  Art Critic London   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This turned out to be the perfect frame of mind in which to approach the first one-man show at the Lisson Gallery of the young British artist Simon Patterson.
His art is cerebral and witty and he has used the spaces at the Lisson so cleverly that a visit to the show lifts the spirits and delights the eye.
Painted on to the gallery wall near each kite is the name of an historical figure who both literally and metaphorically flew a kite, from Benjamin Franklin to Marconi (who used one as an aerial for his wireless).

 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Arts | Gallery guests become exhibit
Dozens of art fans were furious when they turned up to a gallery to find it locked and encased in corrugated iron.
The "exhibition" was held at a new branch of the Lisson Gallery in London.
Gallery director Nicholas Logsdail said he had a mixed reaction from guests, some of whom were angry at being locked out.

 ARCH'IT files / Tony Fretton interview
In some of the collective spaces of your buildings and projects (we think of the Lisson Gallery 2, the Hotel ProForma lobby and the courtyard in the Laban Dance Center) there are many 'open’ thresholds and no ultimate boundaries.
Galleries have had their own intentional language of neutrality for the last 35 years let's say, and that they are always restlessly trying to change.
Visitors came into the gallery through a door of etched glass that reduced but did not cut off the view of the street.

The Lisson Gallery has established itself as one of the principal private galleries in Britain.
The buildings we made for the Gallery in 1986 and 1992 are internationally recognised by curators, artists and the public for their architecture and quality of their art spaces.
The first project transformed a relatively modest existing building on Lisson Street by opening up a series of larger gallery spaces to accommodate the museum-scaled pieces that the Gallery's artists had begun to produce.

V ery few art galleries have a track record which would enable them to show half a dozen Turner prize-winners alongside a younger generation of artists who have yet to make their names.
But in the 1980s the Lisson Gallery was the place to see new work by sculptors such as Tony Cragg, Anish Kapoor and Richard Deacon, while in the 1990s it has been showing conceptual artists such as Douglas Gordon, Ceal Floyer and Simon Patterson.
But over the years I've come to see these messages as part of a single, seamless project in which the artist has attempted the impossible: to live each day, hour, and minute of his life fully conscious of his own mortality and therefore of the preciousness of the time remaining to him.

 Guardian Unlimited | Arts features | Santiago Sierra, Lisson gallery, London NW1
The gallery assistant with the gun reaches for a fresh canister.
The gallery looks like someone's studio, abandoned in the middle of things, with boxes of materials and grubby heaps of protective clothing, grey paper tacked to the floor and around the walls, and somewhere a neat pile of folded blankets.
In the end, we must attend to what is there, to the painful evidence of the work, its impotence and emptiness and violence, and a kind of shame.

 For Art
It became obvious from such solo shows in London as those at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1985 and at the Lisson Gallery in 1983 and 1985 that an articulate, humorous and accessible artist had arrived.
Opie's most recent exhibition in London, Imagine you are Driving (June-July 1996, Lisson Gallery), a dense installation of objects, painting and video, continued to examine life as a 'forest of signs' from the 'no-place' security of a car.
We were bidden to pass office buildings, a castle, to drive through a wood, see hills in the distance, the car itself, central to each section of the exhibition, becoming the lens through which we viewed such 'reality'.

His latest exhibition at Lisson, ‘God is Great and Belief Systems as Such’, presented works selected from a 15-year period, a number of which aimed to combine the sacred texts of the world’s three great monotheistic religions — the Torah, the New Testament and the Qur’an.
The first indication of any unification in the gallery was provided by a self-titled vinyl text work, God is Great (2005), situated in the window and written in the languages of Hebrew, English and Arabic.
God is Great (#2) (1991) was also positioned on the ground floor, and consisted of an eight-foot tall sheet of glass penetrated yet stabilized at the bottom by five large bound volumes of The Times.

 MODERN ART: “Anything goes”: gallery - 9 September, 2000
One of Australia’s leading portrait artists, Paul Fitzgerald, described to News Weekly how symptomatic the Lisson Gallery’s exhibition is of much of modern art.
“The Lisson Gallery chairman’s definition of art was identical with that of the spokesman for the Tate Gallery, Simon Wilson, when he was challenged over declaring a dilapidated ice cream cart a fine work of art.
Mr Fitzgerald said that when we link this Lisson Gallery exhibition with the gargantuan prices being paid for canvases covered with one flat colour and the degenerate works of Serrano (that were to be exhibited at National Gallery of Victoria) you cannot help reflecting on the prophetic words of Alexander Sozhensitsyn:

MICHAEL LANDY at CandA, is an artist of the same generation, who has chosen to go beyond signification to termination, the final destruction of his own work.
It was possible to go straight from Opie’s show at the Lisson Gallery (careful crossing the Euston Road) and so down to Oxford Street, to observe Landy liquidating his total personal possessions, through his SAAB, his knick knacks, personalia, the shirt off his back, down to his underpants.
This is a day by day process, shortly and inevitable to run to a close – so it would be logical to shred these too on the last day, rather than keep laundering on.
