Robin Rhode Exhibition
7 Oct 2008 to 7 Dec 2008
Berlin-based South African artist Robin Rhode (born 1976) is a major new talent on the international art scene. He has developed a growing reputation for brilliantly inventive performances, photographs and drawings. Rhode combines large-scale charcoal drawings with charming and sharp-witted performances, often acted out on the street. In his video animations, Rhode tries to interact with two-dimensional representations of everyday objects; he draws a candle and tries to blow it out; he paints a bicycle and tries to ride it. Born and raised in Johannesburg, Rhode's do-it-yourself art comments on urban poverty, the politics of leisure and the commodification of youth cultures.Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms Exhibition
7 Oct 2008 to 18 Jan 2009
The Hayward presents a major exhibition that brings a fresh perspective to his work, showing works from the 1950s through to the 1980s. Everyone from Lou Reed and Dennis Hopper feature in Warhol's television shows, screen tests and rarely seen Factory video diaries. Together with extraordinary archive material from his time capsules and graphic design work in the shape of LP sleeves and wallpaper designs, this exhibition explores his creative process and the world he called his own.Jazz Line-Up Live Concert
