This week coming we are involved with two of the most significant artists to emerge in the 1970’s and two new site-related works

Peter Downsbrough 'AQUI' 2008. Angels Gallery Barcelona

Tuesday 8th November 6-8.30pm Peter Downsbrough AND HERE + A PLACE TO BE opens at CHELSEA space . This show is Downsbrough’s first UK outing since his 1973 show at Jack Wendler Gallery, London, a subject that curator Teresa Gleadowe covered for us here at CHELSEA space in the excellent Dematerialised: Jack Wendler Gallery 1971 - 1974. The curator of the Peter Downsbrough show, Anna Manubens, became interested in responding to Downsbrough’s work through dance and she will be choreographing rehearsals in the installation on Thursdays and Saturdays throughout the duration of the show which runs until the 10th of December.

On Wednesday 9th November 6.15pm in the Lecture Theatre, Chelsea College of Art and Design, CHELSEA space Director Donald Smith has organised an ‘in conversation’ between the artist David Tremlett, artist and University of the Arts London Rootstein Hopkins Chair of Drawing, Stephen Farthing, and Tate Curator of Modern and Contemporary British Art, Andrew Wilson. There will also be a screening of Ed Webb-Ingall and Stephen Farthing’s new short film documenting the installation of Tremlett’s new site related work Drawing For Free Thinking 2011.

This event is free. Please come to the Lecture Theatre, Chelsea College of Art and Design via the main college entrance on Atterbury Street, SW1. 6.15pm Wednesday 9th November.
