Dog Days II
Motinternational, London
Dawn Mellor: portraits which satirize celebrity and public figures; John Russell: spaces which are both unreal and hyperreal; Haegue Yang: sensorial installations and mobile structures.
MOTINTERNATIONAL London are pleased to present their second summer exhibition Dog Days II, with artists John Russell, Dawn Mellor and Haegue Yang.
Dawn Mellor (b.1970) considers the power of role play and the construction of identity in portraits which satirize celebrity and public figures as affected and irreverent versions of themselves. Recent exhibitions include What Happened to Helen, Focal Point, Southend-on-Sea, UK (solo: 2013) Are You Alright? New Art From Britain, The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto (2013) We Love Our Audience, Galerie Gabriel Rolt, Amsterdam (2012) Pigments, Peter Bergman, Stockholm (2012) and An Ecstasy of Purpose, Studio Voltaire, London (solo: 2010).
John Russell (b.1963) creates spaces which are both unreal and hyperreal; hypnotic far off worlds straddling staged fiction and the performed self, backgrounded by overcast apocalyptic seas. Recent exhibitions include The Hecklers, curated by Cedar Lewisohn, The New Art Gallery Walsall (2013) The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things curated by Mark Leckey, Nottingham Contemporary (2013) File Transfer Protocol, curated by Pil and Galia Kollectiv, Haifa Museum of Art, Israel (2012) and Jexus, MOTINTERNATIONAL, Brussels (solo: 2012).
Haegue Yang (b.1971) combines domestic and industrial materials to create sensorial installations and mobile structures. Her works address both political and historical narratives, whilst balancing more intimate relationships between objects and performers. Recent exhibitions include Family of Equivocations, Aubette 1928 and Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Strasbourg, France (solo: 2013) Ovals and Circles, Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris (solo: 2013) Dress Vehicles, The Tanks: Art in Action, Tate Modern, London, UK (solo: 2012) and Documenta (13), Kassel (2012).
