SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE The importance of staying quiet: Fahd Burki II.a
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, an exhibition was held in Hong Kong under the title The importance of staying quiet; conceived by Saira Ansari and Umer Butt\, it was an attempt to find a minimal vocabulary within Pakistani art. A decade later\, The importance of staying quiet returns as a year-long dialogic exchange between Butt and Ansari as a series of presentations shaped through discursive encounters. This time\, the programme will examine the development of practices that have deliberately engaged minimal or abstract strategies. \nFahd Burki II.a\, the fourth exhibition in The importance of staying quiet\, extended the dialogue initiated through painting in Fahd Burki I via works on paper\, canvas\, and wood\, pulling through the two-dimensional language in shift towards 3D. The works on display here turn toward contour\, elevation\, and depressions\, explored through both actual and implied relief; “from the surface outward\, the edges crawl\, fold around the frame\, and consolidate into a single wooden form that anchors the centre of the presentation. The remaining tonally minimal\, monochromatic works hold the space in a light yet concentrated tension …” \nThe final presentation in the series\, Fahd Burki II.b will move fully into the three-dimensional; it opens on 16 May.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Lala Rukh II: The importance of staying quiet
DESCRIPTION:The first part of this series\, Lala Rukh I\, presented a selection of photographs from the artist’s archives during her years at the University of Chicago (1974-76). Its speculative framework helped us to stage the evolution of Lala’s photographic sensibility\, as she refined her sense of composition\, framing\, and perception. This second exhibition of The importance of staying quiet completes the two-part observational inquiry into Lala Rukh’s photographic practice\, showing how it moved toward abstraction. The exhibition builds parallels across different bodies of work\, tracing how Lala both used and broke down photographic technique\, the visual\, and the conceptual into photo-documentation\, unique photo works\, video\, and drawing.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Lala Rukh: The importance of staying quiet
DESCRIPTION:The first exhibition of the new iteration of The importance of staying quiet\, a survey of Pakistani art\, features photographic archives from Lala Rukh’s years at the University of Chicago (1974-76). It includes early works that carry a cinematic sense of composition before arriving at her later language of minimal abstraction\, revealing the sharpening of her framing and the intent of her gaze\, \nUnlike her formal exhibitions\, the Chicago photographs are not minimal or abstract. They contain architecture\, people\, animals\, objects\, and most importantly\, construct narratives; the ‘set’ and direction recall filmic technique. These photos document Lala’s new surroundings and influences as she encountered the art\, music\, and politics that encouraged experimentation …

SUMMARY:Karolina Krasouli: Arodo
DESCRIPTION:Karolina Krasouli presents a series of new and old works\, paintings\, drawings\, sketches and photographs that explore the intersection of abstraction and figuration. Through a process of reading and writing\, she extracts a set of operations for ‘rewriting’ meanings and sensations as a novel language.  These works are produced in a meditative process reached through repetition\, “prolonged to an extent that they contain time”. Most of them are detached from any recognizable references to the physical world. The viewer may stand in front of them as in front of a visual field\, creating continually a different relationship between proximity and distance. \nTo 7 November.
