosity and a brand new animation made especially for this exhibition.

David Shrigley graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1991. Over the past two decades he has developed a rich and varied practice. Best known for his crudely composed ironic drawings, his work now also encompasses a broad range of media including photography, sculpture, music, animation and taxidermy. What is in common throughout is an appreciation for the absurd; an eye for the overlooked and an ability to convey humour in a myriad of ways. His subtle, yet often darkly witty imaginings provide a welcome counter to the banality of daily life. Likened to a 'playful surrealist,' Shrigley manages to acknowledge the post-war humour of 'Goon' Spike Milligan whilst simultaneously referencing the now iconic disjunction found in the work of artists such as René Magritte.

This exhibition brings together three strands of Shrigley's work. Presented in the front gallery space is an installation of new ceramic sculptures entitled 'Bombs'. These domestically sized objects brilliantly capture the archetypal image of a missile as commonly found in cartoon iconography – an elongated oval placed upright on four supporting feet. The bomb, traditionally an icon of war and destruction is transformed under Shrigley's touch. Here, the glazed, black surfaces conceal a fragile ceramic foundation, a natural material quite at odds with the power of the man-made weapon it is fashioned to resemble. The simplicity of form is key to the success of these objects: instantly recognisable yet not reliant on exact similitude the bombs are at once both alluring and disconcerting.

Such subversion is crucial to Shrigley's canny ability to manipulate his subject matter, a skill further evidenced in the darkened back gallery space. Here, Shrigley's newest animation, 'The Artist' is projected alongside his most recent taxidermy. 'Monkey' is a small, stuffed, headless squirrel monkey, or Saimiri sciureus. Standing atop a plinth, spot lit against the flickering black and white animation, the creature's silhouette is caught as if mid-dance. This playful pose is in juxtaposition with the monkey's headless stature. Frozen in time, the small mammal should be an emblem for death. Yet as ever with Shrigley, it is not that simple. In death there is humour; in the farcical there is meaning.

This exhibition highlights the breadth of Shrigley's practice whilst at the same time illustrating the strength in its fluidity. His film work is a natural progression from his drawings, allowing an expansion of narrative that one image cannot achieve. In the same way the ceramics are an apt development of this graphic work, the easily malleable clay responding well to the artist's light and impulsive touch and giving solid form to his shifting thought patterns.

In addition to the works in the main gallery space, there will be a presentation of new works on paper at no.11 Old Burlington Street, the majority of which have never been shown before.

This gallery show coincides with Shrigley's first ever mid-career UK survey, running concurrently at the Hayward Gallery, London. Highly anticipated, 'Brain Activity' is the most wide-ranging presentation of the artist's work to date and cements Shrigley's position as one of the UK's foremost cultural figures.

David Shrigley (b.1968, Macclesfield) lives and works in Glasgow. Forthcoming exhibitions include Brain Activity, Hayward Gallery, London, UK (2012). Recent notable solo exhibitions include Animate, The Turku art Museum, Finland (2011); Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts, Glasgow, Scotland (2010); New Powers, Kunsthalle Mainz, Germany (2009); David Shrigley, Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany (2008); BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK (2008); Everything Must Have a Name, Konsthall, Malmo, Sweden (2007) and David Shrigley, Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee, Scotland (2006).

Forthcoming group shows include A Perfect Day, Westergasfabriek, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2012). Recent notable group exhibitions include Ron Arad's Curtain Call, The Roundhouse, London (2011); Rude Britannia, Tate Britain, London (2010); Laughing in a Foreign Language, Hayward Gallery, London, UK (2008); Momentary Momentum, Parasol Unit foundation for contemporary art, London; touring to Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, UK (2007-2008); The Compulsive Line: Etching 1900 to Now, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY (2006) and State of Play, Serpentine Gallery, London (2003).

Other projects include Sort of Opera: Pass the Spoon (In collaboration with David Fennessy and Nicholas Bone, featuring a live music played by the Red Note Ensemble), The Tramway, Glasgow (2011); touring to The Hayward Gallery, London, UK (2012).

