THOMAS SCHÜTTE: EARLY WORKS
Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein (Travelling from the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, UK)
1 February - 20 April 2008

This exhibition focuses on Schütte's lesser-known early work. The artist himself has designated the space of time from 1975 to 1980 as a particular research period in his career during which, as a student in Gerhard Richter's painting class, he gradually found his way to sculpture.

Schütte's research is characterised by a number of features, including self-depiction, clear rules and regulations, order patterns and permutations, and by a conceptual approach regarding the spatial context in which the work is presented, the contest between illusion and function, the disparity between inside and outside, and the interest in the mise-en-sc�ne.

Thomas Schütte's sculpture Model for a Hotel 2007 is currently on view on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square.

Curated by the artist herself and Emma Bedford from South Africa, this exhibition and its related publication are conceived as a homecoming, giving audiences in Dumas' native land in-depth insights into her extraordinary oeuvre through a broad selection of work, ranging from early conceptual pieces to very recent paintings and drawings dealing with contemporary global issues.

MASSIMO BARTOLINI: MAXXI: DIALOGUES WITH THE CITY
MAXXI, Rome, Italy
12 February - 30 March 2008

MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st Century Art, has been designed by Anglo-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid and is the first museum in Italy dedicated to contemporary art and architecture. In the first in a series of events and projects prior to the museum's opening in Spring 2009 Massimo Bartolini has created a light installation for the building's fa�ade. The opened was marked by groups of lamps rumbling, falling and hanging from the building revealing in the remaining lights the words, Anche oggi niente (Nothing today too).

Bartolini's work always has strong links with its location. His work transforms our way of thinking, stimulating our imagination and making us see our surroundings in a completely new way. Here he articulates the museum space within the city of Rome itself.

Bartolini will have a solo exhibition at Frith Street Gallery from
2 May - 27 June 2008.

27 - 30 March 2008

Frith Street Gallery will once again take part in The Armory Show Art Fair in New York where we will exhibit major works by Polly Apfelbaum, Fiona Banner, Anna Barriball, Massimo Bartolini, Dorothy Cross, Tacita Dean, Craigie Horsfield, Callum Innes, Cornelia Parker, John Riddy, Thomas Schütte, Dayanita Singh, Bridget Smith, Annelies Strba and Juan Uslé.
