Chantal Joffe: For Esme – with Love and Squalor, now open at Arnolfini, Bristol
The exhibition (3 September–22 November 2020) explores the intimate act of painting and portraiture. Taking its name from J.D. Salinger’s short story For Esmé – with Love and Squalor (1950) in which time hangs as heavy as the protagonist’s ‘enormous-faced chronographic-looking wristwatch’, the exhibition captures the changing faces across the years of Chantal and her daughter Esme, moving between mother and daughter, love and squalor, and the act of care and being cared for.

In Focus: Stephen Willats – The Escape, 2020
This summer, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Stephen Willats strapped a camera to his car and made his way out of London. His short film, The Escape, captures the city's eerily empty motorways and its streets devoid of people.
The Escape continues Willats's approach of considering social situations on both a universal and a personal level. With a practice grounded in social relationships, settings, and physical realities — things which have all changed dramatically in 2020 — Willats provides a document of our unprecedented times.
