More Dark Than Shark

Michel Faber

Pinter, le Carré, Eno and others demand an end to war. "The justification for the invasion of Iraq was that Saddam Hussein possessed a highly dangerous body of weapons of mass destruction, some of which could be fired in 45 minutes, bringing about appalling devastation. We were assured that was true. It was not true. We were told that Iraq had a relationship with Al Qaeda and shared responsibility for the atrocity in New York of September 11, 2001. We were assured that this was true. It was not true. We were told that Iraq threatened the security of the world. We were assured it was true. It was not true."-Harold Pinter, Art, Truth and Politics Prominent musicians, playwrights, scientists and writers look at how public opinion is wilfully ignored, and "democracy" used as a figleaf for US imperial ambitions in the Middle East. Not One More Death examines the record of US and UK troops in Iraq, questions Bush and Blair's position under international law, and considers the responsibilities of artists, writers and the wider public in a time of war and occupation.

'I started playing with light as a medium at about the same time I started playing with sound when a teenager.' In 2016 Paul Stolper Gallery in London presented an installation of seven light music boxes by the artist, musician and composer Brian Eno. This new exhibition of lightbox works explores the themes that inform and inspire Eno's particular vision of light and time manipulation. As the artist puts it, 'I have been trying to slow music down so it becomes more like painting, and to animate paintings so they become more like music.' Brian Eno's 'Light Music' uses lightboxes to seamlessly phase through an infinite combination of seductive self-generated 'colourscapes' using a series of interwoven LED lights, each accompanied by a unique musical composition. By extending temporal boundaries with a work that seemingly has no beginning or end, no finality, Eno 'encourages people to stay in one place for a while.' Alongside the light works are two lenticular works, 'Center Decenter' and 'Tender Divisor', which use a medium by which lenses give his printed image the illusion of both depth and the sense of animation, giving movement to what would otherwise be a static abstract shape, re-enforcing Eno's notion of a work 'which one can look at and walk away from as one would a painting: it sits still and you move.' Here, for the first time, numerous variations of the light pieces and lenticulars are reproduced together to create an artwork in itself, published for the first time in volume form. The works are accompanied by two specially commissioned essays by the artist and renowned critic and writer, Michael Bracewell.

Galleria del Cavallino (Venice)

Fernando Ortega

A series of photographs by Fernando Ortega shows an unspoiled countryside, a smuggler's boat on a river in Mexico. Refering to this picture, the artist says that during their visit, the boatman made them listen to music but it is interrupted each time by the brevity of the passage. To remedy this the artist asked Brian Eno to compose music for this purpose. A collaboration between Fernando Ortega and Brian Eno.
