Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms
7 October 2008 - 18 January 2009
No artist living in the second half of the 20th century has made a deeper impression on popular culture and consciousness than Andy Warhol (1928-87). The Hayward presents a major exhibition that brings a fresh perspective to his work, showing works from the 1950s through to the 1980s. The exhibition presents Warhol’s films, screen-tests, videos and television programmes, which combined with extraordinary archive material, seminal paintings and installations, illuminates his creative process. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Eva Meyer-Hermann and is organised by the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; and The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh.

Robin Rhode
7 October - 7 December 2008
Berlin-based South African artist Robin Rhode (born 1976) is a major new talent on the international art scene. He has developed a growing reputation for brilliantly inventive performances, photographs and drawings. Rhode combines large-scale charcoal drawings with charming and sharp-witted performances, often acted out on the street. In his video animations, Rhode tries to interact with two-dimensional representations of everyday objects; he draws a candle and tries to blow it out; he paints a bicycle and tries to ride it. Born and raised in Johannesburg, Rhode’s do-it-yourself art comments on urban poverty, the politics of leisure and the commodification of youth cultures.
