Jock McFadyen

Made in Hackney – Jock McFadyen
Fleming Collection
17 july – 17 october 2012
A major survey exhibition of four decades of work by Jock McFadyen, the Scottishborn, East London-based painter, who in recent years has concentrated on powerful urban landscapes, is to be be held at The Fleming Collection at 13 Berkeley Street, London W1 from 17 July to 17 October 2012. The show’s title Made in Hackney reflects the fact that many of the pictures were painted in McFadyen’s studio in London Fields, Hackney regardless of whether they portray scenes in London, France or Scotland. “Most people think that the artist has to be there but any large painting by any artist must be done in a studio,” says McFadyen.

A World of Glass at Camden Arts Centre

Nathalie Djurberg with music by Hans Berg: A World of Glass
Camden Arts Centre
07 October 2011 – 8 January 2012
The animated films Djurberg is best known for are made with a technique referred to as ‘claymation’. Though at first the work appears to be playfully naïve, the scenarios enacted are often disturbing, uncovering taboos or difficult aspects of the human condition such as vulnerability, desire and suffering. A World of Glass consists of four new synchronised films with a soundtrack produced by Djurberg’s collaborator Hans Berg, presented amongst an immersive installation of glass-like objects. Another new installation will flood the central space with luminous colour, and a series of earlier animations will be shown in the Reading Room.