PREVIEW/// 2 February 2012, 6 – 8pm
EXHIBITION/// 3 February – 4 March 2012, Mon – Sun 12 – 4.30pm
REWIND Screening Event/// 15 February 5.30 – 7.30pm
RECORD>AGAIN! 40yearsvideoart.de<http://40yearsvideoart.de> - Part 2 is the second phase of a remarkable project 40jahrevideokunst.de<http://40jahrevideokunst.de>, initiated by the German Federal Cultural Foundation in 2006. Under the direction of ZKM Karlsruhe (Centre for Art & Media Technology), five leading German museums have worked in collaboration for the realisation of the project, which aims to preserve, restore and disseminate one of the most influential art forms of the 20th century; Video Art.
Including many works that have not been seen for decades, the exhibition features over 40 outstanding video pieces made between 1968 and 2008. Highlights include a rare work by Ulrike Rosenbach with her partner at the time, Klaus vom Bruch, the boxing match from 1972 that Joseph Beuys participated in at the documenta 5, and the first video synthesizer collages by Walter Schröder-Limmer.
The exhibition focuses exclusively on the medium of video and the core mission of the project, which is preservation, not canonisation. Many works from the history of video were considered untraceable, lost or no longer playable. The project's main concern is to save these works from deteriorating while at the same time reconstructing the history of the video movement as a whole.
The REWIND: Artists' Video in the 70s & 80s research project at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design provides a meaningful context for this exhibition to be shown at Centrespace at Visual Research Centre, DJCAD. The REWIND project through its focus on video works of the 1970s and 1980s provides a resource to address the gap in historical knowledge of the evolution of electronic media arts in the UK. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) it has investigated, conserved and archived over 450 single screen and installation works from the first two decades of artists' works in video. Building upon the success of REWIND UK, a new funding support from the AHRC enables the project team to embark on REWINDItalia; a 28-month project that explores the important history and narratives of video art activity in Italy between 1968 and 1994.
RECORD/REWIND In-conversation Event: 2 February 2012, 3 - 4.30pm<http://dundee.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bec5c83c5721068bccd072abe&id=e39d23d837&e=32a6ecbb2f>

To accompany this exhibition of an extraordinary selection of video works from Germany, an In-conversation event will take place at the Visual Research Centre of DJCAD; the home of the REWIND research project. Featuring researchers, curators and artists from Germany and Britain, this discursive event provides a unique opportunity to scrutinise the histories of the video art movement in both countries and to unpack the propositions, approaches and outcomes of these two prestigious historic European research projects.
Speakers include Malcolm Dickson, Holger Mohaupt, Dorcas Müller and Stephen Partridge, chaired by Deirdre MacKenna. (see biogs below)

Morgan Cahn from the Student Curatorial Team is leading a Fun-A-Day project in Dundee. The premise is simple: pick a project (take a photograph, make the bed, draw a picture, bake a cake, etc), do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group show. Fun-A-Day seeks to remove the barriers to creativity by offering opportunities and invitations for participation. The project seeks to create a welcoming forum for people to share what they do, to strengthen existing communities of artists, and to kick-start new ones. The originators of Fun A Day are the artclash! collective in Philadelphia, PA (artclash.com<http://artclash.com>). Since its inception in 2004, the project has shown tens of thousands of pieces by hundreds of artists.

This exhibition features paintings, drawings and prints by students at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in the 1980s. Under the influence of the new Head of Fine Art, Professor Alan Robb, and fellow tutors such as Peter Collins and Ronald Forbes, a distinctive style emerged at that time - brightly coloured, highly finished and grotesque or cartoon-like works which could seem sinister yet funny, realistic yet surreal. Artists such as Graeme Todd, Ian Scott, Edward Summerton and Derrick Guild gave Duncan of Jordanstone an enviable reputation for its drawing and painting. This show has been created as a response to the exhibition A Painted World, opening at The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum on 27 January and featuring work by Alan Robb and his contemporaries.

