Heidi Horten Collection
Hanuschgasse 3, 1010 Vienna, Austria

20 September 2024 - 23 March 2025

The exhibition Light Sound Senses explores light as a physical and natural and aesthetically usable phenomenon and aims to stimulate our diverse sensory perceptions. Visitors are invited to engage with multi-sensory works of art to heighten their own awareness of space, time, light, sound, taste and touch. Light is explored as an indicator of technological development and as a cultural construct with symbolic meaning. Through works from the Heidi Horten Collection as well as loans from TBA21 and site-specific and immersive installations - realized exclusively for the exhibition by invited artists - Light Sound Senses conveys a deeper understanding of the nature of light, sound and our five senses.

With works by: Siegrun Appelt with Constanze Müller, John M Armleder, Cibelle Cavalli Bastos, Olafur Eliasson, Tracey Emin, Cerith Wyn Evans, Dan Flavin, Ceal Floyer, Peter Friedl, Gelatin, Helga Griffiths, Lena Henke, Carsten Höller, Krištof Kintera, Edgar Knoop, Brigitte Kowanz, Joseph Kosuth, Bernhard Leitner, Paul McCarthy, Lószló Moholy-Nagy, Ivón Navarro, Ernesto Neto, Carsten Nicolai, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Tony Oursler, Finnbogi Petursson, Ugo Rondinone, Christine Schörkhuber, SUPERFLEX, Iv Toshain and Martin Walde.

Light has fascinated many artists and they have used it as a material. Its physical and - above all - metaphysical properties enable new visual and spatial experiences. Hence, the immaterial medium is often found in art in the form of light bulbs, fluorescent or neon tubes, glowing LEDs or powerful headlights.

Tin Man Art at Fitzrovia Chapel
Fitzroy Place, 2 Pearson Square, London W1T 3BF

2 – 12 July 2024

For two weeks in July, works by some of the leading names in contemporary art will be displayed at Fitzrovia Chapel in an exploration of witchcraft, womanhood, feminism and satire. The Witch Burns includes artists such as Sara Berman, Radiohead & Chris Hopewell, Malene Hartmann-Rasmussen, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Zach Toppin and Nooka Shepherd, whose works delve deep into our continuing obsession with witches, female power and proto-religious imagery. A new work by Sue Webster will also be shown for the first time.

This unique exhibition, curated by TIN MAN ART, will be hosted in Londons Fitzrovia Chapel, a Grade II-listed Gothic-revival building, originally built as a place for reflection and contemplation for staff and patients at the former Middlesex Hospital. Never fully consecrated, it has over the last decade ‐ after a £2 million restoration, particularly to its extraordinary gold mosaic ceiling ‐ become a key spot in Londons contemporary art scene.

To many, the witch figure has been associated with evil and persecution for almost 1,000 years. The counterview that gives rise to the witch as a symbol of power and feminine resistance has been growing for some time, helping us re-evaluate the role and representation of women and anyone who is deemed as 'other' in society.

The works on display will show how contemporary art is currently challenging and redefining concepts of power, persecution and piety. By inverting religious iconography and classic Christian imagery, modern feminist thought can be brought to the concept of the witch, deconstructing the myth into something different for the 21st century.

The exhibition offers an opportunity to transform a historical Chapel through modern ideas and contemporary dialogue. This juxtaposing of old and new, as well as the sacred with the profane, is demonstrated with the work of Tim Noble & Sue Webster (b.1966 & 1967), who created the artwork for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 2007 album Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, which referred to the Gospel of John. The resulting image of bright lights, visually reminiscent of a Las Vegas residency, highlights the preposterous didacticism of some religious messaging. A further work by Sue Webster will also be on display ‐ a recent self-portrait echoing the iconography of the Virgin Mary and Websters own complex experience of motherhood. This work marks an unexpected and exciting new chapter for an important name in contemporary art.

