On November 16, Berlin-
based artist Ceal Floyer
makes her triumphant return
to London with a solo show
that takes over the recently
renovated Lisson Gallery.
Known for her sly sense of
material humor, Floyer's
upcoming exhibition
promises to address—or
perhaps more accurately,
undress—the updated white
cube. "The subtle but
significant remodeling of
Lisson's space since my last
show there seemed to call
for a subtle but significant
change of approach (even
the door has moved around
the corner)," she says
nonchalantly. You can almost
hear her smirk.

"When Tara Willis and I set out to curate a show together,
we quickly landed on movement, place and identity as
central themes uniting our work," says Grace Deveney,
the assistant curator at Chicago's Museum of
Contemporary Art. The resulting group exhibition,
"Groundings," invites six artists into the museum to
perform and rehearse as if full-time residents. Deveney
adds, "We hope this show awakens in our viewers a new
consideration of the forces—both seen and unseen—that
govern our daily lives." MCACHICAGO.ORG

This past February, New
Yorkers were treated to a rare
showing of Sue Williams's
early paintings at Skarstedt's
uptown gallery. The cheerful
palette and blatant eroticism of
her '90s canvases provide
context for the bodily
abstractions in her new work.
Those traveling to London this
fall can see this transition in all
its glory, at Williams's exhibition
of new paintings on view at
Skarstedt's UK location.
