Bedford Gallery - USA [not uk]
I must confess I don't know anything about this artist's work, but I generally love the majority of what Stephen Friedman shows, not to mention my consideration that 'colony' by Tara Donovan is the best piece of work I have seen all year. [if you scroll through Donovan's work on the Stephen Friedman web site you will get to good images of 'colony'].
Paul McDevitt exhibited at the Cell Project Space. click on link and on title of post to see images of his work.
1 - 29 Sept
Stephen Friedman Gallery
25-28 Old Burlington Street

'Same Old Scene'
Rachel Cattle who recently exhibited at the Centre for Recent Drawing is exhibiting with Steve Richards. For the show they are showing animation and a comic. I expect everything to be very hand made with a hint of underlying horror.
Rachel Cattle's show at the Centre for Recent Drawing was excellent and so I am looking forward to seeing the 'stills' the drawings moving.
7 Sept - 8 Oct

The reason why I am flagging up this artists work is because of his exploration of architecture. Through cuts that create viewing windows, vistas through buildings. He also makes films that seem to entirely use appropriated footage but fascinating collage of images which play with conventions of films and documentaries. The exhibition at IBID looks as if it will be focusing on his film works.