TIN MAN ART director James Elwes says: "Centuries of persecution have led to a variety of social fears, informing the artistic expression and representation of women. With this show we wanted to play with long-standing witch myths to challenge the inherent female stereotypes that still pervade. It's one of the most exciting shows we've organised, and I think has resulted in a playful multi-disciplinary celebration of women and witchcraft that re-appropriates the religious and societal strictures that so often subjugated its practices. It's an honour to be working with such distinguished and talented artists in this rich and unusual space."

24 February - 19 May 2024

Using contemporary art, the exhibition IMAGINEWOR(L)DS explores the socio-political relevance and identity meanings of the Nibelungenlied, focussing on the encounter between visual and written language. The exhibition questions collective memory, the formation of figures such as the hero and the relationship between the construction and deconstruction of Eurocentric myths in an era of postcolonial, post-migrant and queer feminist redefinitions of the world. IMAGINEWOR(L)DS is more of an associative thought game than a reproduction of the epic with new images. Using allusion and reference, the exhibition creates gaps intended as moments of reflection through text-based and media art, as well as through paintings, drawings and sculptural objects. In this way, the exhibition enables a differentiated look at myths and illustrates the meanings and transformations of (hand)written narratives, authorship, history, aesthetics, reception - then, later, now…

Tim Noble and Sue Webster light sculptures from the archive.

"There is a sinister, even deliberately creepy aspect as well as a happy side to the work of Tim and Sue.

"A dagger stuck through the heart, as found in an early work like Toxic Schizophrenia, 1997 - it's Piccadilly Circus-like lights flashing on and off full-tilt, a depiction of the classic Christian emblem, the bleeding heart - also indicates the levels of ambiguity and human feelings that permeate their work. The concept of the emblem is central to art: An emblem that can represent faith and fidelity, love as well as hate, fear as well as resolution, understanding and ignorance, sophistication and vulgarity, waste and value, friendship and alienation, male and female, negative and positive.

"In other words, an endless string of opposites that can tear the world apart and hold it together, either from the perspective of society in general or of two individuals who are joined as one. We can come to understand all this and more through the work of Noble and Webster, Tim and Sue." - extract from "The Magic Arts of Noble & Webster - Tim and Sue" by Norman Rosenthal (Wasted Youth 2006)

Place Sainte-Anne 35200 Rennes, France

10 June - 10 September 2023

With more than 80 emblematic works, some of which have never previously been exhibited by the Pinault Collection, Forever Sixties sheds light on a decisive moment in the history of contemporary art, the visual revolution of the 1960s, and its enduring legacy in the creative movement of the following decades. What were the Sixties all about? Liberation, repression, appropriation? Under Anglo-American influence, this decade was characterised by an unprecedented demographic and economic boom, the emergence of consumer society and the beginnings of the conquest of space. Marked by ideological conflicts, the Cold War and the wars of decolonisation, the violent apogee of the civil rights movement and sexual liberation, the Swinging Sixties - repressive years as described by Richard Hamilton with his play on the words ‘swinging’ and ‘swingeing’ - are also a field of tensions opposing conservatism and democratisation, dominant culture and alternative counter-cultures, mercantile conformism and dreams of escape.

With works by Richard Avedon, Evelyne Axell, John Baldessari, Teresa Burga, Robert Colescott, Llyn Foulkes, Gilbert & George, Robert Gober, Richard Hamilton, David Hammons, Duane Hanson, Alain Jacquet, Edward Kienholz, Kiki Kogelnik, Barbara Kruger, Christian Marclay, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Raymond Pettibon, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Richard Prince, Martial Raysse, Ed Ruscha, Niki de Saint Phalle, Sturtevant and Jerzy Ryszard “Jurry” Zielinski.

12 – 19 February 2023

The West Hollywood EDITION and Henzel Studio are pleased to announce an exhibition celebrating ten years of Henzel Studio's groundbreaking program of artist designed carpets. Since its inception in 2012, Henzel Studio and curator Joakim Andreasson have directly collaborated with more than thirty artists to translate their respective practices onto this traditional medium. The program has been exhibited worldwide at institutional and commercial venues that include Colette Gallery (Paris), MOCA Cleveland, Katonah Museum of Art, Boca Raton Museum of Art, Barneys New York Madison Avenue, JOYCE (Hong Kong), The Webster (Miami) and more. Unveiled for the first time are carpets by contemporary artist duos Sue Webster & Tim Noble and Jake & Dinos Chapman, as well as the estates of Richard Bernstein and Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd.

