The Ben Uri Research Unit (BURU) is happy to present Franciszka Themerson’s Stories from the Life. The exhibition includes the paintings and drawings from her student days at the School of Fine Art in Warsaw and some of her later works in London. Most of them have never been exhibited in England. Of the early works, made in Poland there are 3 paintings, and 19 drawings made between 1929 and 1933, which will be shown in the main gallery. When the exhibition ends, they will be donated to the National Museum in Warsaw. The lower galleries will include works from the 1940s when Franciszka begins to experiment with abstract forms and bright colours. Even though Franciszka Themerson illustrated and designed books, was director of Gaberbocchus Press, made films with her husband Stefan Themerson, designed for the theatre, she was primarily a painter. Her paintings developed from the very tightly crafted, densely coloured scenes of events within interiors of the earliest works, to later images whose meaning could be read in several different ways. The comparison is both puzzling and interesting. The exhibition is accompanied by a small catalogue about the early works, edited by Jasia Reichardt and designed by Pedro Cid Proença.

Chilean born songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Alain Johannes embarks on a 5 date UK tour in the spring of 2024. The list of musicians that Alain Johannes has worked with reads like an Encyclopaedia of California Rock History. In high school he was in bands with Flea, Hillel Slovak, Jack Irons and Anthony Kiedis, all of whom would form the Red Hot Chili peppers. Later Alain formed eleven with Natasha Shneider and jack irons. They toured with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, and for several years recorded and toured with queens of the stone age. As a writer, touring musician, producer and engineer, Alain has worked with Chris Cornell, Them Crooked Vultures, Pj Harvey, Sound City Players, No Doubt, Mark Lanegan, Jimmy Eat World, Queens Of The Stone Age, Brody Dalle and Arctic Monkeys. In 2020 Alain Johannes released his third studio record 'hum' on ipecac records, receiving critical acclaim. Now ready to embrace UK shores with his rich and varied back catalogue, Alain will be joined by Edinburgh based fuzz rockers Earl of Hell as not only tour support, but also joining Alain on stage as his touring band.
