John M. Armleder - Dairy Art Centre

John M. Armleder: Quicksand is at Dairy Art Centre through Spring and Summer 2013.
The Dairy Art Centre is a brand new exhibition space showcasing the art collections of Frank Cohen and Nicolai Frahm; the gallery is a former dairy in Bloomsbury. 
For the first exhibition John Armleder has been given a free hand to occupy the spaces with an installation of paintings, sculptures, mirror balls and projections.
Armleder, a Swiss artist whose career reaches back to an association with Fluxus in the 1960s, is relatively little known in the UK. John Cage is  a particular influence on his diverse and playful work - for his 2009 exhibition at Galerie Andrea Caratsch in Zurich Armleder simply kept the previously exhibiting artist, Olivier Mosset's exhibition, as his own show!