The fifteen exhibited artists are all groundbreaking and leading forces within their respective fields and media, ranging from sculpture, drawing, collage, photography, installations, reliefs and video art. Their mark has not only been honored and highlighted at leading galleries and institutions worldwide, but also widely documented and manifested as a mirror of cultural movements. The exhibited carpets will be configured as a site-specific installation and showcase Henzel Studio's artist program's extensive and varied body of work, challenging the media at hand and the relationship between fine art and applied arts.

Exhibited artists: Richard Bernstein, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Jonathan Horowitz, Helmut Lang, Marilyn Minter, Tony Oursler, Jack Pierson, Richard Prince, Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, Andy Warhol, Sue Webster & Tim Noble, Lawrence Weiner, Jwan Yosef.

Somerset House
Strand, London WC2R 1LA

27 October 2022 - 19 February 2023

This autumn Somerset House presents a major exhibition celebrating our greatest cultural provocateurs and visionaries, examining how ideas rooted in horror have informed the last 50 years of creative rebellion in Britain.

The Horror Show! is a landmark exhibition that invites visitors to journey to the underbelly of Britain's cultural psyche and look beyond horror as a genre, instead taking it as a reaction to our most troubling times. Featuring over 200 artworks and culturally significant artefacts from some of our country's most provocative artists, the exhibition presents an alternative perspective on the last five decades of modern British history in three acts ‐ Monster, Ghost and Witch. Recast as a story of cultural shapeshifting, each section interprets a specific era through the lens of a classic horror archetype with thematically linked contemporaneous and new works.

Giant
Bournemouth, UK

16 July – 16 October 2022

GIANT presents FOREVER: CHANGED, an exhibition that looks at the future we now occupy through the bold, sharp and sometimes humorous lens of major contemporary artists working across a variety of disciplines.

The exhibition questions a future that we currently inhabit, and it contrasts this with the utopian projections made by early post-war artists. Rather than celebrating or critiquing the current moment, today's artists find themselves within mass culture itself. In a moment of ultra-hybridity, we see artists re-purposing existing materials, images, words, and technologies. Authorship is eroded and challenged, artists themselves are the celebrity, and through new technologies, everyone is an artist. This future is a collage of ideas, failings and contrasting perspectives, which we observe here in the works of: Fabio Lattanzi Antinori; Ron Arad; Sarah Hardacre; Mark Jenkins; Hayden Kays; Misha Milovanovich; Kenny Schachter; Mark Titchner; Gavin Turk; and Tim Noble & Sue Webster.

FOREVER: CHANGED comments directly on how mass media, culture and production had previously been held at a critical distance, as something that could be challenged by generations of artists gone before – and how that distance has now evaporated to the extent that we are consumed within it and active in propagating it, consuming it and remixing it. Across the exhibition, the sanctity of the art object is contested. A strong argument that art itself has become a pop-cultural product is presented by several different voices. Telling society where it's lost, what's broken and what's wrong with it.

3 June - 2 October 2022

OPEN celebrates the opening of the Heidi Horten Collection's new home: a museum founded by the patron and collector Heidi Goëss-Horten. Inspired by her ideas, the building was built and designed by the next ENTERprise architects in Vienna, led by Marie-Therese Harnoncourt-Fuchs and Ernst J. Fuchs.

The exhibition focuses on the building's architecture, as well as the history of the site and its predecessor buildings, and marks the inauguration of the building as a stage for art. It features a selection of works, offering an illustrative insight into the collection, which has been cultivated and expanded by Heidi Goëss-Horten over decades and includes a large number of recent acquisitions of contemporary art. The spotlight is shone on the collection's openness and diversity on the one hand and its artistic and thematic centres on the other.

