Is Art Beneath You?
Contents Page
Art of Space, Art of Suspension (x2) and Art of Flight are four works which were submitted (of which one will be chosen) for an exhibition of work on the canvas of some of the deckchairs in Hyde Park/Kensington Gdns.
The images and text were produced at a workshop set up by Alice Evans at the Serpentine Gallery and run by Michael Peel. Work was produced by a variety of means including collage, photography, painting, drawing, computer manipulation and the extensive use of a photocopier courtesy of Canon.
The screen printing of the chosen images will be carried out by K2.
The exhibition opened on August 9th on the Serpentine Gallery lawn.
Birdwoman
Birdwoman was recently shown at the Vital Art 1998 exhibition at the Atlantis Gallery in Brick Lane. The huge space above the Artists' material store housed the work of approximately 75 artists. The emphasis was obviously on variety rather than coherence; there was a lot of work to enjoy and something to suit most tastes. Photography and digital work was relegated to a smaller part of the space, but by the end of the second private view (one for friends and family and one for potential purchasers etc) there were sales of both including a large scale digital work.
The exhibition was presented by London Arthouse and Workplace Art.
