Sculpture and Paintings
Pork Knockers are intrepid individual gold prospectors, searching the jungles of the mythical El Dorado. Living in Guyana, UK and USA, Locke's influence has been acknowledged in seminal British exhibitions such as 'Back to Black' and 'The Other Story'. With this, his first solo show in the UK since the 1970's, we loudly reassert his place in British Art.

Paintings
Venkat Raman Singh Shyam
and Rajendra Kumar Shyam
This wonderful style of paintings are the living expressions of the people of the Pardhan Gond tribal communities of India, producing artwork that is deeply linked to their daily lives. The colours and textures show the natural beauty concepts of Pardhans, traditional shapes and symbols.
Like other Gonds, the Pardhans' traditional visual arts included decorating their homes with auspicious designs and basic imagery created in low-relief clay sculpture or natural pigments such as charcoal and limestone.
Please see this link here for news of the Pardhan Gond project to a large elephant scupture for the Elephant Parade: http://www.talleststory.com/adivasiartstrust/mediapage.html

Video Installation
An exploration of visual, spoken, and movement languages in Hetain Patel’s work is key to his investigations into Identity. In this new video installation he plays with the idea of cultural assimilation through imitation. Being British born he looks at the possibility of trying to understand an Indian mindset, or at least the mindset of the Indian immigrants that make up his immediate legacy.
This work sees the artist stepping into his father’s shoes, imitating his words, gestures and mannerisms. Patel takes the movements from his father’s work place into his own working environment - a studio. Developed in parallel with his new live work TEN, this piece requires a very specific choreography - a duet between performer and cameraman.

Slavery is illegal throughout the world, yet more than twenty-seven million people are still trapped in one of history's oldest social institutions. The underlying thread of the exhibition highlights how the unfortunate emergence of a new kind of slavery is inextricably linked to the 'ascent' of a global economy. The compendium explores a range of examples, including child labour in Bangladesh, sex slavery from Ukraine to Western Europe and the sexual enslavement of South Korean women by Japanese troops during the Second World War.
A Hayward Touring exhibition in collaboration with Autograph ABP and Magnum Photos.
