Today we are putting the finishing touches to Roee Rosen’s first UK solo show…
Vile, Evil Veil opens this week and we are really excited about how the gallery space at Rivington Place has transformed to accomodate the installation
‘Live and Die as Eva Braun’ with several interior walls constructed especially to display the text and image based work – including 51 paintings!
We are also pleased to have a new work created by the artist for the window of Rivington Place. It will cover all 5 panels on the street facing windows with images in very bright colours – pink and orange!
Here’s a few snaps of the installation:

Double Pendulum – the artist’s new film explores how exercise, identity and ritual are affected by the air we breathe
Double Pendulum, Faisal Abdu'allah, 2011
Double Pendulum, which is available to view until 17 July at the View Tube in East London, is a film about breathing and movement involving professional athletes and world-class leading scientists. It is screened through a large-scale outdoor projection with the Olympic stadium as the backdrop as part of the CREATE 11 festival. Sports professionals illustrate and map the journey that air takes through the human form alongside an engaging narrative from world-leading scientists from King’s College London and Brunel University. Find out more about this Invisible Dust project here.
Faisal Abdu’allah has worked with Iniva several times; an example is the exhibition Veil which took place in 2003, which showed at the New Art Gallery, Walsall, and toured to Liverpool, Oxford and Stockholm. The exhibition examined the veil as one of the most powerful symbols in contemporary culture. Twenty artists and film-makers addressed the question of the veil in all its complexities and ambiguities, challenging any single or fixed cultural interpretation. Abdu’allah exhibited ‘The Last Supper’ as part of this exhibition.
