Graphology

Graphology explores a genealogy of automated drawing from a contemporary perspective. The scope of the exhibition reaches back to the beginning of the 20th century and includes artists working today to question the status and impact of a trace, produced through the interaction of man and machine. Under investigation are the techniques that translate direct experience into different forms of systematised representation, between the trace and the sign, between writing and drawing. Review by Gloriana Riggioni

Dan Holdsworth - Transmission: New Remote Earth Views

Dan Holdsworth appropriates topographical mapping data from The US Geological Survey to document the ideologically and politically loaded spaces of the American West in an entirely new way. What at first appear to be pure white snow-capped mountains or perhaps the surface of the moon are in fact digitally rendered laser scans of the earth - ‘terrain models’ used to measure climate and land change - to measure the earth and man’s effect upon it.

Yto Barrada: RIFFS

Yto Barrada’s photographs, films, publications, installations and sculptures engage with the everyday life and times of Tangier, her hometown situated on the Strait of Gibraltar. The title of the show, RIFFS, simultaneously refers to the musical term, to the Cinéma Rif, home of the Cinémathèque de Tanger which Barrada directs, and to the nearby Rif mountains, a stronghold of anti-colonial insurgency in Morocco.

Stelios Karamanolis: Great Moments in History

It is a question that arises boldly in Stelios Karamanolis’s solo show at Christina Androulidaki’s CAN gallery in Athens, in which two canvases form a conceptual centrepiece...
