“if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.” Lewis Carroll, ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’

Contrariwise is the first exhibition of the refreshed studio1.1 in partnership with Sluice. To mark this coming together, we’re celebrating the communities that support our respective initiatives, presenting an exhibition drawn from Members (studio1.1) and Friends (Sluice).

Running artist-led projects has always required a willingness to believe in unlikely things: that spaces will survive, that conversations will continue, that artists with very different approaches but bound by a shared ethos can flourish together. Collaboration itself can feel contrary — improbable, occasionally illogical — yet it persists.

This exhibition gathers works that sit beside one another without demanding agreement. Different voices, materials, and intentions coexist here in productive tension.

playpaint and Mari Reijnders

‘The Situation of the Error’

5 - 29 March

private view Thursday 5 March 6 - 9 pm

Two artists whose work apparently bears no relation to each other – is friendship or a shared worldview sufficient to hang an exhibition of paintings upon? Mari Reijnders and Mike Gittings of playpaint have a long-standing friendship and have discussed and debated long before presenting this parallelist collaboration.

Central to the exhibition is the work of Andrei Cădere (Warsaw, 1938 – Paris, 1979). Although ‘central’ is a word which contradicts the core of his practice (which is nothing if not oblique). A Polish born Romanian conceptualist whose work radically re-imagined the boundaries of authorship and objecthood. His last works in the 1970′s an extended ‘manifestation’ in a Paris already in thrall to them.

Both artists cite his persistent interventions and hermetic methods as inspiration. (The title of the show is itself a re-translation of a phrase in Cădere’s rare writings (he only published three texts in his life Presentation of a work. Use of a work (1974), and History of a work (1982) - this exhibition is an imagined third - Situation of the Error). Cădere most famously interposed his art (sticks coloured according to a system known only to himself) into existing exhibitions and galleries entirely uninvited, calling into question the status of the work and the parameters of each site and exhibition space.

Reijnders and playpaint’s work sets out with no obvious agenda - ‘paused paintings, decomposed paintings and on-off paintings converge’. One is solidly abstract the other broadly, almost whimsically figurative - but these are not opposites - there is another triangulation - the world these artists inhabit, whether the world observed or created on canvas, and the further mirrored site of viewer and viewing point.

You are invited to an impromptu show of work by six Members of studio1.1 London.

Running counter to normal curatorial decisions (although studio1.1 has never slavishly followed convention) we sent out a call to artists in our membership. In effect a handover of the gallery to the artists themselves. The idea behind it was pragmatism - exploiting an opportunity - the criterion above all availability. Six artists from our membership replied with commendable alacrity. Six artists whose work has been artificially joined together in this most artificial of seasons. There will be connections, the theme (if any) will evolve over What’s App although one of the artists has already discerned a Beckettian connection between them (how tinselly does that sound?). Putting the ‘X’ in Xmas. In the spirit of the season ‘You better watch out... ‘ a ransom note, signed Santa.

📍Studio 1.1 .1_london : 57A Redchurch St,
London E2 7DJ

Thu-Sun, 11 AM-5 PM

The duo exhibition unfolds through gestures of stillness and quiet transformation.
Across moving image, sound, and photography, we explore perception and temporality, not as fixed conditions, but as shifting states of becoming and return.

Together, we inhabit a fragile threshold between appearing and fading, inviting you to linger in the in-between. before everything quietly fades.
