Pictures & Scripts is a series of 20 new paintings that juxtapose still images appropriated from black and white films with excerpts from fictive narrative film scripts. Removed from their original contexts, these appropriated film stills capture moments of paused action, within which selected forms have been discretely over-painted in monochrome fields. Pictures & Scripts will be on view until April 25, 2015 at Marian Goodman Gallery in London.

MAMA Gallery presents an exhibition of new work by American artist James Georgopoulos. The exhibition explores familiar themes and tropes of sexuality, consumerism, and money worship – thoughtfully disguised in popular culture as the American dream. Following in the same lineage of artists such as John Chamberlain or even Marcel Duchamp, by using objects – old car parts, disused slot machines and other jettisoned materials – Georgopoulos investigates the self-cannibalizing culture of consumerism. There Is No End will be on view February 28 through April 4, 2015. The opening reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2015 from 6:00PM - 9:00PM

The Salon at Automatic Sweat presents American Remains, an exhibition of sculptures and installations by SeMeN SPeRmS and Nick Stewart. The exhibition presents a collection of artifacts from a proposed mythology that straddles the indistinct line between American history and rural legend. Inspired by the decrepit highway-side nowhere towns of the southwest, the works offer warped satellite dishes and abandoned single-wide trailers as the weathered remnants of westward expansion. These ubiquitous emblems of a proud historical narrative about a prosperous America are presented alongside idiosyncratic icons of contemporary desert folklore, characterized by supernatural suspicion, eerie phenomena and UFO sightings. The exhibition on view now at The Salon. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper
