2010 February : EXIT

HAUNTED

Posted on 2010-02-22

Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance examines myriad ways photographic imagery is incorporated into recent practice and in the process underscores the unique power of reproductive media while documenting a widespread contemporary obsession, both collective and individual, with accessing the past.
The works included in the exhibition range from individual photographs and photographic series, to sculptures and paintings that incorporate photographic elements, and to videos, both on monitors and projected, as well as film, performance, and site-specific installations. Included in the show will be work by such artists as Marina Abramović, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Sophie Calle, Tacita Dean, Stan Douglas, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Roni Horn, Zoe Leonard, Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Jeff Wall, and Andy Warhol.

Exhibition runs from March 26th to September 6th, 2010.

REY ORTEGA “THE LAND” AND ROB CORLESS “OFFERINGS”

Posted on 2010-02-22

All three artists take us on a fantastic journey of storytelling, imagination, and discovery. Rey Ortega’s The Land is about a fictional people and place of his own design explored through an outsider’s point of view. He examines the land, its people, their architecture, objects, and culture of this made-up world.Rob Corless’ Offerings marries his daily reality with a surreal world that beats about in his head. He takes familiar images and positioned them where only the truly imaginative can tread. And Julian Callos’ Into the Unknown leaves the familiar behind and explores uncharted territory, while discovering one’s self in the process.

Opposite – “The Sparrow Visit” by Rob Corless

Exhibition runs through to June 5th, 2010.

BUDDY NESTOR – EVERY GIRL GOES TO HELL

Posted on 2010-02-22

Buddy Nestor began his career in paint in 1997. He’d recently had a son and decided to teach himself. In 1999, he traveled the world on an aircraft carrier. This allowed plenty of time to paint, and solidified Nestor’s interest in art and painting. When he arrived back home, he pursued a BFA in painting.
“Every Girl Goes to Hell” is Nestor’s latest body of work. He takes beautiful models and makes them ugly. The series is on show early April through the remainder of the month.

BBLESSING X LOST

Posted on 2010-02-22

BBlessing is preparing a collection of t-shirts as part of their Spring/Summer 2010 collection that pay tribute to the 6th and final season of the “LOST” television series. The t-shirts, designed by Nicholas Kratochvil, will hit stores when “LOST” comes back on the air next week. Each of the seven t-shirts pulls from the show’s story, including “‘Another Life’ – Inspired by Desmond’s line ‘See you in another life, brother’” and “‘Good Vibrations’ – This Beach Boys song is the code that Charlie has to put into the Looking Glass station computer to make contact with Penny. It’s also the last song he hears before he is grenaded by a kamikaze Russian cyclops and drowns.”

DAVID SHRIGLEY FOR PRINGLE

Posted on 2010-02-22

Pringle of Scotland has commissioned Glasgow-based artist David Shrigley to produce a corporate film. The 3-minute animation depicts the making of jumpers and cardigans over the past nearly 200 year history of the Scottish brand. Shrigley has used his artistic strategy of dead-pan wit and dark humour to narrate how jumpers are made today. His anarchic voice is ever present throughout the film as he draws the wonderful portray of an odd and insane fashion world.
