Karen Grainger's latest exhibition Re: Landscape is currently on show at the Viewfinder Gallery, Greenwich, London.

Porfolio: A State of Silence
"The Lithuanian papers wrote that it
was a "Painful misfortune (a catastrophe)", when the Head of Government
Security died.
Albinas Serpytis died in the early
hours of the 13th of October 2001, in a "car accident".
No one seemed to know the details,
or circumstances, or provide straightforward answers. His death was
premeditated and brutal.
All that remains is silence,
unknown circumstances. Hidden motivations. A chilling absence.

'Invocation of My Demon Brother', 1969 (film still)

Sprueth Magers Berlin London
Sprüth Magers London is delighted to present an
exhibition of work by the legendary filmmaker and artist Kenneth Anger in his first
solo show in London for five years. Making films continuously since the late
1940s and considered a countercultural icon, Kenneth Anger is widely acclaimed
as a pioneering and influential force in avant-garde cinema. His groundbreaking
body of work has inspired cineastes, filmmakers and artists alike. Many
channels of contemporary visual culture, from queer iconography to MTV,
similarly owe a debt to his art.
As part of its continued hosting of
the Deutsche Börse
Photography Prize the Photographer's Gallery in London will be
holding a series of conversations with the shortlisted photographers in March: Anna Fox, Zoe Leonard, Sophie Donovan Wylie Ristelhueber and Donovan Wylie. The exhibition begins at the Photographers Gallery on 12th February
2010.
