Katri Walker: Trip the Light at Museo de la Ciudad in Querétaro, Mexico

Trip the Light looks past the spectacle of the polemical world of bullfighting to a quietness that lies beyond.  The work uses moving image to explore inherent feminine sensibilities woven throughout a masculine subculture, seeking out a delicate, poetic tension that reflects and underlies this relationship.

Zhang Yuan: Chelsea School of Art Postgraduate Show

"There is a small table on which a teapot steams continuously from its spout. Look inside the china teacup and, mistily, through the ‘liquid’ inside, a video of the artist by the Thames is revealed. Look inside a tangerine placed on a shelf and there is a tiny film of the tangerine being peeled. ‘Creature’ is a crack in the wall into which you peer closer and closer until you realise you are looking at a video of a vagina, juicy and gently pulsing. This room was quiet, its various treats revealing themselves slowly, sometimes delightful, sometimes unnerving. It was the perfect combination of emotional impact and intellectual provocation and I absolutely want to go back to see it again." more

Sense Makes No Sense: David Sherry

Sense Makes No Sense David Sherry 16 February - 13 April 2013

Please join us for the preview on Friday 15 February, 7 - 9pm David Sherry’s art practice centres around performative ideas relating to everyday life and depicting ordinary experiences from a new perspective. Exploring beliefs, social interaction and real experience. Making works that re-access the acceptance of common values, exploring the thin vale of sanity and the contradictions in life. Sherry gains, through his work, an insight into the psychological diversity of any singular situation, fragmenting what is accepted and analysing a basic moment in day to day life. Conveying the idea that nothing is permanent or stable, questioning what is understood and re-evaluating a collective perspective. For his solo show at The Changing Room Sherry will present new video works alongside a new series of drawings & paintings.
