In his show at the SLG, Simeon Barclay combines references to art history with imagery, styles and characters drawn from popular culture, such as Darth Vader from Star Wars. On whether or not he minds if visitors understand all of the references, Barclay says: "For me it was about learning to value the wide range of references I have accumulated…to value my language. As much as there are influences from traditional art history, the mash up of popular TV and film was particularly important to me as a way of embodying other realities."
"It’s all about levels of understanding. I wouldn’t expect everybody to get everything, and I like the idea of miscommunication in conversation. Regional dialects - an argot or a Patois -can be a space for dissent, regenerative reinterpretation, or a place where new levels of understanding can begin to exist."
Simeon Barclay 'In the Name of the Father' is free to visit and ends this Sun 27 Nov. Don't miss your last chance to see the show!

Find out more: https://www.southlondongallery.org/whats-on/
As part of their exhibition at the SLG, Rene Matić shared archival images related to their life.
The artist notes: “I am always looking for where I’ve come from. There are very few photos from my Dad’s side of the family, things got lost or left behind. And so, what I have is what I am offering and is that enough? Is it enough to construct an identity, or a life, or a country? This family archive reiterates an existence – a building of a church upon a rock… against all odds.”

A film screening of Sometimes it was Beautiful by artist Christian Nyampeta at the South London Gallery
"Spirituality, memory, imagination and self-reflection have become important for many. Facing the fragility and vulnerability of the human condition, prolonged grieving prompts us to reflect and reconnect. We have had to learn new grammar and language in order to live again, dream again, and in order to contain loss again. ‘The Show is Over’ is a contribution to a search for new vocabulary." - Gabi Ngcobo, curator of ‘The Show is Over’
In ‘Lamentations’ artist Anawana Haloba is shown with her face down, using her tongue to draw a map on a pile of salt. The soft yet violent gesture, accompanied by an equally violent scraping sound, provokes a knee jerk response from the viewer, confronting them with uncomfortable feelings.
This is the final week to come down, reflect and reconnect with this exhibition, it closes on 4 September.

On 1 June, Condorelli will be in conversation at the SLG with her collaborators, filmmaker Ben Rivers and poet #JayBernard. 🎫Tickets only £5/£3 🔗https://www.facebook.com/events/1109493836574927/ A Creative Heads film, by Theo Brinch, Lenz films 2020. Initiated by the Embassy of Switzerland in the UK With thanks to Embassy of Switzerland in the United Kingdom
‘After Work’ by @celinecondorelli reflects the relationship between work and free-time. It explores the idea that going to a gallery is usually considered time-off from work while at the same time, the experience is the product of cultural workers. 🎥 A new film work made in collaboration with @benriversfilm and #JayBernard takes the process of making a playground as its starting point. The installation includes a sculpture that also acts as gallery seating from which to view the film, blurring the lines between support structures and forms of display. 🎟️ Join @celinecondorelli @benriversfilm and poet Jay Bernard for an in-depth conversation on 14 May around the exhibition and the launch of Condorelli’s new book titled After Work published by Archive Books. Book your tickets online now from the link in our bio for just £5/£3.
