This week Thames and up to Hackney. Then Regent’s Canal to Limehouse.

351
Samson Kambalu at Kate MacGarry with an exhibition of situationist documents rephotographed in the Yale College Library.

Thilo Heinzmann at Carl Freedman Gallery with bright pigmented gestures on aluminium sheets that are highly resistant to the cuts that have been made to them.

Paolo Gioli at Wilkinson Gallery. It’s a camera! This show archives the three basic cameras used by the artist. Who needs a lens when a hole will do? As for a film feed, why not just give it a tug? On show mainly are the resulting experimental films and screen prints.

Checked out the galleries in the East. Portraits from Paul P, shiny surfaces in a group show called The Green Ray and Becky Beasley shows a carefully repaired drawer. Philipp Timischl has a delicate installation and finally some East End meters.
131 Turville Street near Brick Lane has these openly exposed gas meters that are an ever-changing prop in various works of street art.

132 Renee So at Kate MacGarry. The smoke plume mirrors the Assyrian beard in this tapestry. The figure is boot-like as a recurring motif.

133 Paul P at Maureen Paley.

134 Signed in at Laura Bartlett this morning about 12.25! This artefact is in the gallery itself.

135 Becky Beasley at Laura Bartlett. The drawer artwork is being fixed by her partner about whom the show is partly based.

136 Philipp Timischl at Vilma Gold. Good show.

137 Juliette Boneviot in The Green Ray at Wilkinson Gallery, which is also her gallery. The show is based on a rare 5 second (or so) phenomenon whereby the red setting sun appears green due to a sudden change in …. something!

138 A door on Vyner Street near Wilkinson Gallery.

139 Anna Barriball of Frith Street Gallery in The Green Ray, a show at Wilkinson Gallery. Thickly layered graphite on paper looks like a leaded sunday window.

At The Approach. The penny has dropped! Helen Appel’s #canvasdeposits are actually painted! In this show curated by Jack Lavender her work strongly portrays the theme of detritus in domestic settings.

Synaesthesia is the subject for Daria Martin at Maureen Paley Gallery. However she is interested in a stronger type called Mirror-touch Synaesthesia. People can actually feel a touch when they see it experienced by another.

Making my way back from the Approach. There were two cats boarding their ship at The Limehouse Basin.
