Exhibition of the week: Lisa Munnelly

The artist is interested in providing a ‘temporal and corporeal account of the drawing process’; that is, in investigating the relationship between drawing, time and the body. These are works which acknowledge that seeing takes time; the title of the exhibition refers not only to the work involved in their conception and realisation, but also to the physical experience of seeing them. Rather than re-present an image or idea, according to the practice of conventional drawing, these works operate in the immediate tense, to present energy, time and space on visual terms.

Compelling, mesmerising... pure poetry. Don't miss out on her performance films too.

Ursula Mayer @ City Gallery

Don't miss out the brilliant Austrian artist and filmmaker Ursula Mayer at The City Gallery, with Art in the Auditorium.

Ursula Mayer works primarily with film and photography. Her films are shot in interiors, often using iconic architectural locations, and focus on the interaction of female figures. Her films show the interweaving of space and time as well as the seduction of the image as the essence of film and cinema. She explores performative staging and perception patterns in photography and film, referencing popular music, avant-garde and classical hollywood films as well as architecture.

Her latest showings included ICA, LUX, Whitechapel Gallery...
