Well at least there weren’t railway tracks, none of that train yard bullshit this year – art fair season is upon us again here in good old London town, loads of loud American gallery interns telling us this and that when they clearly haven’t a clue where the real heart of it is, that couple…
Seven or so days on from all the rushing around of the Frieze weekend and the rest of the whatever the hell it all was, there were (and for that matter still are) a couple of rather decent art shows that deserve a mention before we finally move on and deal with the next things…
Oh look there was a whole disorganised rant here about the banality of words and not eating octopus and what is with all the tedious sloganeering and meaningless words on canvas everywhere. We walked for miles and miles (with computerised smiles) during the last week, miles and miles around the vastness of Freeze, over those…
Organ Thing of The Day? A quick parish notice or a signpost or preview or whatever you want to call it… “In celebration of the publication of Riot Days by Pussy Riot’s Maria Alyokhina and a new exhibition of Cosey Fanni Tutti’s art which opens at Cabinet Gallery (London), join these two visionary figureheads in a talk…
Yeah I know, cheesy click bait title and lists are lazy things. And so after only four days the vast vast (vast) things that are Frieze and Frieze Masters came to an end for another year – well four open-to-the-public days, there was all the private views and previews before the unwashed masses were allowed…
And then after two days and many hours of probing and poking and now and again delighting at the vast (vast) vastness of the contemporary art fair that is Frieze London 2016, you kick yourself for wasting all that art exploring time when you really should have been in here from the b of bang.…
Friday, back for more, art blindness, pink is for boys, blue for girls, seconds out, round two… Frieze really is (stupidly) vast – didn’t see that one yesterday – to even hope to take anywhere near it all in in a one day session is impossible, especially if you are going to afford anything more…
A first day fractured look: Frieze is vast, almost overwhelming, Frieze is exciting, going to Frieze is exciting, Frieze is awful, hatefully so, some of it brilliant, some of it really is soul-sucking, some of it dreadfully so, who are these people? What kind of world do they come from? Not very friendly are they?…
Who sucks? Monday morning? Glorious day and the start of an art week dominated by Frieze, if there is such a thinking as an art season, and I really don’t think for those serious about the pursuit of art here in London there actually is, art goes on fifty two weeks of the year, but…
Organ Thing of The Day, let’s tidy up around here, couple of videos of recent art events that were left in the corner over there with the false widow spiders, the unwanted demo tapes and crusty paint brushes waiting in the corner to be posted up here. A bit of footage via our favourite London…
