Carter London will be presenting a solo exhibition of Colin Smith at Just Madrid
This new contemporary art fair will be held from February 18th through 21st 2010 at La Lonja and Nave de Terneras belonging to the Municipal District of Arganzuela in Madrid
JUST MADRID is a new contemporary art fair to be held from February 18th through 21st 2010 at La Lonja and Nave de Terneras, belonging to the Municipal District of Arganzuela in Madrid. Curated this year by art director Virginia Torrente, the fair is dedicated exclusively to emerging artists and has a decidedly international bias, with over 60% of galleries coming from outside Spain. It also has fringe sections titled Curators’ Desks, featuring
curated spaces, and Big Size Outside, a selection of installation-sculpture pieces located outdoors.
JUST MADRID showcases 27 galleries working with new artists, diffusing their work and bringing it to the attention of collectors, curators and other agents in the art world. All the projects on show will be created specifically for the stands at the fair, and based on innovation, risk-taking and new formats.
JUST MADRID enhances the cultural offer available in Madrid by increasing the inflow of players from the contemporary art world travelling to Madrid for the annual art fairs. It also covers a pressing need in the Spanish contemporary art market to provide room for galleries that represent promising new artists, bringing them into contact with critics, collectors, curators and a general public eager to discover new talent.
JUST MADRID is conceived bearing in mind the international public travelling to Madrid at this time of year. Young collectors and institutions investing in new talent will find in JUST MADRID an exciting selection of galleries and artists endorsed by the experience of the art director and the ArtFairs team.
JUST MADRID hosts Curators’ Desks, a number of spaces set aside for independent curatorial groups from around the world whose presence at the fair is designed to throw a spotlight on their work. The chosen groups are: Cabaret Voltaire (Switzerland), Capacete (Brazil), Gasworks (UK) Filipa Oliveira & Miguel Amado(Portugal), Pablo León de la Barra (Mexico-UK), PILOT (UK) and Plataforma Curatorial (Spain) who will all be presenting specific projects either at their own stand or in other spaces, both inside and outside the fair.
JUST MADRID is also introducing Big Size Outside for outdoor areas around the fair. This section comprises a selection of installation-sculpture pieces presented by participating galleries to be located in the area surrounding Nave de Terneras.
JUST MADRID is held at La Lonja and Nave de Terneras, two unique industrial architecture buildings with metal, brick and glass structures, belonging to the Municipal District of Arganzuela and perfect for hosting a fair of this kind. Located next to Matadero Madrid, the experimental creative art centre run by the City Council of Madrid’s Dept of Arts, and also near MNCARS (Museo Nacional de Arte Contemporáneo Reina Sofía) and well connected with all areas of Madrid by metro (Legazpi) and bus. Furthermore, to create synergies with other fairs, there will be a shuttle bus service to and from Arco-Ifema.

DETOX is a ‘pop-up’ exhibition exploring the phenomena of detoxification.
Detoxification programmes aim to cleanse and purify for maximum wellbeing;
DETOX explores this and looks closely at the personal, environmental and
ideological issues surrounding detoxing.
Art in the show takes both nihilistic and optimistic approaches to contemporary
life and will at times examine concepts of toxicity, excess, dirt, cleansing,
purification and the narcissistic search for self improvement.
DETOX opens 16th January 2010 in a disused dojo in Hoxton Square.
Concrete Allotment Projects is a not-for-profit curatorial collaboration formed
by artist-curators, Kristen Lovelock and Jo Wilmot.
Special thanks to Shoreditch Trust and Shoreditch Spa.
Thomas Draschan is currently featuring in Videorama at Kunsthalle Vienna 4th November 2009 - January 2nd 2010
Videorama. Kunstclips aus Österreich
,
04. November 2009 - 10. Jänner 2010
Das Kerzenlicht von Franz Schuberts Animation leuchtet den Weg in den Bilderdschungel der Ausstellung und lässt dabei an große Kunst von Gerhard Richter und Popkultur von Sonic Youth denken. Videorama präsentiert aktuelle, österreichische Video- und Filmarbeiten aus dem ursula blickle videoarchiv. Die Schau versammelt clipartige Werke, Erzählungen in Kurzform und Laufbildkombinationen, die Erfahrungsräume provozieren: visuelle Überforderung und ästhetische Konzentration bei gleichzeitiger Sensibilisierung des Wahrnehmungsapparates. Die KünstlerInnen von Videorama arbeiten gleichermaßen mit aufwendigen wie einfachen Mitteln. Sie filmen, animieren, dokumentieren und nutzen Referenzsysteme aus Kunst, Leben und Geschichte. Das reicht von den absurden Nonsense-Produktionen von Mara Mattuschka & Gabriele Szekatsch und Rainer Ganahl über theatralisch-performative Inszenierungen bei Markus Schinwald bis zum Bilderflackern aus dem Archiv des Alltags wie es Thomas Draschan und Axel Stockburger vorstellen.
Bewegend und bewegt sind die Animationen von Susi Jirkuff, Hubert Sielecki und Veronika Schubert. Mal perfektionistisch, mal trashig schwimmen die Bilder der Ausstellung dem Strom der Zeit entgegen und beweisen häufig, wie die Arbeiten von Rudolf Polanszky, Anna Jermolaewa und Stermann & Grissemann Humor, der direkt ins Schwarze trifft.
Kuratorin: Angela Stief

THE SOCIAL LIVES OF OBJECTS May 29 - Jul 19, 2009
Castlefield Art Gallery Manchester
New work by Hilary Jack, Lisa Penny and Dallas Seitz. The artists’ documentation, use and manipulation of found objects reference anthropological research, museum display and personal memory.
Exhibitions & Events - Current & Future
The Social Lives of Objects
29 May 2009 to 19 July 2009
Castlefield Gallery is pleased to present The Social Lives of Objects brings together the work of three artists based in Manchester and London, Hilary Jack, Lisa Penny and Dallas Seitz.
The exhibition examines the complex relationship we have with material goods and explores the journeys that objects make from production and consumption towards obsolescence and decay.
Working across media using found material collected from a variety of sources, the artists’ work is drawn together by their exploration of the social lives of everyday objects, and their interpretation of the essay by Bruno Latour1 Mixing Humans and Non Humans Together; The Sociology of the Door Closer.
The exhibition references social and anthropological research, museum display, personal memory and hints at the history and destiny of the objects the artists have chosen to work with. Plucked from the brink of oblivion these everyday objects are reformed and represented as sculptural installations, public interventions and wall based work, their status raised and their meaning changed.
A dark and playful narrative runs throughout the work which prods the subconscious and references the powerful and poetic relationship we have with material goods in a world overflowing with ‘stuff’.
