Dave Hullfish Bailey & Nils Norman: Surrounded by Squares
I managed to get to the current exhibition, 'Surrounded By Squares', at Raven Row this weekend, it runs until November 1st and I highly recommend you take a trip down. I ended up spending a healthy chunk of my afternoon there in the end and through some discussion, with a friend, the staff and a visiting architecture class (even one of the artists himself at one point), I felt we uncovered some real depth in what to me was an exciting, considered and well executed show.

hi guys,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Sophie Calle and Faisal Al Abdullah, two related but almost counterposing exhibitions around ideas of portraiture.. at the Whitechapel... if you are interested in portraiture and/or dialogical models of work these two adopt completely different ways of working, but both seem to offer a portrait or interpretation of another person.
also this frieze discussion on theory as suggested by Andy and Sarah is really well worth a listen.. esp to Simon Critchley's points about a few philosophical theories being used to cover artists works wholesale "like a margarine"!

Hi Bex,
ReplyDeleteCan I turn this into a post? I feel more people would see it that way.
