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

  John Malkovich murder melodrama tops Barbican bill

   

  The Infernal Comedy, based on true story of Austrian serial killer, among highlights of Barbican's plans for coming yearIt might not be the cheeriest night out, watching John Malkovich as a resurrected Austrian serial killer on stage with a baroque orchestra and two sopranos singing arias about murder and abandonment, but it will, the Barbican's artistic director cheerfully suggests, be one of his personal highlights."It's a kind of 21st-century version of an 18th-century melodrama," said Graham...

  Yes, art fairs are foul – but we need them , Ben Luke

   

  Let's face it: art fairs are exhausting and a terrible way to see work. But they're essential for galleries and artistsLast week was Armory week in New York. If ever there was a surfeit of contemporary art in one place, then now is the time. It was centred on the Armory Show, America's biggest art fair, featuring most of the world's top commercial galleries, as well as younger, emerging spaces from across the globe. Alongside it was a plethora of other fairs, including the ultra blue-chip Art De...
