by
Posted 11/28/12

20121128171322-crash_test_dummy_portrait Tom Estes Live Art Performance  
by
Tom Estes at LUBOMIROV-EASTON October 26th, 2012 - November 24th, 2012
Posted 11/28/12

The work of artist Tom Estes has been described as “darkly disturbing & hauntingly beautiful”. Photographer, videographer and creator of multi-media performance & installation, artist Tom Estes has been hung, played and performed in a few of the world’s right places and a couple of deliciously wrong ones. Often site specific, interactive or suggestive of a latent performative quality, Estes’ interventions, stealth art and strange attractions seem to infer a surreal wit drawn from early... [more]

This evening we took down our first Espacio Gallery Printmakers' show. Some of us have shown work together in other collective shows, but this is the first time it has all been print related. Eighteen of Espacio's printmakers, with eighteen different ideas about images, techniques,size, presentation, framing - it couldnt have been more diverse and certainly proved very interesting for fellow artists and visitors alike. The quality was superb, feedback was terrific, and sales reflected this. Man... [more]

GEOslant with Legacy Russell: A Conversation with Cécile B. Evans  
by
Posted 11/14/12

I had recently encountered the work of artist Cécile B. Evans here in London at an open studio night at GasWorks. Located in South London, GasWorks houses a gallery, studios, and an international residency program. Evans recently wrapped up her residency there. I was drawn to her video work because it made use of a sort of Apple-computer-screen-saver infused visuality, existing somewhere in the realm between the seamless flash of an MTV music video and the fog of a digitized dream. These n... [more]

David Chalkley, Ute Essig, Mars Gomes, Caro Halford, Araba Ocran, Charley Peters, Paul Stanley, Ventiko at Brixton East October 13th, 2012 - October 30th, 2012
Posted 10/31/12

Bad Behaviour show review Oct 2012   On the walk from Brixton train station to visit Bad Behaviour, past clothes stalls, car mechanics and food wholesalers which operate underneath the arches – including the wonderfully named ‘Just Yams etc.’ – I wondered how this group exhibition was going to position itself.  Would it attempt to engage with the context of Brixton, its independent spirit and history of rebellion and rioting  – or was the ‘bad behaviour’ of the title indicative...

Special Edition: Frieze London #1  
by
Posted 10/29/12

FRIEZE BITES by Charlotte Jansen Frieze has become synonymous with "modern and cool" – or so says The Guardian. Whoever is saying it, it is true that there will be fashion magazines snapping street style shots of the COS-clad (COS in fact being one of the partners of Frame this year, Frieze’s embyronic sibling) visitors. Frieze has built a brand that has made contemporary art "covetable", fashionable, and, the corollary would be, uninviting. So, what do London’s maverick art types really get up... [more]

Special Edition: Frieze London #2

Posted 10/29/12

THINKING OUTSIDE THE PARK: Frieze and Beyond by Marianne Templeton Frieze Art Fair is back, and this time it's got company: the inaugural Frieze Masters, bringing an art-historical dimension and additional blue-chip buying options to the London art circuit's flashiest and most notoriously cashed-up event of the year. The fair's tenth anniversary promises to be just as messy and glamorous and overcrowded as usual. Don't be deterred by the inevitable queues: for the non-rich, Frieze is worth visiting for... [more]

The Fall Previews: Europe Edition  
by
Posted 9/11/12

SCULPTURALLY INCLINED by ArtSlant London Editor Charlotte Jansen Having been overshadowed by its omnipotent cultural kin – sport – this summer, this autumn should be a phlegmatic return for visual art forms in London. The vestiges of a turbulent few years, socially, economically and culturally, still remain in the city, however, and it seems to have inspired a new spate of exhibitions that consider environments and space – from the contemplative, to the laconic and the humourous. Assessing the phys... [more]

20120207085639-2 The Human Endeavour: 'Bauhaus: Art as Life' at the Barbican  
by
Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Hannes Meyer, László Moholy-Nagy, Gunta Stölzl, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe at Barbican Art Gallery May 3rd, 2012 - August 12th, 2012
Posted 8/19/12

All too frequently the presentation and packaging of the Bauhaus to audiences has been to focus on the leading male quartet of Gropius, van der Rohe, Breuer and Meyer as the pioneers of a cold, precise, machine-driven sect whose tubular chairs and avant-garde works became stereotypical hallmarks of a ‘bourgeois’ European formalism. Barbican’s ‘Bauhaus: Art as life’ aims to inject the forgotten human endeavour and encounters that took place at Weimar and Dessau, back at the centre of the sc... [more]

  The baby of Carlos de Lins is fast becoming adult - without intermediate childhood ! Having searched for premises in the Brick Lane area for about two years, he was thrilled ( and no doubt relieved) to finally find a gallery space at 159 Bethnal Green Rd, London E2 7DG. After two months of frantic work by builders, and the group's artists, the beautifully refurbished space opened to the public with an inaugural exhibition, which showcased 87 of the 100 members. This was swiftly followed b... [more]

20120525012859--1 Shadows on Parade: Nicol Vizioli I The Italian photographer and London College of Fashion's MA student talks about her Arts Gallery expo, and gives us an exclusive preview of her images  
by
Nicol Vizioli at Arts Gallery May 17th, 2012 - June 29th, 2012
Posted 5/25/12

DAZED DIGITAL Text by Anna Battista Caravaggio imbued his paintings with an appealing poetic reality using contrasts of shade and light. Photographer Nicol Vizioli somehow manages to do the same in her images that mix tenebrism, realism and fantasy in dramatic and evocative representations. Vizioli employs chiaroscuro techniques to create her mythically pagan or magically mystic compositions in which the human and animal world go back to an ancestral time. Born in Rome, where she studied Cin... [more]
