When 8/4 till 7/5/11
Already a legend within the international graffiti community, London’s ‘King Robbo’ will soon lead his entire UK crew (known to the world as ‘Team Robbo’) into Signal Gallery for their first gallery show of the year.
I managed to get to see the current group show at Signal gallery and I am glad I did. The shows called Mixed doubles>presents works from Dan Baldwin, John Squire, Andrew Mc Attee, Sean Madden and Joram Roukes.
When – 12/02 till 18/03
Since 2005, the Berlin-based artist has not only developed conceptual site-specific installations, but also an abstract idiom using different forms of human traces.
So there we had it – the 23rd London art fair, the biggest yet with a remarkable 24 ooo+ visitors this year. It has proven to me that this event is the place or one of the best places to discover, see or enjoy the best of modern and contemporary British art.
It is now almost 25 years since we first heard about the “Young British Artists”, a phrase popularly abbreviated to YBAs. Of course, the graduates from London’s Goldsmiths College who began their commercial careers by exhibiting in dilapidated warehouses and empty factories – most notably Damien Hirst in the 1988 Docklands exhibition Freeze – were not initially known by this term.
