13 – 19 April 2015

To coincide with the London Book Fair, fig-2 invites The White Review to transfer its activities from the printed page to the physical space of the ICA Studio. The White Review’s editorial practice is carried into the exhibition format: the form that each work proposes counterpoints another work, providing an associative experience of reading the magazine for the visitor. The editors in turn invite artists Patrick Goddard and Izzy McEvoy, alongside a collaboration between Patrick Langley, Stuart Middleton and Richard Sides, to present work that addresses the ways in which fiction, nonfiction and the visual arts can, when arranged together, inform one another. Further, the editors bring in a selection of multimedia and collage works by Linder Sterling to serve as a metonym for the show as a whole.
Collaborators:
Patrick Goddard’s recent works have taken the form of videos, books, performances and sculpture; all with an emphasis on poetry, observational anecdotes or research-led articles. ‘A Reverse Gun Shoot’ is a short film in which the artist documents his initial invitation to participate in the exhibition. Asked to respond to a specific brief – which took the author Edouard Leve’s unrealised ‘works’ as a starting point – the artist instead turns the tables on the commission, subcontracting the brief back to the editor. ‘Some sounds I heard I at the ICA’ is a multi-part text piece mapping sounds heard (or imagined) by the artist in the ICA Studio. It derives from an unrealised project outlined by Edouard Leve in his ‘works’.
Linder Sterling is among the most controversial, confrontational British artists of the past fifty years. Having first come to fame with her iconic cover for the 1977 Buzzcocks album ‘Orgasm Addict’, Linder has continued to work in music, performance, publishing and film. This exhibition presents a series of her collages, on loan from Stuart Shave Modern Art.
Izzy McEvoy makes video, sculpture and animation. Her multimedia practice investigates the relationship between time as experienced in film and in the exhibition space. ‘Linear A’ is a dual-channel video installation that combines fragments of digital animation and snippets of found film.
Patrick Langley, Stuart Middleton and Richard Sides present a new work ‘Working From Home’ that emerged from a series of discussions of Sidney Lumet's 1976 film ‘Network’, held between the artists earlier this year.

THE WHITE REVIEW CV

The White Review is a quarterly arts and literature journal, with print and online editions. It takes its name and a degree of inspiration from La Revue Blanche, a Parisian magazine that ran from 1889 to 1903. Launched in 2011 by Jacques Testard and Benjamin Eastham and designed by Ray O’Meara, The White Review publishes fiction, essays, interviews, poetry and visual art. Its thirteenth issue, out now, features among other things interviews with Ben Lerner and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, fiction by Helen Oyeyemi, and artwork by Luke Rudolf, Patricia Treib and Daisuke Yokota.
