The Other Side/ A Hand of Cards
Nottingham Contemporary, Francis Upritchard
Exhibition catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibitions at Nottingham Contemporary 21 Jul – 30 Sep 2012: Francis Upritchard: A Hand of Cards/ Alfred Kubin: The Other Side.
The catalogue details over 20 new works Upritchard made for the Nottingham Contemporary exhibition, seven “soldier” figures; seemingly captured mid attack, the group is perhaps influenced by the many medieval myths of Nottingham. Some of these included a gathering of her melancholic hippies, or “holy fools.” In one sense these sculptures address the failures of the 1960s and 1970s counter-culture and its gaudy, individualistic “alternative” aftermath.
Alfred Kubin (1877–1959) was a late symbolist whose work also anticipated the dreamworlds of Surrealism. His beautifully executed drawings remain some of the most disturbing images of the early 1900s. This was the first major exhibition in Britain devoted to this extraordinary work for many decades and follows important recent reappraisals of his art at Neue Galerie in New York and Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
