The first major exhibition in the UK of the London-based artist Silke Otto-Knapp. Devised as a single installation for Modern Art Oxford's Upper Gallery, the exhibition presents thirteen paintings produced by Otto-Knapp between 2005 and 2009.
Silke Otto-Knapp works with watercolour and gouache on canvas, repeatedly building up and dissolving the surface to create paintings of subtle effect. Drawing on a photographic archive of visual sources that refer to the spatial staging of the formal garden and the choreography of modern dance, Otto-Knapp's tautly constructed yet mutable compositions are rendered in layers of diluted pigment and metallic silver monotones. Recent paintings reveal the artist's evolving investigations into the construction of pictorial space with a renewed approach to the figure and colour through which more complex narratives emerge.
The exhibition will be Silke Otto-Knapp's first in a public Gallery in the UK since her earlier survey at the Kunstverein Düsseldorf in 2003 and her display at Tate Britain as part of the Art Now series in early 2005. To coincide with the exhibition, Modern Art Oxford is producing a fully illustrated monograph on Otto-Knapp's work with essays by the exhibition's curator Suzanne Cotter and writers Jan Verwoert and Catherine Wood. Published in collaboration with the Walter Phillips Gallery, The Banff Centre, and Koenig Books, London.
Kamil Vojnar s'inspire de la rencontre entre la beauté et la douleur qui nous entourent. Cet espace entre le ciel et la terre où l'incompréhensible se passe mais sans lequel la vie ne serait pas. Il cherche à explorer les recoins cachés de nos âmes, recueils de nos émotions les plus profondes.

L'histoire de l'arme chimique au cours de la guerre de 1914-1918 est paradoxale. Si l’on associe immanquablement les gaz de combat à l'évocation de ce conflit, on constate que l'on sait peu de choses sur cette « guerre dans la guerre ».

Wendy Paton allows herself to disappear in order to let her subjects emerge from the night. “My experience is that people act differently at night. They let their guard down. They become who they really are, or they transform themselves into someone, real or imagined, that they want to be. There are seemingly no restrictions at night. Life seems to become more free flowing as opposed to h...
Rappelant le fameux carnet moleskine que tout globe-trotter transporte dans ses voyages, les villes des « portraits de villes » prennent des tournures différentes selon la vision de chacun des photographes, soigneusement choisis par l’équipe be-pôles pour la richesse et la sensibilité de leur vocabulaire visuel.
