Kader Attia, ‘Ghost’, 2007, Oeuvre en trois dimensions, Installation
In Ghost, a large installation of a group of Muslim women in prayer, Attia renders their bodies as vacant shells, empty hoods devoid of personhood or spirit. Made from tin foil - a domestic, throw away material - Attia’s figures become alien and futuristic, synthesising the abject and divine. Bowing in shimmering meditation, their ritual is equally seductive and hollow, questioning modern ideologies - from religion to nationalism and consumerism - in relation to individual identity, social perception, devotion and exclusion. Attia’s Ghost evokes contemplation of the human condition as vulnerable and mortal; his impoverished materials suggest alternative histories or understandings of the world, manifest in individual and temporal experience.

A new artistic lighting for Giulio Romano’s Pescherie (fish market) has launched the series of events to be held through the year in the city of Mantua, Italy’s 2016 Capital of Culture. Mantua, one of the most important centers of the Italian Renaissance, was ruled for four hundred years by the Gonzaga family. Prestigious artists like Pisanello, Leon Battista Alberti, Giulio Romano, and Correggio worked at their court.
Giulio Romano left Rome for Mantua in 1524. He dominated the artistic scene of the city until his death, in 1546. The most important of all his works is the Palazzo del Te, designed and frescoed between 1525 and 1535 as a suburban residence for Federico II Gonzaga.
The Pescherie, a double ashlar-work portico, were built around 1536 over the Rio (a canal connecting two of the artificial lakes that surround the city). Originally intended as a fish market, the area was connected with the so-called Beccherie, a public slaughterhouse built in the same period on another project by Giulio Romano and demolished around the first half of the 19th century. After decades of abandonment, the recent intervention aims to restore an urban space through the medium of light.

Peter Marlow’s photographs depicting all 42 of the cathedrals of the Church of England are to be exhibited inside The Chapel of Christ the Servant at Coventry Cathedral. This is the first time that the work has been displayed in one of the spaces featured in the series, and the first time the project has been exhibited outside of London. The display is a continuation of Coventry Cathedral ’s tradition of, and commitment to, exhibiting work by contemporary British artists.