"The exhibition Animals in Art presents works by more than thirty international artists who explore our relationship with animals – and do so with humour, wit and bite. From flies to elephants, this large-scale presentation invites audiences to enter the animal kingdom of art, a realm filled with beautiful, strange and incredible creatures."

The exhibition presents works by Cory Arcangel, John Baldessari, Richard Barnes, Pascal Bernier, Sophie Calle, Mircea Cantor, Maurizio Cattelan, Mark Dion, Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg, Martin Eder, Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset, Annika Eriksson, Daniel Firman, Laura Ford, Douglas Gordon, Damien Hirst, Peter Holst Henckel, Camille Henrot, Candida Höfer, Carsten Höller, Bharti Kher, Paul McCarthy, Kohei Nawa, Rivane Neuenschwander & Sérgio Neuenschwander, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Patricia Piccinini, Paola Pivi, David Shrigley, Lisa Strömbeck and William Wegman.

Art as a watchdog for freedom of speech and democracy

Museum Jorn's large autumn exhibition considers artists' use of other artists' works. Examples of this are the Chapman brothers' use and transformation of Adolf Hitler's original watercolours, Banksy's use of Monet and van Gogh to create politically powerful pictures, Asger Jorn's painting of the disquieting duckling or Gee Vaucher's image of the Statue of Liberty with her hands clasped over her eyes in an artwork which is as poignant now as it was 25 years ago.

Curators Fru Tholstrup and Jane Neal bring a host of British female artists to our new Mayfair gallery to celebrate the centenary of (some but not all) women receiving the right to vote in Britain, creating a powerful new exhibition of emerging and established contemporary British women artists.

Launching in tandem with Frieze art week, the show includes British artists who examine the role of women in contemporary society; others who are motivated by the body politics surrounding the objectification of the female form; and those who question the fractured sense of being that many contemporary women feel today. Some of the artists included have chosen work that is not intended to be read and interpreted through the lens of their sex. This is a show about the freedom of women to make the art that they choose.

21st Century Women will feature the following artists: Helen Beard, Zoe Buckman, Charlotte Colbert, Laura Ford, Eloise Fornieles, Anna Freeman Bentley, Maggi Hambling, Chantal Joffe, Kate MccGwire, Polly Morgan, Annie Morris, Suzy Murphy, Ishbel Myerscough, Vicken Parsons, Jenny Saville, Sue Webster, Vicky Wright, and Michaela Yearwood-Dan.

Royal Academy of Arts
The Benjamin West Lecture Theatre, Burlington Gardens, London

Friday 14 September 2018. 6–7 pm

Musician, filmmaker and author Viv Albertine and artist Sue Webster discuss how not conforming has shaped and influenced their professional and personal lives – both creatively and spiritually. Their conversation will be chaired by broadcaster and journalist Miranda Sawyer.

Viv Albertine has never shied away from challenges. The guitarist in The Slits – one of the most influential post-punk bands of its era – she studied film in the 1980s and directed for TV and the BFI during the 1980s and 1990s. In 2008, she returned to making music after an absence of nearly thirty years and launched her solo career. In 2013 she published a memoir, the best selling Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys, chronicling her time in The Slits and beyond. In 2015 she made her acting debut in Joanna Hogg's 2015 film, Exhibition.

This year, Albertine published her second book, To Throw Away Unopened, which explores class, gender, parents, sibling rivalry and anger.

Sue Webster is an artist who established her reputation in the 1990s, working with her then-partner of 25 years, Tim Noble. Together they rose to prominence making abstract shadow sculptures assembled from seemingly random objects. These sculptures, when lit by a single light source transformed into representational self portraits. To make something from nothing became an important part of their DIY signature approach, influenced in part by British Punk. Alongside their shadow sculptures, they also took light sculpture into a different realm, creating signs which perpetually flash out messages of everlasting love, as well as hate.

Webster has curated various exhibitions, happenings and music events as well as guest editing several special editions of magazines. She is currently working on her second visual biography entitled, I Was a Teenage Banshee – My Life Through Siouxsie and the Banshees.

This event will be followed by a Q&A.

