exhibition review
Exhibition Review - Hannah Levy and Michael Simpson:'Shall we sit, stand or kneel?' Marlborough Chelsea, New York till 3rd Dec 2016.
“Denied of tiresome fixations,
it bends my body into incongruous places."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "The emptiness in Simpson's paintings and Levy's chromed metal and silicone (recently escaped from their “design purgatory”) made me think of my local surgery's consultation rooms. And aptly enough both artists disassemble contexts in search of powers in their wonted seats, laying them bare through slick bits of archaeology. Being apparently free from bondage and semantic connections, I felt a strange familiarity with these paintings and sculptures, due perhaps to their new potentials but also (funnily enough) to their inviolable relations to the body. Brilliant!" - JayZee

Exhibition Review - Levi Van Veluw:'the foundation' Rosenfeld Porcini, London till 26th Nov 2016.
“I biro a profile clean,
mistaking shadows for symmetry,
lost in the scattering
coherence in curiosity."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "My first intro to Van Veluw was in 2008 through photographs of his face with ballpoint marks. To me these were a piece of theatre concerned more about self-erasure then self-expression. In his later work 'The Origin of the Beginning', I started wondering if Van Veluw's work was not more about finding a place for himself and mankind in general within the grand scheme of nature and the divine. And this became clear in 'The Relativity of Matter' where Van Veluw becomes the accomplished maker of the wunderkammer, fingering perhaps at the idea behind the museums today and their collections. And here again he attempts to erase out his profile from his darkened archive rooms, beautifully challenging ideas of the formation, preservation and interpretation of an impossible collection. Fabulous." - Raj

Exhibition Review - Toby Ziegler:'Post-Human Paradise' Simon Lee Gallery, London till 26th Nov 2016.
“With Ziegler, I wrestle the reins of my gaze,
from the humming wires of my canvas."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "Much of the content in Ziegler's work is located in his process, a parallel of which can be found in the lossy compression and decompression of images in today's digital communication technologies. Ziegler's compression and flattening, while abandoning illusion, is enriched by allusion. But what is more interesting is how Ziegler has become this embodiment of Villem Flusser's post human, who instead of being a mere function of his different 'apparatuses', reveals their rule of play and the programmatic worldview of absurd coincidence. Now to become the masters of these out-of-body entities and play with the programmes that play with us!" - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Orla Barry:'Breaking Rainbows' Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin till 5th Nov 2016.
the oral and the written."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "For me, Barry explores the ideas behind true orality - when sequences of words and symbols are coloured by the presence of bodies and powered by breath and pulse. Her installation uses the oral event and the nonlinearity of oral thought processes to forefront relationships, movement and presence through her lived experiences as a sheep farmer and artist. Fabulous!" -

Exhibition Review - Yinka Shonibare MBE: '...and the wall fell away' Stephen Friedman Gallery, London till 11th Nov 2016.
“the mockery was born
from misplaced embroidery
stitches
of traded thread"
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "In this exhibition, Shonibare's art is once again about 'purloined seduction or pretend authenticity'. To me, Shonibare's magic lies in his contextual use of wax batik textiles. The voluptuousness of his fabric and its garish patterns always seduced and was slow to the gaze. Each fold and weave of the material often played with you before abandoning you to confused signifiers. To me, meanings are woven into the fabric itself and do not simply translate into flat, vernacular patterns of African ethnicity. But sadly, the fold, pleat and stitch is no longer." - Jayzee

Exhibition Review - Marc Behrens: '«Phantoms»' The MART Gallery, Dublin till 22nd Oct 2016.
“To listen is to edit,
the raphsody of the wind,
to hear is to see,
its conditions of possibility."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "To me, Behrens is our guide to the auditory unconscious, to sound that we won't hear or can't hear, to the confused swarm of elemental noise. Behrens, through his expertise in montage and editing, introduces us to the contaminated pause, to the backdrop that reveals sound. In near silence, he sensitises us to ghosts, to notions of intent and to the sounds of our imagination. The exhibition is esoteric and sparse. It requires commitment to discern the artist in his compositions. He nudges us towards the infinite but it is lost upon us. It begs another look." - Raj

Exhibition Review - Willie Doherty: 'Loose Ends' Kerlin Gallery, Dublin till 19th Oct 2016.
“Leach out the vapors,
thaw time in forsaken places.
Wherever we remember,
it's far from history."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "Doherty's videos are to me a re-telling of stories and events from a hundred years ago, a new perspective on history that is a type of witnessing that is not testimony. The videos have a certain posthumous quality to them as they explore the past in a ghost like hallucination, not concerned about making any sense of it. Also Doherty films powerful subjects with violent histories, their intense disquiet having been absorbed and filtered into every frame of his videos, giving his signature restraint a certain penumbra of unexpected danger. I have watched these videos again and again!" - Raj

Exhibition Review - Jeremy Everett and Fabio Lattanzi Antinori: 'No Not Never None' Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London till 1st Oct 2016.
“Show me, the shape and size,
the order and beauty,
the rhythm and waft,
of uncertainty."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "There, lying just below the surface of the apparent, resides the world of Jeremy Everett and Fabio Lattanzi where the 2nd law of thermodynamics leans into the infinite weave and spirals of the processes of life." - FaSa
