Exhibition Review - Michael Joo:'Radiohalo' Blain|Southern, London till 9th April 2016.
Mr Joo's intersections are measured and transformed in moon-bright wings. - Drenched Co.
Comment: "To me, everything Michael does starts with the alchemical magic of Lunar Caustic (silver is linked to the moon). For instance, silver nitrate stains and is used to measure salt, to make mirrors and to aid analysis, all of which are connected to Michael's practice - along with ideas around cycles, processes, energy, measurement and boundaries. As with silver ions and photography, science and art intersects with magic in Michael's work and he returns time and again to all manner of divides and boundaries, to investigate the nature of objects, places and people. Fabulous!" - JayZee

Exhibition Review - John Divola, Cyprien Gaillard, Beatrice Gibson, Michail Pirgelis, Daniel Turner: 'Under a falling sky' Laura Bartlett Gallery, London till 5th June 2016.
Under a falling sky,
Crack history into a wreckage of words.
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "For me, this show builds on the conversations around the brilliant 'Drawn by its own memory' exhibition at the same gallery earlier this year. See our review here. How do we make objects talk to us and tell us things that might surprise us? In this exhibition, Divola leads a star-studded cast into the Benjaminian and Heideggerian project that wants you to consider the thingness of things by tearing them out of their context. When unanchored, objects pose new questions and bring about interesting new reinterpretations as they direct our attention to slippages in the text inscribed on the 'countenance' of 'nature-history'. Divola's diptychs and Pirgelis' plane parts are especially intriguing. Fabulous!" - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Pamela Golden:'Charlie Don’t Surf' Marlborough Contemporary, London till 9th Jan 2016.
With Pamela, I am surrounded by hell's fire-rimmed circles of lovely terrors.- Drenched Co
Comment: "I see Pamela as the artist-naturalist Maria Merian. Instead of insects and Suriname, Pamela is on an expedition to our places of terror bringing men with their fiction of power and conquests together, and in the process, beautifying and neutralising them. And as surf dudes use their 'guns' to 'destroy' where charlie and perhaps the dodas don't surf, Pamela's napalm sumi-e brush sets everything ablaze. The visible pixels of the printed images are like scales of a reptile or insect appearing out of the painting and I am reminded of Merian who suggests art and nature will always conquer each other." - JayZee.

Exhibition Review - Rajinder Singh: 'Cage of Deliverance' Wei Ling gallery, Kuala Lumpur till 30th September 2016.
“Rajinder blends the limit of the traumatised body against the sweep of erasure."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "Rajinder builds spacious cages in his paintings, free to roam about in, their quiet tranquility oblivious to the trauma transcribed onto their very walls. This terrorising calligraphy, unseen yet obvious, forms a salient component in Rajinder's 'simulation cages', strapped onto life's limbs, lancing together an algorithmic representation of the self. And to me, cage and limb, lulled by incense and candlelight, seem to fade quietly away into their dark, cavernous surroundings. " - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Jeff Zilm:'SOME SCREEN MODS' Simon Lee Gallery, London till 1st April 2016.
Zilm's paintings are spore-baths
germinating new vectors
in ghostly directions. - Drenched Co.
Comment: "Zilm's paintings remind me of banged up reflective panels. But instead of the viewer, they reflect the noisy drama of Zilm's art. This is the ever so compelling 'transformission' from text (movie script), to performance, to technology (celluloid), back to theater (Zilm's purported process), to image and finally a return to text. To me, Zilm's emulsion dust is the noise added to a performance that adds to and remakes text or is taken away and suppressed by text. Wonderful!" - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Jiro Takamatsu at Stephen Friedman Gallery, London till Nov 14th 2015.
In Takamatsu-san's art,
of paper sliding doors,
his creased weighted shadows,
smudged halos, shards of light,
echoes a forgotten truth
in fiction, in restraint,
in quiet play, in incensed paint. - Drenched Co
Comment: "Takamatsu's art reminded me of shadows and halos and sharp bright lines of pale colored light in houses with 'fusuma' - paper partitions and sliding doors. His work has the wonderful quiet restraint without its tongue stapled to its heart that queries some unsettling deep seated questions about art and reality."- JayZee

