    MARLENE DUMAS: AGAINST THE WALL

    Museu Serralves, Porto, Portugal
    2 July – 10 October 2010

    The works in this exhibition have evolved primarily from media imagery and newspaper clippings documenting Israel and Palestine. However, Dumas’ representations acknowledge universal themes of instability, isolation, and the lack of communication, while moreover addressing the medium of painting and referencing the artist’s struggle with the boundaries of her chosen medium.

    BRIDGET SMITH: NOBODY ELSE EVEN KNOWS

    PEER, London, UK
    10 June – 31 July 2010

    This exhibition includes photographs and a film portrait that were produced in Tokomaru Bay on the remote eastern cape of the North Island of New Zealand. It focuses on the story of Mark, a former possum trapper who vividly recounts his earlier days of life in the bush – memories which are perhaps more sustaining than his current everyday reality.
