Jayda G will release her debut album “Significant Changes” via Ninja Tune. Musically it’s a blend of vintage drum machine funk drawing heavily on Chicago’s house blueprint – as evidenced by new single ‘Leave Room 2 Breathe’ featuring vocals by life-long friend and frequent collaborator Alexa Dash.
Released 22nd March 2019
TweetSöderberg is well known for his intimate and monumental drawings and watercolor paintings on paper; meticulously executed figurative works referencing art history, philosophy and literature, and flowing atmospheric abstractions imbuing spirituality and existential queries. The new abstract paintings in this exhibition are executed with oil paints on canvas, composed from geometrical figures in a subdued palette contrasted with saturated brighter elements. Built slowly layer by layer, they have obtained an intense presence and ethereal sacred beauty, but also a lingering melancholy.
I stepped into an avalanche, it covered up my soul

A painter of erudite, questioning canvases in which topical content is tackled with various degrees of abstraction and metaphor, John Kørner has developed a wide-ranging practice that speaks beyond the boundaries of the painted image to include installations that transform the viewer’s experience of three-dimensional space. He is celebrated for his ongoing ‘problems’ – egg-shaped forms that appear in his paintings and as sculptures created in a variety of materials, sizes and colours, which allude not to specific problems per se but to the nature of problems as they emerge, are represented and comprehended in the world.
The title of this exhibition, the Danish artist’s fifth solo show at the gallery, refers to the things, physical, emotional, conceptual, that constrain us and the ways in which we attempt to outrun or overcome them. The accelerated pace of contemporary life is a conceptual touchstone across the two- and three-dimensional elements on view, which draw on ideas of altered states and the sublime in nature while investigating the aesthetics and codes of sport as both a competitive pursuit and a galvanising spectacle. For Kørner a social aspect is key, and the exhibition is conceived to invite camaraderie and participation, as well as alter notions of momentum and scale, as viewers move through the gallery space.

This is Linder’s first solo exhibition in London since 2011, and includes previously unseen and new photomontage works as well as a series inspired by Ithel Colquhoun’s ‘Mantic Stain’ technique. Linder’s exhibition at Modern Art coincides with her current project ‘Bower of Bliss’ at Southwark Station, commissioned by Art on the Underground, and follows her recent exhibitions at Nottingham Contemporary and Chatsworth House.
Following on from these large-scale and public projects, the exhibition marks a return to an intimate scale, as well as to her on-going concern with complicating commercially rendered expectations of normative gender roles. Here, she presents a series of collisions between portrayals of claustrophobic domestic interiors and clichéd representations of the ‘outdoors’. The sexually liminal and covert spaces behind closed doors are turned public.

Sarah and her young son Chris move to a new home in the Irish countryside, next to a forest that hides an enormous sinkhole. One night, Chris vanishes, and when he reappears, he seems unharmed and unchanged. But, as his behavior grows increasingly disturbing, Sarah begins to fear that the boy who has returned may not be her son at all.
