In the early 1970s, the poet and artist Cecilia Vicuña (b. 1948, Santiago de Chile) made a series of paintings “that critically explore the patriarchal iconography of international socialism and reinterpret Andean cultural symbols.” One of these early paintings is included in the current exhibition at Gasworks, A Kingdom of Hours, co-curated by Robert Leckie (curator, Gasworks) and Miguel A. López (chief curator, TEOR/éTica).

Minitel by Eduardo Kaz: Electronic Superhighway.
Eduardo Kac: Minitel Tesão (1985)

Two artists on the Electronic Superhighway

29 January–15 May 2016

England & Co has lent works Eduardo Kac and Roy Ascott to the exhibition Electronic Superhighway (2016-1966) at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, in which key moments in the history of art and the internet emerge as the exhibition travels back in time.

Eduardo Kac’s two Minitel animated poems in the exhibition date from 1985 and ’86. Kac was a pioneer of telecommunications art in the 1980s and he continues to investigate the philosophical and political dimensions of communication processes, bringing together the biological and the digital. He has recently been the subject of a paper in Art in America, entitled ‘Transgressive Bodies’ by Zanna Gilbert.

Also on loan to Electronic Highway is Change Painting by Roy Ascott  from 1968. Ascott is an influential British artist and teacher who has been a practitioner of interactive computer art, electronic art, cybernetic art and telematic art since the Sixties.

Vale, Maliheh Afnan (1935–2016)

England & Co is sad to announce the death of Maliheh Afnan, the distinguished Middle-Eastern artist who in recent years has been based in London. Born in Palestine in 1935 of Persian parents, educated in Beirut and Washington, her work addressed contemporary themes of displacement and exile.

We are proud to have worked with her on two solo exhibitions at the gallery, several group shows and to have sold a major work to the British Museum.
