Guy Allott is a painter, sculptor, printmaker and ceramicist who draws from science fiction and landscape painting to create works that are fantastic and playful. At the same time he remains somewhat apart from these genres themselves, satirising and twisting their tropes.
Allott recently showed in Milchstraßenverkehrsordnung (Space is the Place) at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions, including Reception (Berlin, DE), MAC VAL (Vitry-sur-Seine, FR), Zabludowicz Collection (London, UK), and Chung King Project (Los Angeles, US). His works are included in collections at the V&A Museum and the British Library in London, in the Zabludowicz Collection, the UBS Art Collection, the Fidelity Art Collection, and many other public, corporate and private collections.
Allott’s first solo show at MOUNTAINS is called “I Am A Building” and is inspired from Mary Shelley’s 1818 Gothic novel “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus”.

CV

John Matthew Heard’s recent work is the potential for institutional overdetermination. To this end caption cards, audio guides, and catalogs have been produced to crowd the image of his paintings. An ongoing obsession with the difference between a thing and itself has focused displays on display, labels, frames and the backsides of frontsides.
John Matthew Heard studied at Oberlin College and graduated from CalArts in 2010. He also studied with Michael Krebber, Josef Strau and Haegue Yang at Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. For his audio/visual installation Paintings for the Blind and Dyslexic John Matthew Heard was awarded with the Städelschule graduation prize 2018.
