An exhibition featuring Colombian, English and Danish artists Ivan Argote, Abigail Reynolds and the collective A Kassen. The works presented the exhibition engage with the use and manipulation of artefacts and the artists explore social experiences alongside a reflection on the status of the artwork.

From interventions which playfully and subversively address the public to sculptural compositions reflecting on cultural memories, the objects here play with their classification and reinvent themselves through actions such as dematerialization, rematerialzation and interconnexion.

‘I’ve looked up to heaven and been down to hell’ Chris Bracey’s first solo UK exhibition. The exhibition brings together a selection of new works dealing with themes of heaven and hell.

Bracey learnt how to manufacture and design neon signs at an early age. Inspired by the vibrancy and kitsch character of the Soho area in London during the 1970s, Bracey was confident that his designs for the signs would bring a fresh sense of glamour and intrigue to the area. The work went from strength to strength with every Soho club owner wanting Bracey’s magic touch to revitalize their venues.

When you approach the gallery there’s a site-specific window installation of a dagger smashing through the window into a neon heart. Bracey provides an immersive experience for the viewer playfully creating a sense of theatricality that raises questions about morality, spirituality and roles within society.

John Armleder has been a key figure on the contemporary art scene since the early 1970s and, despite the fact that critics, younger artists and the market have widely acknowledged his influence, he remains a difficult figure to define or classify within a movement.

The Dairy Art Centre is celebrating its opening with a tribute to this artist, staging the largest ever solo exhibition in the UK. The exhibition presents a vast array of different media and alternates works made specifically for the occasion with those from the collections of Frank Cohen and Nicolai Frahm.

In continuing our exploration and presentation of important Japanese photography, Michael Hoppen Gallery will this year stage major solo shows of two of its grand masters: Nobuyoshi Araki and later in the year, Miyako Ishiuchi. Each an artist with a unique vision and aesthetic, both producing highly charged work in examining the sensitive subjects of that society.

Araki is the king of provocation. In a very particular – and arguably peculiar – way he has made the subject his own. And here we celebrate those images from his most controversial body of work, Kinbaku, the Japanese art of bondage. Kinbaku-bi meaning literally the beauty of tight binding. And yes, though strong and offensive to some, disturbing to others, the pictures are often beautiful.

The Stalin quote in the title sets the tone for this show, an often humorous look at Russia which doesn’t shy away from confronting the country’s darker elements.

Young and emerging artists rub shoulders with established figures in the Saatchi Gallery’s first display dedicated to Russian art.

One of the highlights of the exhibition is Boris Mikhailov’s Case History, a series of 413 photographs documenting the disintegration of his local community following the break-up of the Soviet Union.

The exhibition’s title, ‘mindfuck’, is a slang term that may be used as both a noun and verb, situation and action. It can mean to brainwash or manipulate someone, or describe a distressing situation or incomprehensible event.

A ‘mindfucker’ is anyone who makes a living by playing with the heads of a clientele, be it a guru, a psychoanalyst, a prostitute, or an artist.
