SUMMARY:Nowhere And Everywhere At The Same Time No.2
DESCRIPTION:Now this is an unexpected offering from Berklee: the revised version of William Forsythe’s Nowhere And Everywhere At The Same Time\, a kind of DIY performance piece that encourages you to experience space\, movement\, other people\, the absence of other people … \nThe original version was a dance piece created at Tate Modern in 2009\, devised by the eminent choreographer and performed by the dancers of his company. The Tate’s Turbine Hall was filled with dozens of metal pendulums suspended from wire rope; the dancers used the pendulums as catalysts for movement\, their bodies reacting to the objects\, and each other\, as they moved through the field. Forsythe has commented that the work’s choreography is “based on observations; so the dancers are observing the room\, observing each other\, and producing conclusions or expressing their observations”. By conceiving the Turbine Hall as both ‘nowhere and everywhere at the same time’\, this performance sought to unleash the kinetic and metaphorical potentials of the space. \nThe No.2 version does not involve a specific choreography or indeed dancers as such. The field of moving pendulums is retained\, and visitors are invited to move through them at will. In doing so\, they effectively generate an infinite range of individual choreographies. As the Berklee puts it\, “The spectators are free to attempt navigation in this statistically unpredictable environment but are requested to avoid coming in contact with any of the swinging pendulums. This task\, which automatically initiates and alerts the spectator’s innate predictive faculties\, produces a lively choreography of manifold and intricate avoidance strategies …” \nThe piece is accompanied by two of Forsythe’s short films. Solo (1997) is a performance for the camera by Forsythe himself that has close-ups and rapid cuts of his twisting body contrasted with overhead shots that capture his movements across a starkly lit stage. Antipodes I/II (2006) consists of two videos shown on facing screens suspended at different heights; on the raised screen\, Forsythe attempts to hold on to a table attached to the ceiling\, while in the second video he moves between two tables resting on the floor. The result\, which apparently dramatises Forsythe’s childhood belief that someone traveling to the South Pole risked falling off the planet\, subverts the relationship between embodiment and gravity. \nShould be fun. The performance/installation/movement piece is open between 8 November and 18 December; you need to book a one-hour time slot between 10am and 8pm (there is a maximum of 50 people per time slot so you should get the one you want).

SUMMARY:Philip Mueller: The Black Flags of Medea
DESCRIPTION:Another excursion through the worlds of one of Carbon 12’s stars.  It’s a gathering of old and new people from paintings past\, featuring the Black Flamingo Sad Boys and the Naxos Racing Team; the work marks a fundamental stage in the journey that Mueller’s characters are undergoing. Unanswered questions loom large\, demanding resolution; the exhibition revolves around this search for meaning\, reflecting a period of introspection. \nMueller’s fascination with German Romanticism permeates his new compositions. Within the tableau of these scenic works sits Medea – a woman scorned\, a symbol of violent action turned into freedom. But Medea’s presence\, despite her tragic history\, is symbolic of renewal and the desire to rise again. Within the same frame\, a cowboy boot is escorted to its final resting place; its ‘death is a final farewell to the persona it once stood for .. \nTo 29 January. \n

SUMMARY:Roshanak Aminelahi: Faces of Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The second solo exhibition for Roshanak Aminelahi at Ayyam Gallery (the first was way back in 2017) illuminates the stories of women who navigated a male-dominated society and persevered through adversity. \nThe selected women come from diverse backgrounds\, spanning different generations\, continents\, and life paths; collectively\, they embody a universal story. Roshanak highlights a multitude of defining acts of courage\, including speaking up against racism\, enforcing political and environmental activism\, and normalising female leadership. \nAnd throughout the history of art\, women have consistently been fetishised and idolised for their physical form. In this show the artist deliberately hides their appearance and focuses solely on the beauty of their achievements and character. The women are still identifiable\, proving they have established themselves by fulfilling their roles as key personas in their respective journeys. \nTo 2 January. \nAbove: Roshanak Aminelahi Georgia O’Keeffe (2023)

SUMMARY:Lubna Chowdhary: Disjunctions
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition from an always interesting artist that foregrounds her distinctive disruption of material\, of tradition\, of expectations. Clay and ceramics constitute her principal media\, but she uses them to explore tensions between the handmade and the industrial\, the domestic and the urban\, ornamentation and minimalism. It’s a show of two contrasting movements: zooming out to consider structural contexts (of language\, for example\, or the built environment)\, then delving into the intricacies and minutiae of overlapping (machine-made) repetitions and (handmade) intuitions. The result is a show that revels in a succession of tensions\, disjunctions\, and upended dynamics. To 5 January. \nAbove: Lubna Chowdhary\, Sign 18 (2023)

SUMMARY:Nima Nabavi and Jason Seife: Duality
DESCRIPTION:New works by two artists working together in symbiosis – pairings of canvases that are mixed and matched (the precise dimensions of each canvas are the same) but not exact: the works are cousins\, not siblings. Geometry was the common ground\, “a call and response between Seife and Nabavi’s own particular approaches to how colour and form can be shaped” as the gallery puts it. \nTo 5 January. \nAbove: Nima Nabavi and Jason Seife\, Noon (2022) \n
