100 Billion Suns
Various locations, Venice, Italy
June 2011
Our colleagues at Haunch of Venison collaborated with AnOther Magazine on a project to coincide with the vernissage of the 54th Venice Biennale. 100 Billions Suns (2011) is a performance that took place at a series of undisclosed locations around Venice. Gamma Ray Bursts are the brightest explosions in the universe, which burn with a luminosity 100 billion times that of our sun. The confetti cannons created for 100 Billions Suns contain 3,261 pieces of paper whose colors correspond to each of these cosmic events. Every burst of confetti creates a miniature explosion of all of these vast explosions, in just under a second.
100 Billion Suns premiered at James Cohan Gallery in January 2011.

Mystics or Rationalists?
Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland
August 4 - October 22, 2011
It is 40 years since Sol LeWitt published his famous Sentences on Conceptual Art: a sequence of 35 statements that defined personal parameters for the making and understanding of conceptual art. Sentence number one provides the title and inspiration for Ingleby Gallery’s exhibition for the 2011 Edinburgh Art Festival, an exhibition that presents the work of nine artists (Ceal Floyer, Cerith Wyn Evans, Cornelia Parker, Iran do Espírito Santo, Jeremy Millar, Katie Paterson, Simon Starling, Susan Collis, and Susan Hiller) whose work invites the viewer to make the leap between idea and object.

Meer licht (More light)
Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle, The Netherlands
October 2, 2011 – January 8, 2012
From 2 October 2011, Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle will present the exhibition More light. The starting point of More light is a painting by William Turner from the Fundatie collection, unique to the Netherlands. This canvas of a shimmering sky above rough seas was the stimulus in examining the extent to which the sublime, which first climaxed around Romantic artists such as Turner and Caspar David Friedrich, still applies to contemporary art. More light was compiled by writer and art critic Hans den Hartog Jager, and shows work by Bas Jan Ader (NL), Miroslaw Balka (PL), Ann Böttcher (SE), Vija Celmins (US), David Claerbout (BE), Tacita Dean (GB), Olafur Eliasson (DK/IS), Spencer Finch (US), Ragnar Kjartansson (IS), Gert Jan Kocken (NL), Wolfgang Laib (DE), Raquel Maulwurf (NL), Erik Odijk (NL), Katie Paterson (GB), Derk Thijs (NL), Wolfgang Tillmans (DE), William Turner (GB), Roy Villevoye (NL) and Guido van der Werve (NL).
