| Javier Rodriguez works with collage, paper-cuts, and prints. Using materials from collected books, texts and selected printed imagery, he creates precise finite expressions and explorations of recurring social patterns and history. Collecting the billboards announcing Hackney Gazette's headlines, Rodriguez has created a series of 30 hand-assembled collages, each unique.
|  untitled (Hackney Gazette, Moleman), 2010 74x100cm, collage on paper, unique in a series series of 30 £250 unframed |
No Pudo Su Estado is a result of the artist's work with his own newspaper project Ultimo Mundo Universal. Working with printing presses, Rodriguez collected maculaturas, sheets of waste paper. The subtle differences between the sequential prints become the basis for this new work. |  untitled (no pudo su estado), 2010 38x34cm, print on MDF panel £300 |
| Fri∂finnsson has been at the forefront of the development of conceptual art not only in Iceland, but also in Europe, influencing generations of artists since the 1970s. His work is celebrated for its lyricism and stark poetry that transcends the often-commonplace subjects and materials that he uses. In London, Fri∂finnsson exhibited in a solo show at the Serpentine Gallery in 2007, and has represented Iceland at the 45th Venice Biennale. |  Untitled (More or Less), 2010 screenprint, two 36x36cm, edition of 50, signed £550 unframed |
| House Project is a document of one of the Fri∂finnsson’s most renowned works. In 1974, the artist built the house depicted here, in a remote area of Iceland. It was based on a literary source describing an ‘inside-out’ dwelling, where the exterior was decorated with wallpaper, curtains and pictures. |  House Project, 2007 gicleé print, 19x28.8cm, edition of 100+20ap £450 unframed |

| Kama Sokolnicka focuses on images as a function of memory, emotions, perception, necessity and the phenomenon of horror vacui. She uses various media in order to analyze relations among space, human beings and objects. The series of collages, which Sokolnicka considers a tool for commentary in a lightweight form, reflects on the specific social circumstances and discourse in her native Poland, and forms part of her new project Disappoint of View (2010-11). |
