For the record ... working from a little heap of exhibition leaflets that's built itself up on the corner of the desk.
Contemporary Visions VI at Beers - (till 19 March) - it included a few pieces that felt like textiles, albeit stretched both literally and metaphorically -
|
Gijs Van Lith's work used sewn canvas too, stained and marked by oil and acrylic |
Sergej Jensen's "Moneybags" at White Cube Bermondsey - (till 17 April) - interesting to see what uses a "textile" source can be put to in a fine-art context -
Park Seo-Bo at White Cube Mason's Yard - finished 12 March - he's been working in a serene, minimal way for decades -
Maps of Persia at Brunei Gallery (till 21 March) - maps are always fascinating -

And one from last year - "Guides to Elsewhere,"book art by
Linda Toigo at Westminster Reference Library - this is "Maelstrom" in progress; other works are on her blog (
March and
April 2015)
This work reminded me of some of the work of an Australian/New Zealand artist, Rosalie Gascoigne, who uses/used? found materials to make her art.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to the piece I mean.
