Mid-February gathers momentum with a run of openings that move from reconstructed persona and fractured landscape to digital habit, cinematic transformation and painterly return. Across Soho, Marble Arch and Wharf Road, these new shows trace identity, memory and perception as something constantly shifting—shaped by what we inherit, what we overlook, and what we choose to see again.
Thursday 12th February
Bernheim, Mayfair 6PM – 8PM
Centerfolds, a solo exhibition by Cristine Brache. Centerfolds presents three interrelated bodies of work exploring persona, obsolescence, alienation, and the inherent power dynamics within each.
This entire body of work emerged from Brache’s discovery that Dorothy Stratten wrote poetry, a fact nearly absent from her biographies and documentaries. That omission became a catalyst for the project. As a poet herself, Brache was struck by the intimacy and solitude embedded in Dorothy Stratten’s writing, and by the gap between the inner life it reveals and the spectacle through which she’s culturally remembered.
