SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Sarah McEneaney: Creative Non-Fiction
DESCRIPTION:For nearly five decades\, Sarah McEneaney has devoted her practice to a singular theme\, the meticulous chronicling of her own life. This exhibition presents a series of paintings that chart the latest moments and milestones in a life – domestic interiors\, intimate self-portraits\, her studios\, her animals\, her neighbourhoods\, travels\, and community spaces. “I like to think that I’m describing a life that other people can enter into\, with their own stories\,” she says.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE John Dilg: Found and Lost
DESCRIPTION:The Iowa-based artist John Dilg represents scenic panoramas as earth-toned paintings that feel immediately familiar yet poignantly dreamlike. Having specialised in abstraction early in his career\, Dilg’s evolution towards landscape painting retained an especial awareness of spatial relationships – “a consciousness of the physical and allusory [sic] weight of forms and structures\,” as the gallery puts it. “His landscapes transcend scenery\, becoming a lexicon of objects\, each powerfully charged with memory and meaning. Dilg’s paintings are wonderfully contemplative spaces\, where solitude and recognition coexist\, evoking our shared longing for meaning within nature’s vastness …”

SUMMARY:Shezad Dawood: Skin of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Shezad Dawood’s 25-year career spans painting\, textiles\, sculpture\, ceramics\, film\, performance and digital media. Fascinated by ecologies and architecture\, his work connects art\, science\, music\, environmentalism and technology to explore both alternative histories and futures\, through a process of continuous world-building expressed as an explosion of colour and multi-layered narratives; and that should make this first mid-career retrospective of the artist a must-visit. The exhibition\, which is curated by Jessica Cerasi\, features more than 40 works including painting\, sculpture\, monumental film installations\, and interactive virtual reality experiences – with more artworks being introduced gradually during the exhibition’s run\, which should repay multiple visits (it’s on till mid-September). Running alongside is a series of workshops on the themes of the exhibition. \nTo 20 September. \nAbove: Shezad Dawood\, Anselm Chapel\, Tokyo (2016)

SUMMARY:PowerPointless Networking Night
DESCRIPTION:One of the most consistently funny of the Courtyard’s classic improv gigs: the speakers have to give a presentation on a slide deck they’ve never seen before\, with the topic determined at random by the Wheel of Destiny. Each presentation will be rated by a panel of judges and the winner applauded as the PowerPointless champion. Afterwards there’s a chance to mingle with the presenters and the Courtyard’s Corporate Team (and a chance to find out more about the Courtyard’s Corporate Academy). \nIt’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist via the website. It’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n
