A pioneer of the ‘Light and Space’ movement of the 1960s, Irwin’s work focuses on perceptual phenomena, such as light, volume and scale, with installations that are conditioned by the site in which they take place.

White Cube Mason’s Yard is pleased to present a new body of work by Sarah Morris. Since the mid-1990s, Morris has been internationally recognised for her complex abstract paintings and films, which are derived from close observation of the architecture and psychology of urban environments. In the paintings she uses colours and geometries that she associates with a city’s unique aesthetic vocabulary and palette, as well as its character and history. Morris’ films operate in the realm of documentary, biography of a city and non-narrative fiction and focus on the importance of architecture, the role of the state, critique of power, and the aesthetic tension between the commercial and the political.

Preview Thursday 3 July 2008, 6-8pm

White Cube Hoxton Square is pleased to present Echo Gambit, the first major solo exhibition in London by the New York based artist Ernesto Caivano.

'After the Woods' is an epic narrative set in an alternative universe. Taking the act of consummation as its point of departure, two tragic lovers are separated and transported into a wooded realm, to live a parallel destiny. Situated within polar hemispheres, Versus (the Knight) and Polygon (the Princess) attempt to communicate to each other with the help of their natural habitat, particularly the exotic birds or 'Philapores'. This romantic, yet doomed allegory echoes the Garden of Eden and the Bible's Creation story, particularly in the lovers' final demise following a gambit taken in order to secure their offspring and thereby return to the origin of the story in the previous millennium.
