SUMMARY:Fellow Travellers
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition conceived and curated by Prof Omar Kholeif\, featuring Sonia Balassanian\, Jai Chuhan\, Luísa Correia Pereira\, Lalitha Lajmi\, Irene Scheinmann and Omar Kholeif himself. \nDeveloped from nearly two decades of Kholeif’s research\, writing and relationships with artists\, the exhibition is an ambitious-sounding attempt to “re-dream the routes\, flows and counter-flows of modernity through the present”. As Kholief puts it: “Here\, the diasporic imagination is reclaimed\, illuminating the possibilities of shared movement—literal and metaphorical\, exploring how it affects artistic method. Fellow Travellers is a parcel\, a constitutive act of worlding\, of dreaming …” \nFellow Travellers brings landmark and rarely seen works from five artists into dialogue with Kholeif’s own paintings; painting is seen as a connective thread through which diasporic histories\, oral traditions\, symbolic languages and forms of ancestral knowledge can be recovered and reimagined. \nThe exhibition is accompanied by a limited-edition publication featuring original poetry and a curatorial essay. \nTo 30 November.

SUMMARY:Talal Moualla: The Table of Absence
DESCRIPTION:For more than five decades\, the Syrian artist\, poet\, and critic Talal Moualla has approached the image not simply as representation\, but (says the gallery) “as a form of thought … Moving between painting\, criticism\, poetry and research\, his practice asks how the visible can carry an idea\, shape consciousness\, and open new ways of understanding human existence. The Table of Absence brings this lifelong enquiry to one of its most distilled forms”. \nIn Moualla’s work\, the table is a symbolic structure\, a place where human beings recognise one another’s presence – “around it coexist memory and mourning\, intimacy and estrangement\, love and betrayal\, birth and death … Yet as the enquiry deepens\, even the table begins to disappear. It is reduced to a circle\, a plate\, a geometric sign\, a pale field\, until it approaches emptiness itself”. So “the image no longer delivers an answer; it becomes a way of thinking through the question”. \nTo 29 October.

SUMMARY:The Amy Winehouse Band
DESCRIPTION:It’s 20 years since Back to Black was released\, so there’s a reasonable hook for this performance by “the original musicians who performed alongside Amy on stages around the world and helped shape her distinctive sound both live and in the studio”. The show is organised by Dale Davis\, Amy Winehouse’s longtime bassist (he’s credited on some of Back to Black) and sometime musical director. We’re promised “an unforgettable celebration of Amy’s timeless songbook” with the Amy role going to “a powerful female vocalist personally selected by Dale Davis”.
