Castellani + Castellani
Castellani e Castellani is a special exhibition of both new and seminal work by Enrico Castellani, one of Italy's most influential artists.The show features new paintings that continue the dialogue set forth in his formative Angolare series as well as present his critically acclaimed Spazio Ambiente, a roomlike environment from 1970 that has rarely been exhibited publicly, and which is graciously on loan from the Fendi collection.Although created decades apart, the works exemplify Castellani's signature style and merge art, space and architecture to transcend the confines of painting.Formally trained as an architect, Castellani focuses on manipulating the surface configurations of his canvases to alter perceptions of space. In a recent interview with the artist, Hans Ulrich Obrist described Castellani's break from traditionally conceived paintings as 'an epiphany'.Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Hanuch of Venison, New York, 11 November 2011 - 7 January 2012.
Pedro Cabrita Reis
London focuses on the four London projects to date by renowned Portuguese artist Pedro Cabrita Reis, at Haunch of Venison and the Frieze Art Fair in 2005, Camden Arts Centre in 2004, and Pearl Projects in 2003. Reis is interested in man's relationship to architecture and the fabricated environments in which we live. The exhibition included three sculptures and a group of five large scale monochrome paintings in sombre dark colours presented behind glass, creating perspectival boxes that reflect the room in which they are sited. On close inspection the monochrome fabric makes its material presence felt and the viewer's gaze flits between seeing their own image and the work's materiality. Included is a conversation between the artist and David Batchelor, and a major new essay by art critic Sarah Kent. Pedro Cabrita Reis (b.1956) represented Portugal at the 2003 Venice Biennale.
Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby
Acclaimed London based designers Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby are two of the most innovative design practitioners working in Britain today. Recently chosen to design the Olympic Torch for the London 2012 Games, they engage in many forms of design, from industrial design to architecture.Their collaborative exhibition Ascent, presented eight new pieces (and related drawings) inspired by the structures and engineered forms of moving craft: forms that have, what Barber and Osgerby refer to as 'hidden design'.Interest in these fields originated in their respective childhoods. Osgerby grew up close to a Royal Airforce base in Oxfordshire and spent many hours watching the airplanes flying there. Bar...
Abstract Expressionism
Published on the occasion of the artist's first exhibition with Haunch of Venison, Universal Recipient presents Jitish Kallat's engagement with the city of his birth, Mumbai. Interested in using language of the downtrodden, he appropriates the graffiti, peeling paint and broken glass of the city into the language of his work, addressing both the health of the nation and Mumbai's identity as an ever expanding megalopolis. Caste tensions, city planning, government ineptitude and social change are all part of the fabric Kallat weaves in his distinctive and Pop-inspired graphic style.
Animals
Published to accompany the group exhibition of the same name at Haunch of Venison, June September 11 2004, this catalogue includes artworks by 17 acclaimed international contemporary artists from Europe and America which explore the issue of how the otherness of animals opens up new ways of thinking. The works question the common ways we understand animals, and rather than objectifying or anthropomorphising them, present them as beings in their own right, often incomprehensible and mysterious. most of the works are new or previously unseen in the UK, and a number have been made especially for this exhibition. The artists use a wide range of styles and media, including video, photography and sound sculpture. This variety of approaches gives the viewer the opportunity to consider both the subjectivity of animals and their difference from humans.

Forever Foreign: Forévér fõreign
'Förevêr Forèign' is the first UK solo show of Bengali-American artist Rina Banerjee at Haunch of Venison, London, introducing the New York-based artist's complex, seductive, corporeal oeuvre.
Jonas Burgert
For his first exhibition with Haunch of Venison, German painter Jonas Burgert has developed a new body of work that continues his interest in complex and mysterious narrative-style artworks. The exhibition features medium and large-scale painting, a large-scale drawing and one sculpture. The grotesque, the mystical and the fantastic provide the subject-matter for Burgert's art. Bold, sensuous and opulent, the atmosphere in his paintings is of a world of destruction and chaos. Working in luminous, seemingly fluorescent colours glowing amidst a backdrop of pale hues, the artist depicts an apocalyptic mood of an end time, visions of a netherworld, an unknown myth or a peculiar dream. The ritualistic, archaic actions that are taking place on the canvas seem to be chaotic and violent at first glance, but at the same time they have a strong sense of tranquillity and stillness about them. This book includes an interview between Jonas Burgert and Claudia Stockhausen and fully illustrates all artworks in the exhibition. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Jonas Burgert: Hitting Every Head at Haunch of Venison, London, 9 October - 7 November 2009.
