En Plein Air
Vulnerable works not commonly seen outdoors, such as paintings, photographs, books and works made with paper, will be presented in this intriguing ‘high risk’ exhibition. The show aims to explore the unpredictability of space and time by presenting and pitting artworks that explore landscape within an unfamiliar location – an umbrella may be required.
5-8 September 2015, Mecklenburgh Square, entrance east gate, London WC1.

Images taken from an array of sources, whether news footage, found photographs or Poweroint presentations, become abstracted and reconfigured to suggest new mythologies and fictions.
12 September – 11 October 2015, Transition Gallery, Regent Studios, London E8.