Doodle & Disegno is a group exhibition gathering over 100 works on paper from over 25 contemporary artists, demonstrating the endless possibilities of this humble and familiar artistic surface.

A blank sheet of paper invites expression and experimentation; it's an open space which retains its appeal to artists as they explore new ideas. Encompassing works from elaborate pencil drawings to a quick splash of ink, this exhibition examines the importance of paper in the practice of contemporary artists.

For the period of Berlin gallery weekend 2018 and the second time in its history the 6,000 square meter studio spaces of Lehderstrasse 34 will host an incredibly diverse exhibition of paintings, sculpture, multi media, installation, film and photography, in which artists invite artists to exhibit in the context of this studio environment, thus returning the viewer to the very place of art's genesis.

Tim Noble & Sue Webster are exhibiting three artworks, Double Header Double Pleasure, 2000; Untitled (Rat and Trap), 2005; and Sacrificial Heart, 2007.

The collision of so many differing artistic identities forms the foundation of the exhibition. In contrast to normative curatorial practices, the initiators of Ngorongoro trust in this phenomenon.

The process is aesthetic and intuitive. Artists inviting artists. The non-commercial background of the project allows the initiators to invite both internationally known and less recognized artists to participate, as such the exhibition highlights the influence and importance of artists engagement with the work of their contemporaries.

Internationally acclaimed artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster present three works from their prolific back catalogue. With a punk aesthetic, the artists combine form and anti-form to bring about the unexpected, creating new modes of portraiture and playing with the idea of how humans perceive abstract images and define them with meaning.

Parallel to their shadow investigations, Noble and Webster have created a series of light sculptures that reference iconic pop culture symbols represented in the form of shop-front-type signage and carnival shows inherent of British seaside towns, Las Vegas and Times Square. With the aid of complex light sequencing these signs perpetually flash and spiral out messages of everlasting love, and hate.

2 December 2017 – 13 May 2018

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

The Masterpiece (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

STICKS WITH DICKS AND SLITS, a new body of sculptural works, Tim Noble and Sue Webster present pairs of giant self-portraits, stickfigures sculpted in twisted bronze. Based on handmade maquettes made with electrical wire, the sculptures are an act of upscaling playful ephemera into physically domineering artworks with a permanency and scale that transcends human limitations.

The initial maquettes for this new body of work were created during a residency on the Caribbean island of St Bart's. This idyllic environment was initially challenging for these urbanites who found themselves stripped of their usual impetus. Struggling with this creative impasse, they began doodling with electrical wire, quickly and intuitively producing two intimate self-portraits.

Part of a great tradition of artists-as-art, their personal image and the dynamic between them is an integral part of their work. As with previous self-portraits, these new paired sculptures express the artistic personae of the duo.

One and Other explores the duality that emerges from the daily performing of a persona other than ourselves. The show constitutes a spatial experiment in which the concept of the stage is used as a metaphor to investigate this duality. A parallel is drawn between the dynamic of an actor and their performed role onstage and our relationship to our projected personas on social media platforms. From this starting point the exhibition questions, through a range of contemporary artworks of different mediums, the permanence of our identity, what influences it, the multiple shapes it takes and our relationship towards the other self.

One and Other is curated by students of the MA Curating courses at Chelsea College of Art & Sir John Cass College of Art at London Metropolitan University. The resulting exhibition has been selected from over 3000 Collection works and brings together some of the most significant artists in contemporary art. The participating curators are: Caterina Avataneo, Ryan Blakeley, Nadine Cordial Settele, Sofía Corrales Akerman, Gaia Giacomelli and Angela Pippo. The exhibition will be accompanied by a public programme of events, curator-led tours and family workshops.

Taking its title from the comic section of twentieth century American newspapers known as 'the funnies', this group exhibition will be an exploration of the simplistic visual language of the cartoon. Utilising exaggeration, perversion, slapstick and absurdity, the works in The Funnies will instantaneously convey complex themes through basic gestures. The exhibition is not conceived as an illustration of the comic strip, but rather as an extension of its unruly ethos.

