Akram Zaatari: The Fold - Space, time and the image

Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati
5 October 2018 - 10 February 2019

For this exhibition, Zaatari positions the seemingly simple fold as a narrative form. The artist explains how "a photograph captures space and folds it into a flat image, turning parts of a scene against others, covering them entirely. Every photograph hides parts to reveal others...What a photograph missed and what was present at the time of exposure will remain inaccessible. In those folds lies a history, many histories." The exhibition will attempt to uncover and imagine these stories, peering into the scratches, erosion and that which archives previously shed.
Curated by Steven Matijcio and presented in partnership with FotoFocus Biennial 2018.

Hurvin Anderson: Awarded the first TenTen Commission by the Government Art Collection

The TenTen Commission is being produced jointly by the Government Art Collection with Outset Contemporary Art Fund and is sponsored by Sybil Robson Orr and Matthew Orr.

Every year over the next decade, a British artist will be commissioned to create a unique, limited edition print which will be shown in diplomatic buildings across the world. 

Hurvin Anderson's print Still Life with Artificial Flowers is an intricate print that evokes a snapshot of the artist's mother's front room in Birmingham. Anderson worked with The Print Studio to replicate sourced and saved fabrics and wallpapers. The thirteen base colours are built up from fifteen stencils over twentyone layers, the rich use of pattern to flatten the space referencing the techniques of Henri Matisse.

Steve McQueen: Year 3 Project

Tate Britain, London

November 2019

This vast new artwork will be one of the most ambitious visual portraits of citizenship ever undertaken, in one of the world's largest and most diverse cities. 

Explored through the vehicle of the traditional school class photograph, Steve McQueen, together with Tate, Artangel and A New Direction, will invite every Year 3 primary school class in London to be photographed. The class photos will be brought together into a single large-scale installation, capturing tens of thousands of Year 3 school children in a milestone year in their development. 

'There's an urgency to reflect on who we are and our future [...] to have a visual reflection on the people who make this city work. I think it's important and in some ways urgent.' - Steve McQueen

Running in parallel to the exhibition at Tate Britain, Artangel will stage an outdoor exhibition spanning London's 33 boroughs, giving the public a glimpse of the future of their city.

For the opening of the exhibition the studio space will be left as it is, with the remnants of the exchange on view.
