4, Rue Des Matelots
Arles        July, 2013

Held in the studio of one of the participating artists, 4, Rue Des Matelots drew upon the work of three artists in Arles, France. The exhibition coincided with the city’s annual photographic festival, Les Rencontres d’Arles, and in response to this the selected artwork was based around experimentation in photography.
Nicola Noemi Coppola showed Chimiographies. Salin de Giraud, an artist’s book and a video piece that explores the landscape around La Carmargue. Katherine Di Turi presented a selection of images that take Erna Lendvai-Dircksen´s 1932 book of portraits as their starting point; and Rafael Serrano exhibited photographs of assemblages created from elements from his surroundings, captured at different moments of the day.
This exhibition was possible thanks to the kind support of Rafael Serrano.

Astúries, 15
Barcelona        April, 2013

For Astúries 15, two artists showed recent work in a private residence in Barcelona. Blanca Haddad and Mike Swaney exhibited pieces that explored the effect of the urban space upon its inhabitants.

The subjects in Blanca Haddad's paintings both invite us to identify with them as well as challenge us to judge them. For Astúries 15, Blanca showed a series of work that develops her narrative style through portraiture.

Mike Swaney's practice is based around observations of the actions and daily habits of others, focusing on the absurd rituals that permeate urban existence. For this exhibition Mike presented a series of portraits and abstract collage on paper, as well as some studies for imagined performances.

This show was possible thanks to the generosity of Blanca Haddad.

The exhibition was possible thanks to the kind support of Brompton Design District and South Kensington Estates.
