german photographer olaf otto becker’s new series ‘above zero’ captures the west coastline
of greenland, in which he travelled 4000 km between 2003 and 2004, in a small dingy.
the sole purpose of his trip there was to portray this coastal region with his 8 x 10 inch
large format camera, which often made it a physically strenuous, and sometimes life-threatening
journey among the glacial crevasses and snow melt flows.
each image has GPS data attached to it: seconds and minute degrees, much like a scientific
experimental set-up. capturing the expansive beauty of the glacial landscape, emphasizing its silence,
melancholy and the sublime of this land that few people know. his photographic study also exhibits
the existential threat which is being laid upon the region. because even as a place which is uninhabited,
the consequences of human influences are present: dust and soot in the air form black,
crusty deposits which, in conjunction with global warming are accelerating the melting of the ice sheets,
that will no doubt result in an unavoidable catastrophe.

the work of the godfather of intellectual pop art (pop-fine-art) richard hamilton,
is being presented in a solo show at the serpentine gallery in london. the exhibition
‘richard hamilton: modern moral matters’ starts off the 40th anniversary year for the gallery
and is the first presentation of hamilton’s work in london since 1992. it will include
several new works created specifically for this show.
working since the 1950s, hamilton has embraced many different media over this period including
painting, printmaking, installation, typography and industrial design. this exhibition reassesses
the nature of the british artist’s pioneering contribution, focusing on hamilton’s political
or ‘protest’ works.

the installations, prints and paintings on show deal with a subject matter which covers
international politics, riots, terrorist acts and war (including the conflict in northern ireland
and the iraq wars), examining how these conflicts are represented by media, such as television
and the internet. through the fragmentation of images, manipulation of space and reference
to different styles and genres, hamilton’s work interrogates the representations that surround us,
yet his analysis of the image is counterbalanced by an underlying, allegoric lyricism,
through which he reinvigorates the genres of portraiture and history painting.
this survey of hamilton’s political works explore the artist’s working processes and the varied ways
in which he uses photographic material. it investigates his continued interest of creating multiples
of a single iconic image as both a mirror and a critique of the visual overload created by the media.
the exhibition is curated by julia peyton-jones, director, hans ulrich obrist, co-director
and sophie o’brien, exhibition curator, serpentine gallery.

richard hamilton was born in 1922.
he studied at the royal academy schools from 1938 until it closed for the war in 1940.
too young for conscription, he was sent by the ministry of labour to be trained for nine months
to become a draughtsman. he then worked in an armaments factory until he was able to return
to the royal academy schools when it reopened in 1946.
he later studied at the slade school of art.
his first solo show was held in 1950 and from there on, he became one of the most significant
artists working in the UK. he was a key member and exponent of the independent group,
formed in the 1950s by a group of artists and writers at the institute of contemporary arts.
hamilton taught at the london central school of arts and crafts and the university of newcastle
upon tyne, but gave up teaching full-time in 1966. always engaging with a wide range
of technological processes within his art, hamilton began creating computer generated works
in the 1980s. he has had a long career as a printmaker and in 1983 won the world print council award.
retrospective exhibitions of hamilton’s work have been held in the UK at the hanover gallery (1964),
the tate gallery (1970 and 1992) and he represented britain at the venice art biennale in 1993.

richard hambleton rose to fame in the early 1980’s when like his contemporaries,
jean-michel basquiat and keith haring, he used the streets of new york as his canvas for
visually arresting public art, most notably his ‘shadowman’ and ‘crime scene’ series.
hambleton has been labeled ‘the godfather of street art’.

the last surviving member of the east village art movement, hambleton saw what fame
and drug use did to his close friends, and for the last 20 years has led a relatively reclusive
life on the lower east side of manhattan. despite a low public profile, hambleton has continued
to create and his works can be found in the permanent collections of various museums.
amongst many, this list includes the MoMA, the brooklyn museum, the houston museum
of fine art and the andy warhol museum. he was chosen for the venice biennale in 1984.
