Zabludowicz Collection

9 March–30 April
www.zabludowiczcollection.com/exhibitions/view/invites-catinca-malaimare

As part of their Invites series, Zabludowicz Collection presents a solo exhibition by Romanian-born London-based artist Catinca Malaimare which includes performance, sculpture, audio and film. A cool blue light is the central motif of the installation which aims to reveal our intimate relationship with technological tools. Two performers undertake an imagined ritual of labour and contact with a cumbersome conveyor belt, moving to a soundtrack of multi-channel audio narrative. The machine acts as another body, each taking turns at being passive and active, connected and disconnected. The performers are artists Sian Fan and ZE.

As part of the Zabludowicz Collection’s commitment to supporting early career artists, the Invites programme is dedicated to solo exhibitions by UK-based artists without UK commercial gallery representation. Malaimare is working towards her first solo exhibition with Brooke Benington, London, which will take place in May 2023.

Crossroads by Serge Attukwei Clottey
Simon Lee Gallery

2 March – 15 April 2023
www.simonleegallery.com/exhibitions/251/

Crossroads by Serge Attukwei Clottey at Simon Lee will be the artists inaugural exhibition with the gallery. Primarily using found material from the streets or Accra and Ghana, in this exhibition Clottey explores his relationship between his Ghanaian identity and Western culture. Created between Accra and Los Angeles, the works in this exhibition consider Ghana’s complex history with international exchange and migration, contemplating notions of subjectivity, identity, and home. Clottey’s traditional medium of ‘Afrogallonism’ is at the centre of this exhibition, which will also debut a suite of oil paintings rendered on duct tape and cork board. The paintings extend upon the legacy of West African portrait photographers of the 1950s/ 60s and 70s, and reveal select motifs such as intricately patterned backdrops and affected postures. With recent public art works revealed at Kew Gardens and The Line in London in 2022, the exhibition allows audiences to delve deeper into Clottey’s practice and ponder with him how Ghana’s relationship to the West has evolved in the last 50+ years.
