Standing Still
17 Nov - 16 Dec 2022
Ed Cross, London, UK
An exhibition of new work by Jamaican-born British artist Eugene Palmer. In Standing Still, Palmer presents paintings based upon two recent family celebrations: one the marriage of his youngest daughter, and the other a family reunion spanning four generations.
Fun Fact: Ed Cross was one of the first galleries to offer solely contemporary African art, opening his eponymous space in 2009
Is My Living In Vain
06 Oct - 18 Dec 2022
Gasworks, London, UK
Is My Living in Vain is a meditation on the continuing history and emancipatory potential of the Black church as a space of belonging, affirmation and community organising. Combining shot footage, oral histories and archive material from both sides of the Atlantic, the film follows a tangled thread of personal and collective memories to interrogate the church’s contribution to a Black radical tradition.
In The Wake Of A Glow
23 Nov - 16 Dec 2022
Webber Represents, London, UK
Discussing the exhibition and the spatial orientation of the works, Edwards returns not only to the light within the images, but also to the shadows which trace disruptions in its movement.
Photography UNSCENE
6 - 18 Dec 2022
The Muse Gallery, London, UK
UNSCENE - unseen work from iconic photographers Charlie Phillips and Eddie Otchere, spanning both extraordinary careers. The show runs until the 18th December with artist talks on Saturday 17th December, from 14:00 until 17:00.
Just For The Record
12 Dec - 16 Dec 2022
Simon Lee Gallery, London, UK
Just for the Record, Boyce’s inaugural exhibition with the gallery. The show which will include new work continues Boyce’s Devotional Project through several interpretations of appropriation: re-purposing the object; copying and possessing a stolen image, and re-configuring found imagery as an act of play.
The World We Make
12 Oct – 23 Dec 2022
Hauser & Wirth, London, UK
Amy Sherald, one of the defining contemporary portraitists in the United States, unveils a suite of new paintings in a major exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, marking the artist’s first solo show in Europe. Sherald is acclaimed for her paintings of Black Americans that have become landmarks in the grand tradition of social portraiture – a tradition that for too long excluded the Black men, women, families and artists whose lives have been inextricable from public and politicised narratives.
