Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi is pleased to announce the first major solo exhibition in the UK by Scottish, London-based artist, Morag Keil (*1985)at ICA. "Moarg Kiel" features new and reimagined earlier works that span the last eight years of her career. More here: https://www.ica.art/exhibitions/morag-keil-moarg-kiel

Keil’s practice straddles installation, film, painting and drawing. Her work often incorporates a stripped back aesthetic, comprising both domestic objects and found materials as well as technological advancements that play a role in everyday life.

"The bricolages derive from this vision and from my chopped-up reading of Sanguineti's poems. I insert his stories grafted onto mine, I have to chop up either the figure or the animal like a private tragedy, which I then hope to make less tragic by the colours and by the way of painting it.” —Carol Rama

Carol Rama (1918 - 2015) was often conceived as an isolated eccentric living and working in Turin. Over more than seven decades, she developed a radical body of works that use figuration and abstraction to oppose the political ideology of her time and speak to ideas of desire, sacrifice, repression, and liberation.

Veit Laurent Kurz’s recent exhibitions expand upon an imagined, artificial biosphere the artist has crafted over the past years. While alluding to formerly inhabited worlds, Kurz’s post-technological landscapes are recast as ecosystems in an ancient future. Made primarily from painted Styrofoam and modelling materials, they resemble production units for the manufacture of the herbal juice Herba – 4, a recurring fictional product.
