Julia Moore and Ute Kreyman

Wiebke Morgan Gallery, London

New work including painting, video, sculpture and sound installation

Julia Moore is an artist known for her invention of multiple fictitious personalities, through which much of 'her' own art is created. In her new show at the Wiebke Morgan Gallery she takes her exploration of authorship and authenticity further by re-presenting (as herself) 'earlier works' by her imaginary selves, translating them in form, scale and meaning. A tiny page of a fictional mail-order catalogue becomes a textile wall-hanging (simultaneously bizarre and banal), a 'lost' sculpture becomes a painting, via a performance on video, and other darkly comic text-based canvases are presented as paintings of garments by yet another of Moore's dramatis personae.

In our basement space we're presenting a site-specific installation by Ute Kreyman, which brings together the project of creating "an environment of ultimate perfection" in the least promising of spaces, and a (Wittgenstinian) investigation of our "understanding" of a language we don't understand. This second element, a part of the everyday experience of living in a world city, was sparked by the "small cans wrapped in flamboyantly coloured paper, depicting proud men and snow-covered tops of mountains", with writing in a language not known to the artist or her Asian friends, that she found in the basement before the gallery's opening last year.

Godwin works across a variety of media, including photography, video, digital image-making, sculpture and drawing.