1. EXHIBITION/// Jane & Louise Wilson
21 January – 25 March
This exhibition brings together two bodies of recent work by acclaimed British artists Jane and Louise Wilson: Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum), 2010 and the UK premiere of Face Scripting – What Did the Building See?, 2011.
Commissioned by Forma to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum) is a suite of large-scale photographic prints. These images depict deserted interiors from the now almost entirely abandoned town of Pripyat, situated within the 30km wide Exclusion Zone. The richly textured images include a kindergarten, a theatre and a swimming pool, all of which explicitly reveal the hurried nature of their abandonment.
Face Scripting – What Did the Building See? was inspired by the assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh, a Hamas operative, in a Dubai hotel room in January 2010. The two-part film installation shows the artists' own film alongside real CCTV footage that was compiled, and subsequently released on YouTube, by the Dubai state police. This work is an intensely detailed study of the site of the assassination and a meditation on current
trends in surveillance techniques. Face Scripting – What Did the Building See? was made in collaboration with Shumon Basar and Eyal Weizman.
Jane and Louise Wilson were born in Newcastle and studied respectively at Newcastle Polytechnic and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee. They began working together in 1989 and in the following year undertook an MA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, London. Since then they have exhibited at major galleries internationally and were nominated for the Turner Prize in 1999.

2. CINEMA - GALLERY SCREENINGS/// Chosen by Jane & Louise Wilson
Dr. Strangelove
3 February, 6pm
Dir: Stanley Kubrick
A hysterical examination of Cold War paranoia, Dr. Strangelove satirises the idea that Mutually Assured Destruction would deter the prospect of nuclear war. Peter Sellers takes on three roles: Captain Lionel Mandrake, President of the United States Merkin Muffley and Dr. Strangelove.
Kiss Me Deadly
21 February, 6pm
Dir: Robert Aldrich
LA private-eye Mike Hammer picks up a mysterious blonde, only to be beaten up by thugs who kidnap her. When she turns up dead, Mike investigates, but things take a sinister turn when he finds a suitcase containing a strange glowing substance. Kiss Me Deadly plays on Cold War fears of nuclear apocalypse: it's perfect for those who like their noirs dark, their gumshoes hard-boiled and their blondes wearing nothing but a trench coat.

1. PREVIEW/// 10 February, 6 – 8pm
EXHIBITION/// Charming Snakes:
Family Nart
Snake Charmers of the Sapera Caste and the Parvati Valley Disappearances - Ross Fraser Mclean


13 February - 27 April
In the summer of 2011 photographer Ross Fraser Mclean travelled to India with a plan to travel the length and breadth of the country. He wanted to experience their diverse culture, the cities, the countryside, the desert land. However, a snap decision made on the day he arrived saw him stranded in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere, a virtual captive of the Sapera Caste of North India. In this exhibition Mclean presents his most narrative driven collection of work to date - a personal insight into this mysterious and dwindling community who have been living on the extreme fringes of society since their proud tradition of Snake Charming was outlawed by the Indian Government. There will be two screenings of a specially made documentary about Mcleans's experiences in India, commencing at 6.30pm and 7.30pm.




2. CINEMA/// Movie Club

1. EXHIBITION///
A Painted World: Selected Works 1975 – 2011 by Alan Robb
Until 18 March
This exhibition features paintings by Alan Robb who was, for twenty years, Head of the School of Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of Dundee. Professor Robb was able to appoint an exciting group of like-minded artists who together created a highly successful culture of teaching and original research. This exhibition will include a curation of works from his collection, which acknowledge the interplay of ideas and influence that occur in a dynamic teaching environment.
Alan Robb's work is clearly figurative and has slowly evolved through a number of major shifts in means and content but always driven by ideas. His most recent body of work, in stark contrast to the "classical" paintings of the 90s, is strongly linked to Brazil and his research into the imaginative world of Afro-Brazilian Folklore and Cosmology.
