SUMMARY:Material Worlds: Contemporary Artists and Textiles
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is in partnership with Hayward Touring. \nAttenborough Arts Centre presents ‘Material Worlds: Contemporary Artists and Textiles’\, an ambitious group exhibition exploring how artists are using textiles in surprising and radical ways. Illuminating the diverse roles textiles play in contemporary artistic practice\, the exhibition brings together artists who take the intimate and domestic quality of textiles and transform them into theatrical\, bold\, unsettling and humorous artworks that inspire\, challenge and offer new ways of thinking. \nFeaturing work created predominantly over the last decade by 13 UK-based artists\, Material Worlds highlights their deep awareness of textiles’ cultural history and a shared desire to challenge its traditional associations\, testing the material’s expansive and subversive potential. The familiar fabric of everyday life is reimagined into the unexpected—the ordinary made extraordinary—to reflect on ideas of gender\, identity\, community\, race\, technology\, and myth\, demonstrating the medium’s potential to transform in the hands of different artists. \nArtists featured in the exhibition include Caroline Achaintre\, Jonathan Baldock\, Phyllida Barlow\, Marc Camille Chaimowicz\, Alexandre da Cunha\, Holly Hendry\, Tonico Lemos Auad\, Paul Maheke\, Anna Perach\, Yelena Popova\, Paloma Proudfoot\, Yinka Shonibare\, Rae-Yen Song\, Tenant of Culture and Zadie Xa. \n  \nImage: Phyllida Barlow\, untitled: canvasracks; 2018-2019.

SUMMARY:Jemisha Maadhavji
DESCRIPTION:Attenborough Arts Centre is proud to present a new major solo exhibition by acclaimed portrait artist Jemisha Maadhavji. \nThe exhibition will celebrate Jemisha’s vision of luxury\, defined by her as a ‘flawless connection with nature’\, in which highly detailed portraiture meets ornamentation. Jemisha will present a show of oil paintings as a form of installation\, spanning recent works and newly commissioned pieces. \nJemisha’s distinctive style has earned national attention through TV coverage on BBC One Extraordinary Portraits and exhibitions at Nottingham Castle and with Bloomberg New Contemporaries.
