Idris Khan & Annie Morris: When Loss Makes Melodies
Let loose on Pitzhanger Manor, artistic couple Idris Khan and Annie Morris have used photography, sculpture, painting and embroidery to create works which interact with the 19th-century building's neo-classical architecture, and explore themes of loss and memory. Bespoke armchairs and bed linens by Morris can be found with her striking Stack sculptures, while Khan has made vinyl overlays for the manor’s windows.
Until 7 January 2024 at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, London
A Solo Show by Oliver Cook
You may remember that we quizzed carver Oliver Cook in our Spring/Summer 2023 issue, asking what draws him to working with alabaster. This simply-titled show at London's Flow Gallery sees him continue to use the translucent stone, combining it with dark Kilkenny limestone to create a series of monochromatic baskets, vases and sculptures – some pieces have even been made in pairs, intended to look like each other’s negative image.
7 October – 4 November at Flow Gallery, London
Crafted Selves: The Unfinished Conversation
Curated by social justice researcher and artist Cat Dunn, this group exhibition sees 13 Scottish artists examine the subject of dual identity. Through ceramics, textiles, installations, writings and more, their work reflects on the complexity of having two cultural heritages, and other personal conflicts. Adil Iqbal’s characterful fabric sandals are worth seeking out, as are Joy Baek’s clay works which address Korean culture and society.
14 October – 24 February 2024 at St Andrews Museum, Fife
