Louise Bourgeois and Gideon Rubin’s exceptional works are presented in the chapel of All Saints House. Curated by Beth Greenacre the exhibition runs until 27 October and coincides with Frieze London. The exceptional artworks are featured with a soundscape backdrop by Nicolas Godin of musical duo, AIR

The All Saints Chapel was the first purpose-built place of worship for the Society of All Saints Sisters of the Poor; rich in cultural and historic interest the chapel houses a wall painting from 1861 of the Crucifixion with attendant female saints by John Richard Clayton. The fresco, along with the convent’s purposeful history, which accommodated a women’s order, whilst serving as a space for women, provides a poignant context in which to house the work of Bourgeois and Rubin. Though working across different periods and from differ- ent perspectives both artists have, or had, a career-long exploration of the human form, particularly women’s bodies, exploring the important role that memory and time plays not only in the creation of art, but also in how we understand ourselves, the world and our surroundings.

Suspended from the ceiling is Louise Bourgeois’ work. For the artist, art offered privileged and unique access to the unconscious, as well as being a form of psychological release. And although a professed atheist, Bourgeois stated that she had “a religious temperament” when describing the emotional and spiritual energy that she poured into her work.