The Funnies will include works by artists Charlie Billingham, Mel Bochner, Cosima von Bonin, Werner Büttner, George Condo, Philip Guston, Sanya Kantarovsky, Martin Kippenberger, Sarah Lucas, Simon Mathers, Helmut Middendorf, Oliver Osborne, Jon Pylypchuk, Anne Speier, Sue Webster & Tim Noble, Jesse Wine, Rose Wylie.

Body politics surrounding The Nude in the 20th and 21st Centuries have provoked some of the most hotly contested debates in history. The human body, and most especially the naked human body, has fascinated artists for millennia ostensibly because, no matter what the era, our relationship with the corporeal is a necessary constant and our love affair with the body is intrinsic to our survival.

Curated by Jane Neal, The Nude in the XX & XXI Century comprises works from a selection of artists whose practices engage with the historic iconography of The Nude and who use this subject to consider the place of the body within our changing cultural landscape. With the increased intersection of the fine art and fashion worlds visible throughout Western media, the concept of 'Body Beautiful' has become something to aspire to – a new icon for our age – but one robbed of religious significance, romantic context, or intellectual import. In reaction to this act of dehumanisation, artists have focused on The Nude as a ground upon which to project desires and a motif through which they might explore sexuality, gender politics, and the relationship between the body and society. For artists the Nude remains an almost endless source of inspiration, occupying a unique place in art history as well as in our collective unconscious.

What Do Artists Do All Day? For years, Sue Webster and Tim Noble were the hippest power couple in the art world. Their punk aesthetic – creating modern sculpture from recycled rubbish – and the art they made out of their personal relationship made them a notorious artistic double act. They recently split, but continue to collaborate.

This film follows Sue Webster at work on new projects, including a cook book, painting nude portraits of Tim, and talking frankly and entertainingly about past success and her plans for the future as a solo artist.

The Folly Acres Cook Book. British artist Sue Webster offers readers a rare glimpse into life as one half of the acclaimed artist-duo, Tim Noble and Sue Webster. The Folly Acres Cook Book combines recipes from the kitchen of the Gloucestershire smallholding shared by Tim and Sue, along with drawings, photographs, thoughts, anecdotes and personal memories.

Originally cooked for family and friends including the chef Mark Hix, and the singer songwriter PJ Harvey, the recipes form an illustrated diary of Webster's life between the years of 2010 and 2014. Testament to her irreverent humour, Webster includes both classic and experimental dishes, alongside creative instructions for life in the country. She explains: "As I executed each idea I would test it out on a variety of guinea pigs, and recorded each dish on my iPhone. Sometimes I got bored of the edible dish and would photograph the garbage in the bin – the potato peelings and egg shells, as I found this to be somehow more attractive and synonymous to the trash sculptures that Tim and I had made."

Introduced with an original poem by PJ Harvey that was inspired by her visit to Folly Acres, the Cook Book is hand-typed on a 1940s Olympia Robust typewriter originally developed for use by the German militia during World War II. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs and illustrations by both Tim and Sue.

Blind Painting, a solo exhibition of automatic paintings by Tim Noble and Sue Webster, will be the artists' first New York solo show since 2008. Known for their sculptural shadow portraits built from bones, detritus, and cast body parts, the artists engage codependent opposites like intimacy and alienation, sex and violence, and high and low culture.

Noble and Webster continue to explore cultural and psychological paradoxes through a new set of constraints in a new medium. For their "Blind Paintings," the artists voluntarily blindfold themselves to make portraits of each other from memory, surfacing tensions between familiarity and strangeness, control and chaos. Like the Surrealist's game of exquisite corpse, in which players collectively assemble a drawing by following absurd instructions, Noble and Webster welcome the effects of accident and the subconscious in their work. The series is comprised of large black and white paintings as well as smaller works on paper that the artists painted with their feet.

In the second series of "Feinschmecker" or "fine detail" paintings, the artists wipe and fling excess paint left over from the portraits onto blank canvases. A foil to the concentration and personal specificity of the blind-contour works, these unconstrained abstractions embody an act of doing without thinking, recalling Rorschach tests and stream of consciousness experimentation.

