MONDAY

Tonight the Tricycle Gallery in Kilburn presents 'Instabilities of Necka', the first solo exhibition of Royal College of Art painter Tuesday Nesbitt. For this show she has painstakingly portrayed a complex system of variables using Necka cubes, employing a complicated mathematical/logical approach to the production of art. Created through technical hard-edged application, her bright colour experiments on transparent acrylic are trapped between transparency and opacity.

"The forms transgress from the finite to the infinite though the beauty and unreliability of colour... we assume that a cube is a cube when in fact all six sides are not visible"

So Tuesday questions our perception through the meticulous construction of carefully rationalized yet visually seductive paintings. And she's undoubtedly a very talented artist, but she once locked me out of college and I've never really forgiven her for it. oh well. More information is available on the Tricycle website.

THURSDAY

Thursday evening brings two new events at The Two Jonnys, an interesting project space operating out of a new studio complex in Bethnal Green, complete with circular ping pong table. Firstly, it's the grand unveiling of their new sign, commissioned by Lee Marshall. And secondly, it's the private view for 'Aesthetic of the Fragile', a solo exhibition of young Belgian artist Mathias Spriet especially selected by IPS, an artist-run gallery from Ghent. His drawings, paintings and sculptures usually involve direct translations of forms found in nature, often weeds, and he strives to capture a refined, melancholic beauty:

"fragility can be perceived in many ways: something easily broken, something subtle, something only experienced for a single moment in its present state or something so delicate that the investigation of its very being is awe inspiring; providing a moment of clarity in one's thoughts. This momentary lucid experience... is a moment of beauty brought about by that image or object"

So please visit The Two Jonnys website.

FRIDAY

And then Friday is the first day of 'Clusterfuck', a new commission for Shoreditch's A Foundation/Rochelle School by Nomad, an independent arts organisation that facilitates new dialogues between artists, exhibitions and the public. This ambitious collaborative project features contributions by Stephen Cornford, Nathan Parker, Tai Shani and Henry Stringer, embracing "hybrid authorship [and] creating a relational mess for both artists and audience alike to navigate".

Most excitingly, current Central Saint Martins BA student Henry Stringer will be installing the 'Velocoaster'. This 8' tall wooden rollercoaster/velodrome structure is developed out of his previous project 'The Hannah Barry Ghetto Velodrome Association', an amazing installation bringing fixed-gear BMXs to the top of Peckham multi-storey car park last summer.

Visitors will be encouraged to race around the new indoors circuit on custom-built mechanical bikes modified with electric guitars and amplifiers, passing through a kaleidoscopic infinity tunnel hosting both mechanical and human performers. This sounds rather amazing, and all the details are available on Nomad's homepage.
