Schwartz Gallery presents the work of Mark Selby and Kate Terry as part of its new series of two-person shows for 2010 questioning exhibition-making practice. The programme aims to create an innovative platform for dialogue between the work of contemporary artists while not being a collaboration. Examining the practice of Selby and Terry one is drawn into a dynamic of ‘the-viewer-as-navigator’ whose presence in the gallery space is set against ‘zones of activity’ or ‘fields of looking’ and of ‘looking again’.

Terry’s site-specific thread installation works with the architecture of the gallery space to question its function and physicality. Like a peculiar optical device akin to a two-way mirror the individual threads map out and suggest an indeterminate number of planes and surfaces appearing and disappearing within the unchanging dimensions of the exhibition space. What begins as a delicate and tactile material is put through a rigorous process of measuring, nailing and connecting transforming it into a tool for dynamic yet elegant spatial intervention that twists and turns the space within and around it. The viewer is caught in an inseparable act of ‘looking through’ and ‘looking at’ the work in an enchanting inter-play between real and imagined architectures.www.kateterry.co.uk

Questions regarding the role of the viewer are re-visited in the site-specific installation Selby has created in the gallery space. An ambiguous relationship between the structures and implied functions of Selby’s work, produce an effect of the ‘absent performer‘ or indeed of the ‘viewer-as-performer‘ in and around the installation. The work sets up a dialogue between binary opposites; interior and exterior space, seeing and being seen, technology and the hand made, as well as one between the inclusion and exclusion of knowledge as to the work’s operation. The function of the work in the gallery context and the role of the viewer in Selby’s installation hover indeterminately in a heady formal and metaphorical mix of received versus appropriated structural and communication models. www.manifesto-art.co.uk

  Invader Prints at Pictures on Walls

   

  One issue with street art, as I see it, comes in a difficult translation to pieces that can enter the collectors market. How does one, for example, turn Invader’s site specific mosaic into easily transported commodity? The latest print offerings from Pictures on Walls do a good job capturing the spirit of Invader’s work. The prints are embossed to give tiled effect to the paper and ultimately working to keep the low relief of the artist’s pieces at the fore. In all, there are three prints, simp...

  Flesh in Venice: why there's no one like Titian , Jonathan Jones

   

  Titian's art drinks in the air and light of his native city and breathes it out across the worldTitian is an artist who travels well. The very name we know him by in the English-speaking world, derived from Tiziano, is testament to his capacity to take root in cultures remote from his own. In his later life, he painted for export, sending paintings by ship from his native Venice to his employer, the Spanish king. Amazingly, he was on salary as a Habsburg court artist, paid lavishly first by Char...
