‘Listening’ | Baltic 39
‘A Million cm2 of Quiet Space II‘ Haroon Mirza 2003/14. Delighted to be associated with this and delighted it will be coming to Norwich. Sam Belinfante is a thoughtful curator and proof positive that the Hayward Curatorial Open is a very valuable opportunity for both venues and potential curators.
On Kawara | David Zwirner
Timelessness in art is a much vaunted quality, but On Kawara’s very fixing of this has made them simultaneously nostalgic and yet not ‘dated’. Unforgettable. Iconic.
Work of the week | #1 ‘Cire Perdu’
A work created around a decade ago; medicine cabinet containing cast bronze heart with magnetic compass embedded – hence ‘lost’ in the emotional, directional and process sense. Work in private collection. (c) Neil Powell 2004
Cheim & Read – Louise Bourgeois Gallery
This work still has the potency to provoke and perturb – what a rare gift. I remember seeing her work in Venice and it made me completely re-think materiality and the status of craft. As MacLuhen said, ‘Art is anything you can get away with’, but not in a cynical way, she normally did just enough.

Gerhard Richter – October 14 – December 20, 2014 – Marian Goodman Gallery.
Exquisitely executed and jaw-droppingly impressive in an equally sensational refurbished space. A must see.
