Brutalust: Celebrating Southampton’s Post-War Architecture
Writer Owen Hatherley has nominated a number of post-war buildings in Southampton to be the subject of the latest exhibition at K6 Gallery. The two repurposed red telephone boxes will exhibit the resulting photographic works by Greg Moss, James Newell and Daniel Cane (pictured above), alongside an accompanying booklet. A talk by Hatherley on the city’s post-war architecture will also take place on Sunday 10 January at nearby St Joseph’s Church Hall.
10 January – 7 April 2016, K6 Gallery, The Phone Boxes, Castle Way, Southampton.

Fugue State
Artists Jack Carberry-Todd (pictured above) and Rhys Morgan present paintings, collage, audio and video works in this exhibition at Ocean Studios. These disorientating and emotive pieces consider individual identity and desire within abstracted architectural landscapes and psychological environments.
Until 29 January 2016, Ocean Studios, Royal William Yard, Plymouth.

Slippery & Amorphous
Curated by Wendy Saunders and Paula MacArthur, this exhibition presents work by ten painters that evoke the relationship between paint as a medium – its elusive slippery malleability – and the, at times, illusive content of the resulting painting. Referencing a passage from Rosa Lee’s 2003 essay, Threads, the exhibition considers the notion of pure interpretation within this exploration of the medium’s codes and languages that are “by their very nature, slippery and amorphous”.
11 January – 26 March 2016, The Crypt, 17 Marylebone Road, London NW1.

The Names
Presenting the art of the artist’s signature, this exhibition references the art world games and unspoken rules that have led to these inscriptions becoming a concealed indicator for those in the know. The show considers the way that artists, including Alex Pear (pictured above), reclaim, reframe and subvert this marker of identity.
16 January – 6 February 2016, Transition Gallery, Regent Studios, London E8.

SURVEILLANCE
Patrick Lowry will be exhibiting a full-size drone in Cheltenham’s Hardwick Gallery. The first five days will see Lowry work directly in the gallery space, with an open door policy to members of the public interested in witnessing and discussing the construction process of this replica General Atomics MQ-1 Predator drone. A discussion on 21 January will see Lowry joined by author Chris Woods (Sudden Justice: America’s Secret Drone Wars) and artist Theo Price, whose project COBRA Res assembles a parallel meeting each time the government’s emergency response committee meet.
11 January – 5 February 2016, Hardwick Gallery, Hardwick Campus, St Paul’s Road, Cheltenham.
