Kerry Tribe 'Dark Star Light'

17 July - 12 Sept, 2010

Arnolfini, London

Kerry Tribe presents her first major exhibition in Europe at Arnolfini this summer. Tribe's large-scale projects in film, video and sound form an ongoing investigation into memory, subjectivity and doubt. Dead Star Light consists of three works related to questions of personal and historical memory, and their converse, erasure and forgetting. The works Parnassius Mnemosyne, Milton Torres Sees a Ghost, and The Last Soviet take shape using different technology - 16mm film, reel-to-reel audio and video - and try to structurally engage with their media in innovative ways. Also presented here is a selectino of Tribe's existing works.

Jessica Stockholder

14 July - Feb, 2011

Reina Sofia, Madrid

One of the most influential sculptors of her generation Stockholder, in recent years, has fashioned installations that allow visitors to utilize them to their own ends. As "Peer out to See" demonstrates, these temporary constructions become places for casual conversations between locals and visitors, for improvised games, and for dalliance - in short, they are places to hang out, and give oneself over to the flow and flux. Whether in Madison Square Garden in Manhattan in 2009 (with "Flooded Chambers Maid"), or in the luminous Palacio de Cristal in Madrid's Buen Retiro Park, people drift and idle in similar ways as they make of their serendipitous encounters what they will. Deft explorations of the spatial, structural, social and cultural features of the given environment, Stockholder's most ambitious works leave room for the myriad needs of a shifting audience who may never know to what extent it has become an essential part of the play.
