Jeff McMillan South Face 
27 February – 26 March 2016  
Handel Street Projects is pleased to announce South Face, an exhibition of new works by American/British artist Jeff McMillan. The position of painting as the ultimate form in visual art, with its heavy burden of representation and abstraction, doesn’t make it an easy art form to approach today. For McMillan, an abiding interest in the physical essence of paint and its attendant processes of making, have led to ever more straightforward and reductive paintings that are not reliant on image. His paintings are at times reminiscent of minimalist works, and often are not just two dimensional, but hover between painting and sculpture. At the same time their manufacture is very low tech, often involving found materials and simple processes. read more

Gerard Williams, Cultural Currency
9 October – 28 November 2015
Handel Street Projects is pleased to announce Cultural Currency an exhibition of new works by British artist Gerard Williams. The exhibition consists of a number of small birch plywood tablets, each of which encapsulates at least two genuine, complete bank notes. These are made partially visible through small windows disclosing numeric denominations as well as isolated details such as illustrations, patterns etc., the origin of the notes is obscured. Cultural Currency plays with relative values, with the value of art, the value of money, with connections between culture, history and financial capital, with value and the passage of time, with the position of nations relative to world financial hierarchies. Each double-sided work is a unique variation on the theme. Whilst the notes are loose and unfolded, they are also permanently sealed within the work, therefore in order to realize their monetary value, or their value as collectables, the artwork would have to be destroyed. read more …

It is commonly known that many empires paved the road to industrialization and enforced hygienic standards on many nations around the world. These types of loo are still a hygienic standard in many formerly colonized countries as well as the Austro-Hungarian railway tracks being in use in central Europe even today and Spanish urbanism in Americas, these different infrastructures still silently talk about former borderlines among historical empires. read more …
