Laylah Ali

the kiss and other warriors
17 January – 24 February 2007

Ali’s first UK solo show includes paintings and newly commissioned drawings. Playful while at the same time deeply disturbing, the cartoon-like imagery with their ambiguous narratives continues her exploration of the social dynamics of violence and cultural difference.

Discrepant Abstraction

For anyone who thinks the question of abstract art is settled, this book will come as a surprise. Discrepant Abstraction includes almost everything that does not neatly fit into institutional narratives that once regarded ‘purity’ as the ultimate criterion for abstract art.

Annotating Art’s Histories is a first-of-its-kind series that adds fresh cultural perspectives to the history of 20th century art.
