Events: stock market algorithms, obsolete objects and experimental film

Dear Shareholder
Fabio Lattanzi Antinori borrows from the language, algorithms and code of the stock market to create interactive installations and conceptual pieces that hint at divine power and collapse. These might be pens featuring a poetic reworking of a letter to shareholders or an operatic interactive work that uses sensors to activate singing voices, cascading and conflicting in ways that parallel the market’s ups and downs. This solo show is curated by Bar Yerushalmi.
Until 28 January 2016, THE RYDER Projects, 19a Herald Street, London E2.

Obsolete Desire
Lisa McKendrick curates a group exhibition of seven artists whose works incorporate objects, materials or methods that are no longer in regular use. From Jon Purnell’s use of digital software to create expressionist-style paintings to McKendrick’s own use of slide collections and home video footage within her paintings. The show also includes sound work, drawing and installation.
15-28 December 2016, 11 Market Way, Poplar, London E14.

Tamed by spectacle – the opaqueness of image
The artist Juheon Cho is interested in how mass media has created a spectacle of imagery, separating us from reality and influencing how people respond to real-life disasters. With a specific focus on nuclear disasters, her paintings and propaganda posters use irony and sarcasm to suggest a contemporary detachment from empathy.
Until 18 December 2016, The Muse at 269 Gallery, London W11.

Habitats
Twelve members of the Hertfordshire-based makers group Alloy Jewellers have each taken a section of a poem by local writer Omar Majeed as the starting point for their participation in this group exhibition. Majeed’s flowing narrative on countryside creatures and their habitats has inspired a varied range of figurative, abstract and wearable items.
Until 7 January 2016, The Courtyard Centre for the Arts, Edgar Street, Hereford.