Marking the centenary of Duchamp's readymade, The Fine Art Society is proud to present a major group exhibition What Marcel Duchamp Taught Me. It is the largest show in the history of the gallery, taking over the entire five floors of the Bond Street townhouse as over 50 Contemporary artists respond to Duchamp and his legacy.

The readymade is a concept that challenged the very notion of art itself. As a result of this gesture, anything could be art if the artist chose it. Duchamp's impact not just as an artist but also as a great thinker and writer, is incalculable. His afterlife is undoubtedly phenomenal and his legacy is a subject continually discussed by art historians and critics. Yet it is so deeply embedded in the practice of art that it is hard to pin down. So instead The Fine Art Society has asked artists to respond directly and personally.

Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) is a multifaceted figure who still looms large over contemporary art. Duchamp is worshipped by some and condemned by others – either way there is no disputing that he is one of the most influential artists of the twentieth and twenty first centuries.

The Space Where I Am, a group show exploring ideas of the void and emptiness from the 1960s to the present day. The exhibition's title is taken from philosopher Gaston Bachelard's book The Poetics of Space (1958), which describes the lived experience of space and where he contended "it is better to live in a state of impermanence than in one of finality". All of the assembled works examine the dialectic between absence and presence, primarily valuing absence in the construction of form.

Spinning Heads in Reverse (2006) by Tim Noble & Sue Webster actively plays with positive and negative space. Self-portraits of the artists appear to be both physically absent but simultaneously present, perhaps only truly resonating in the viewer's imagination. The exhibition includes work by Carl Andre, Keith Conventry, Lucio Fontana, Tom Friedman, John Gerrard, Michael Joo, Donald Judd, Rosy Keyser, Gordon Matta-Clark, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Gerhard Richter, James Turrell, Bill Viola, Lawrence Weiner, Rachel Whiteread.

The exhibition – curated by Johannes Sperling – investigates the different approaches and motivations for the presentation of the self between portrait and performance. Artists have been exploring new ways of including their own body or their physicality within their work of art. The radicalism of the practice as the first of its kind was emphasized by its prohibition as displayed in a secretly taken photograph of Timm Ulrichs' restaged exhibition in a museum's storage facility.

The exhibition 1.pers.sing combines renowned international artists such as Candice Breitz, Jonathan Meese, Ai Weiwei, Ragnar Kjartansson and Tim Noble and Sue Webster.

Factual Nonsense – The Art and Death of Joshua Compston is both a biography and an alternative portrait of the 1990's art scene in London's East End.

Compston is perhaps best remembered for his collaborative street events; The Hanging Picnic, Compston's third and final summer event, was an art exhibition and picnic. Compston selected objects by 25 artists, including Iain Forysthe, Jane Pollard, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, to hang on the railings of Hoxton Square.

"So I was walking around Hoxton Square listening for inspiration. There were these group of men sitting on a bench drinking Special Brew shouting out slurry words to each other, and whoever was listening. I continued walking around the square, and shattering the sweet bird song was a crow hawking, the crow and the slurry men shooting offensive words spliced together in my mind. There and then the Abusive Bird Box was conceived.

The Hanging Picnic attracted many happy picnickers, my bird boxes installed on a near by tree, crowed out their abusive sound, "birth,birth,birth! work,work,work! fuck,fuck! death,death,death", until finally someone could take no more and yanked out the wires to a rapturous applause." Tim Noble.

Powerful, irreverent, subversive and humorous, the defining qualities of Tim and Sue's work have not been lost in translation as rings, necklaces and bracelets.

The infamous British double act were already familiar with the medium when they were approached by Louisa in 2004; Tim's mother was a goldsmith and before he met Sue, Tim wore a silver skull ring he modeled himself cast at his request, by his mother. Years later Tim gave the same designed ring cast in gold to Sue, soon after they had first met. This ring went on to inspire a series of cufflinks designed by Tim & Sue in 2004. [projects]
