Jon Rafman, currently working with the Zabludowicz Collection on his first major UK exhibition, will showcase work for Canada's most prestigious prize for contemporary art. The 2015 Sobey Art Award exhibition opens at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia today, presenting work by five of Canada's most exciting artists aged under 40. Jon Rafman's explorations into the physiological impact of digital technology will be exhibited alongside work by Raymond Boisjoly, Sarah Anne Johnson, Abbas Akhavan, and Lisa Lipton. The winner will be announced at the Award Announcement Gala on 28 October 2015. Please visit the Sobey Art Award website for further information.

The Zabludowicz Collection's Annual Commission with Jon Rafman will open 8 October 2015 and continue until 20 December 2015. The exhibition will feature a new film produced in association with Warp Records and a new interactive environment incorporating Oculus Rift technology, alongside reconfigurations of celebrated existing work. Also opening is Zabludowicz Collection Invites: Charles Richardson.

Join us to celebrate both exhibitions at a special opening preview on 7 October 2015 from 6-9pm followed by an off-site afterparty at Metal Works, Islington.
