2 April - 1 June 2008 Mircea Cantor: The Need for Uncertainty
Modern Art Oxford launches an ambitious new series of artists’ commissions
produced in
collaboration with Arnolfini, Bristol and Camden Arts Centre, London. The first
commission
by Mircea Cantor presents a new sculptural installation in Modern Art Oxford’s
Upper
Gallery elaborating on the theme of uncertainty. A carved wooden form wrapped
around the
trunk of a tree in a Transylvanian forest and a flying carpet woven with motifs
of angels and
aeroplanes are some of the elements used by Cantor to prompt reflections on
worlds within
worlds, and on freedom and its limitations.
Mircea Cantor: The Need for Uncertainty will be presented at Arnolfini, Bristol,
13 September
to 16 November 2008 and Camden Arts Centre, London, 13 February to 12 April
2009.
Supported by the Romanian Cultural Institute in London. 3: 3 artists / 3 spaces
/ 3 years is
funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
2 April - 1 June 2008 Ansel Adams: Photographs
An exhibition of more than seventy photographs, hand-printed and selected by the
American photographer and environmentalist Ansel Adams (1902–1984). This timely
exhibition includes Adams’ photographs of the magnificent landscapes for which
he is most
celebrated, from the soaring monoliths of Yosemite National Park to the lakes
and
mountains of Alaska. Spanning a period of fifty years, from the 1920s to the
1970s, the
exhibition reveals the place of Adams’ work in a tradition of American
photographers of the
sublime natural landscape.
Ansel Adams: Photographs is organised by Modern Art Oxford. All works are from
the
collection of Anne Adams Helms. The exhibition tours to the New Art Gallery,
Walsall and
Kunstmuseum, Bergen.
2 April - 1 June 2008 Encounters: Katie Paterson
Katie Paterson creates poetic works of art that address our physical landscape
in
unimagined and inspiring ways. Paterson generated excitement around the world
with her
work Vatnajökull (the sound of), presented as part of her 2007 Slade School
Degree Show,
inviting visitors to call a number that connected them to Vatnajökull glacier in
Iceland from
where they could hear the sounds of ice melting.
Originally organised for one week, Paterson re-presents Vatnajökull (the sound
of) for nine
weeks as part of her exhibition in Modern Art Oxford’s Lower Gallery, together
with the
haunting Earth-Moon-Earth (Moonlight Sonata Reflected from the Surface of the
Moon). The
exhibition is the third in our Encounters series, and Paterson’s first in a UK
public gallery.
Born in Glasgow in 1981, the artist lives and works in London.
14 June - 31 August 2008 Gary Hume: Door Paintings
Modern Art Oxford presents a survey of British artist Gary Hume’s Door
Paintings. Twenty
years after Hume first excited critics and public alike with his high-gloss,
monochrome
paintings based on institutional doors, this exhibition traces their evolution,
from the first
monochrome canvases of the late 1980s to the luscious multi-panel works of the
early 90s
and Hume’s return to the motif in recent years. The first opportunity to
consider this
important body of work by the artist from a broad and compelling perspective.
Gary Hume
was born in Kent in 1962 and lives and works in London and upstate New York.
Organised by
Modern Art Oxford.
14 June - 31 August 2008 Encounters: Victor Alimpiev
Modern Art Oxford presents the first UK exhibition of work by Russian artist
Victor Alimpiev.
In his films and videos Alimpiev investigates the subtleties of human
expression: moments
of awkwardness, habits, and the relationship of the individual to the
collective. Born in 1973,
the artist lives and works in Moscow.
14 October - 24 December 2008 Janet Cardiff/
George Bures Miller Janet Cardiff and her long-term
collaborator George Bures Miller are known for their immersive installations
involving sound, images and objects that engage the viewer’s
senses in the creation of alternative realities. The exhibition will fill all
five galleries at
Modern Art Oxford and include new and recent work not previously seen in the UK.
Janet
Cardiff was born in Brussels, Ontario, Canada in 1957. George Bures Miller was
born in 1960
in Vegreville, Alberta, Canada. Organised in collaboration with The Fruitmarket
Gallery,
Edinburgh.
