Isa Genzken, Installation view, Hauser & Wirth
Genzken believes that sculpture must have a certain relation to reality.
The stacked assemblages reference the column, a recurring motif within her work.
Mismashing materials, Genzken explores the concept of using domestic, inanimate objects in art.

Exhibiting at the Barber Institute, West Midlands
Michelle Taylor destroys pieces of china through processes such as sandblasting, cutting and drilling, fabricating the missing elements with vintage paper and textile processes, such as print, stitch and knit. The reconstruction and deconstruction of the work juxtaposes the harsh industrial processes of sandblasting and drilling with the peaceful, precise act of sewing.

The Boyle family do not exclude anything as a potential subject matter. It is, however, the minimal use of artist invention, especially within their ‘Earth Pieces,’ that resonates with elements of my own practice.
The Boyle family aim to make the viewer look at reality with the same attention we devote to art, while suggesting and offering new interpretations of the environment.
