Two exhibitions

London,until 13/9/2009 Camden Arts Centre, Arkwright Road, Alexandre da Cunha / Johanna Billing Johanna Billing  I’m Lost Without Your Rhythm  Swedish artist Johanna Billing has been commissioned to make a new film which is the second project in the 3 Series; a collaboration between Camden Arts Centre, Modern Art Oxford and Arnolfini.  Shown alongside other work, this exhibition is Billing’s first major solo exhibition in a public gallery in London.  Johanna Billing’s videos reflect on routine, rehearsal and ritual with an emphasis on the fragility of individual performance and power of collective experience.  Her new work is based around the recording of a live performance of dance -learned’ or performed by amateur Romanian dancers in Iasi (pronounced -yash’), during Periferic 8 Biennial of Contemporary Art “Art as Gift” in October 2008.
Alexandre da Cunha  Laissez-Faire  Camden Arts Centre has commissioned London-based Brazilian artist Alexandre da Cunha to create a new sculptural installation for Gallery 3.  His dynamic, large-scale sculptures improvise on the concept of the readymade by reusing everyday objects: job lots from pound shops, surplus fabrics and recycled goods, reflecting on their specific histories and aesthetics.
