Inside the White Cube: Mitchell Squire
North Galleries
White Cube Bermondsey
7 September - 11 November 2012
Mitchell Squire's practice is founded on an exploration of how artefacts are projections of the body and how material culture can become a lens through which to view society and history. Squire’s work typically consists of a few strategically appropriated components that are loaded with socio-political associations and personal narratives to underline specific historic events.

Inside the White Cube: William E. Jones
North Galleries
White Cube Bermondsey
7 September - 11 November 2012
William E. Jones will exhibit a series of prints depicting idealised allegorical male figures that he found on 19th and 20th century stock certificates. Used to represent the monetary value of the stocks and shares, the original illustrations have been blown up to human scale to increase their significance. Two films questioning the strategies of control implemented by agencies, such as the CIA, will also be on display.

Inside the White Cube: Isabelle Cornaro
North Galleries
White Cube Bermondsey
7 September - 11 November 2012
Through film, sculpture, drawing and painting, French artist Isabelle Cornaro re-evaluates objects by exploring the tensions between their aesthetic and cultural value and by questioning meaning through formal and conceptual modes of display.

White Cube Mason's Yard
14 September - 10 November 2012
This exhibition by Berlin-based artist Magnus Plessen features twelve recent works. Known for his paintings that oscillate between abstraction and figuration, Plessen's new body of work focuses on rotation and revolution as a means of re-ordering structure and dimensionality within the painting. Using a diverse range of painterly methods and dynamic compositions, his works are studies on perception, structure, material and transience. This is the first solo exhibition of Plessen's work in the UK.

White Cube Hoxton Square
21 September - 3 November 2012
In her recent practice, Runa Islam has explored the syntax, materiality and histories of visual representation, often in relation to the medium of film. Adopting diverse sculptural and cinematic approaches in the presentation of her work, she disrupts, alters and enhances visual and architectural space, shifting perception and drawing attention to the act of seeing.
