Ikon Gallery, London
Clare Rojas
We They, We They
February 2 - March 21, 2010
Exhibition opening: Tuesday 2 February, 6-8pm.
Ikon presents the first UK museum exhibition by American artist Clare Rojas. Best known for her folk-inspired work, Rojas uses a wide range of media, including painting, installation and print-making, with a smart sense of humour, to make observations on gender relations and representation.
Characteristically made using flat blocks of colour, betraying her origins as a printmaker, Rojas’ paintings are filled with subjects and iconography
from fables and tales. Narratives are woven throughout; works such as Sun Poppies (2009) provide a romantic view of her female characters in the natural world, in contrast to the darker undertones of Ladies Bleeding to the Sky (2009).
Ikon’s exhibition comprises much new work and marks a recent shift in Rojas’ practice. Flower and Chair and Red Hooded Man and Baby Star (both
2009) show domestic interiors either devoid of inhabitants or occupied by a lone figure. Architecture and people morph into increasingly abstracted conglomerations of pattern while evoking a range of symbolic associations. Similarly Rojas’ paintings act as components in larger installations, the walls of the gallery covered by a patchwork of painted panels akin to quilting, or hung in rows from peg rails. These assemblages combine to recall references from West Coast Modernism to Native American or Latino craft,
outsider art and street graffti.
Rojas’ work is also displayed in Ikon’s Tower Room where paintings on antique banjos bring together her musical and literary interests.
This exhibition is supported by Magnolia Editions, Oakland and is organized in collaboration with the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, San Francisco.

SPATIAL CITY: THE ARCHITECTURE OF IDEALISM
Spatial City: The Architecture of Idealism is an art exhibition inspired by the theoretical architecture of Yona Friedman. Friedman's work, created in the aftermath of World War II (Friedman fled his native Hungary, arriving in Paris via Israel), has influenced a generation of French thinkers and conceptual artists, who respond to his drawings as philosophical constructs worthy of exploration, explication and confrontation. With an emphasis on French contemporary art, Spatial City brings together an international, multi-generational array of artists whose work contends with idealism, utopian thinking and, in counterpoint, the cynicism that follows failed revolution and the confrontation of optimism with pragmatic reality. Beginning with Friedman's "La Ville Spatiale" drawings of the 1960's, the exhibition includes the sculpture, video and installation work of Lida Abdul, Absalon, Lara Almarcegui, Elisabeth Ballet, Jeff Carter, Jordi Colomer, François Dallagrét, Peter Downsborough, Philippe Durand, Jimmie Durham, Didier Fuiza Faustino, Séverine Hubard, Guillaume Leblon, Didier Marcel, Rita McBride, François Morellet, Sarah Morris, Juan Muñoz, Phillippe Ramette, Kristina Salamoukha, Tatiana Trouvé, herman de vries, Stephen Wetzel and others.
The work in the exhibition is drawn from the French regional contemporary art collections (the FRAC) and was developed with the assistance of Platform (Regroupement des Fonds régionaux d'art contemporain et structures assimilées) and CulturesFrance. Spatial City will visit three architecturally-rich Midwestern cities, originating at the Institute of Visual Arts (Inova) in Milwaukee (February 5 - April 18, 2010) and traveling to the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago (May 23 - August 8, 2010) and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (September-December, 2010). (Exhibition sites in France to be announced.)
