María Berrío: Flowered Songs and Broken Currents
On view at Victoria Miro from 6 October–27 November, the central theme of this exhibition is the quiet of catastrophe’s aftermath, a solemnity that points as much towards modes of resilience and adaptation as it does to the crushing devastation of loss.

‘I put myself – the Black body – in the work,’ – Howardena Pindell talks to Time about her new exhibition at The Shed
In 1979, Howardena Pindell quit her job in the curatorial department of The Museum of Modern Art to start teaching at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Months into her new profession, she was a passenger in a car accident that left her with a hip injury and a dent in her head, causing memory loss. The near-death situation inspired an epiphany for Pindell, already an artist outside of her working hours: she needed to voice her opinion, she needed to do it now, and her art was the perfect way to do it.

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: Elmgreen & Dragset – 2020, 2020
Elmgreen & Dragset often use the exhibition venue as an essential part of their work by transforming the gallery space into a completely different environment: ‘like a film you can walk into’. At EMMA they have responded to the museum’s béton brut architecture and transformed the space into a fictional car park. The exhibition, entitled 2020, incorporates real cars, road markings and a selection of Elmgreen & Dragset’s sculptures, both new and familiar, that together create new sets of narratives. The museum space has been turned into a surreal parking garage which invites the visitors to make their own stories and associations.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Elmgreen & Dragset have collaborated with Paperi T, the Finnish rap artist, who has created the lyrics for a video shot in the exhibition.
Elmgreen & Dragset: 2020 will be on display at EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Finland from 26 September 2020 to 17 January 2021.