Exhibition Review - Orla Barry:'Breaking Rainbows' Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin till 5th Nov 2016.
“Barry weaves bloodlines through her flock,
the oral and the written."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "For me, Barry explores the ideas behind true orality - when sequences of words and symbols are coloured by the presence of bodies and powered by breath and pulse. Her installation uses the oral event and the nonlinearity of oral thought processes to forefront relationships, movement and presence through her lived experiences as a sheep farmer and artist. Fabulous!" - FaSa

Exhibition Review - William McKeown: 'Cloud Cuckoo Land' Kerlin Gallery, Dublin till Nov 21st 2015.
In Cloud Cuckoo land, we are once again
in the presence of William McKeown, who,
laying siege to our senses,
hangs on a thread,
the hegemony of orange,
and the lure of distant light. - Drenched Co
Comment: "I imagine William McKeown on one of his long erstwhile walks relishing a conundrum - one that will make people think about what they see and the judgements their sight bestow upon the colour, the nooses, the birds and the attractive sky-filled 'windows' in his wonderfully constructed space. It is his most effective work. "- JayZee

Exhibition Review - Lisha Bai, Ryan Lauderdale, Hannah Levy, Michael Jones McKean, Wyatt Niehaus, Kate Steciw and Chris Wiley: 'Dense Mesh' Carroll / Fletcher, London till 25th May 2016.
What more a conduit but a promise of a connection,
for a harvest of life in glitched consonants;
what else is a thing suspended in action,
but an ordered world in still dissonance.
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "'Dense Mesh' is a brilliantly conceived show with some extraordinary young American artists bringing into question philosophies which privilege the human being over things. For such a project, Flusser is an apt choice. He does not speak of a yearning for a return back to a humanist past but suggests we accept our modern apparatuses and learn from and through them to a new measure of freedom. The artists in this show attempt in their own way to break into and subvert their programming to expand the agency of things and to give primacy to creative movements through processes, flows and transformations. And, by so doing, they bring back life to a world of things and free them from servitude. I loved loved Ryan Lauderdale's constructions!" - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Agathe de Bailliencourt:'Couleurs du temps' Blain|Southern, London till 23rd Jan 2016.
I have never been to Marfa, Texas,
but with Agathe, it's a nexus
between a brief run of diffusing stains,
and the words she hid in her canvas.- Drenched Co
Comment: "If it is a landscape that Agathe is painting, she is leaving her erstwhile expressive paintings of color planes and psychological interiors for a deceptively complex subject. But Agathe avoids the scourge of the mediocre, dissatisfying landscape painting by treating the surface of her canvas just enough to bring the texture of the canvas to leap out to her cause. Just as Marfa, Texas left a stain on her sight, Agathe has successfully transferred this irrational disorientation of her senses onto canvas by staining it, microscopically revealing, willing, each ridge, each bump, each knot to manifest their physical solidity to achieve the impossible. Best work she has done since Fumio Nanjo's 1st Singapore Biennale exhibition in 2006." - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Ann Cathrin November Høibo at Carl Freedman Gallery, London till 17th June 2017.
“November Høibo's lost stitches in a fistful of thread gathered in around the memories of a spool."- Drenched Co.
Notes: "November Høibo's weaves, slung across backs of chairs, draped across rails and stairs, fresh out of dark dusty closets, fill the room with the rustle of faint sighs. They have outlived their usefulness, memories of warmth and fullness; loose fists of tangles, reminders of a curve, a fit, an impression. Their stubborn excesses drive their weave and weft through gravity laden air, ballast that unravels but prevents them from falling out of our world , only further, deeper like a yearning that both shields you and drives you out of your skin. Loved 'My Friends 5'." - JayZee

Exhibition Review - Nina Canell, N. Dash, Simon Fujiwara, Lydia Gifford, Hayley Tompkins, Phillip Zach:'Drawn by its own memory' Laura Bartlett Gallery, London till 17th Jan 2016.
Melt down the shape of notions
and pour over the odd orbits of things,
weave in the agility of verbs,
where things slip into things.- Drenched Co
Comment: "The artists in this show, acutely aware that the thinging of things is elusive and not passively subservient to human will, are collaborating with their things to make art. How do they do this? First they don't think of things as inert- they celebrate the flow of things which are always already leaking, circulating and becoming. Second, they join in with the thinging of things, careful not to impose form upon it, merging and directing its flow while staying vigilant about its inherent leakiness. In short, these artists are joining forces with their material to reveal its thinging and to bring art into being. I loved N.Dash's new works." - Raj
