STUFF ON THE WALL, ON THE FLOOR, FLOATING IN THE AIR...
Exhibition dates: 14th September – 9th October 2011
STUFF ON THE WALL, ON THE FLOOR, FLOATING IN THE AIR..., is an interdisciplinary show of four emerging artists and a curator selected by artist Angela De La Cruz. The show will take place at Guest Projects, London - the space run by artist Yinka Shonibare.
The project started off as an ongoing blog between four artists and a curator: Bernat Daviu, Colin Guillemet, Peter Simpson, Alaena Turner and Juliette Rizzi.
The discussions that arose from the blog led the artists to create an exhibition whereby the spontaneity, dynamism and tension that characterises online communication is transferred into a physical context.
The title is borrowed from a description of René Daniëls painting The Return of Performance, 1987. It indicates the interest of the four artists in abstraction and draws out the relationship to performance as a means to activate and re-frame the art object.
Every reception of a work of art is both an interpretation and performance of it, because in every reception the work takes on a fresh perspective for itself
(Umberto Eco, Open Work, 1962)
A series of events organised by the artists and the curator have been planned throughout the duration of the exhibition. These will pick up on the performative aspect of their practices and will involve music, discussion and dance.
For more information please contact Miriam Amari miriamamari@gmail.com and Juliette Rizzi rizzi.juliette@googlemail.com

Neil Ayling
Flection
5 October - 5 November 2011

EB&Flow is pleased to announce Neil Ayling’s first London solo exhibition, Flection. Ayling’s interest in fragmentation informs both his sculpture and photography as he defines sculptural aesthetics of cityscapes through a visual and physical editing process.
Ayling edits and manipulates imagery through a process of cutting and folding, flection meaning the resulting condition of something being folded or bent. Fragments of architecture are isolated to highlight their inherent sculptural compositions. They provide a snap shot of the whole yet occupy a new space separate from their origin.
Ayling’s new body of work includes a series of large free standing sculptures created using materials found in urban areas such as steel, concrete, hoarding and billboard posters. The materials are reconfigured in the work to create new forms whilst retaining both visual and physical references to a specific site. The sculptures use imagery in different ways but all start from a two-dimensional state, such as the photography of architectural elements.
Another large sculpture in the exhibition responds to the lines, shapes and colours found within graffiti. With the permission of The Hayward Gallery, London, Ayling installed blank hoarding at the Southbank Undercroft space for three months. During this time they were repeatedly covered with layer upon layer of graffiti. These boards were then subsequently used to create new 3D sculptures employing Ayling’s trademark methods of extraction and dislocation.
Ayling currently combines studio work for Sir Anthony Caro with his own practice as an artist.
