Hi Art Pie, I love that red pixel thing. I want one at home! Something quite tragic about the running man falling and the way it’s displayed seems to emphasise that. GREAT SHIZ!
Yes it was a genius move. Voina are cutting edge in that they know what buttons to press to get a reaction. It is kind of ironic that they got a state prize for the penis because Voina has the state in its cross-hairs. Word is they are diverting the prize money toward the needs of political prisoners.
Activist art is under threat… most recently Seranno’s Piss Christ. Link here to Drive-by Times.. also to a related cartoon:
Thank you for your comment Jcee. VOINA clearly know where it hurts. They are very brave and fearless and their actions needs to be relayed so I’ll keep an eye on them and will post more about them
Walk down a graffiti covered alleyway deep in the heart of the East End off Brick Lane and to your left a green door that opens to one of the most unique venues in London. The old Shoreditch Underground station shut in 2006 and re opened as the exhibition known as wow now. You enter what appears to be the old ticket office, walls painted in black showing a collection of works by various artists. Follow on down the stairs onto a landing which believe is where the old railway tracks were and is a space open to the elements. Yet again walls adorned with works by a young group of aspiring artistes.
You have to go to understand the experience as the underground trains rattle by not so many feet away with faces peering through the train windows desperate to know what is happening.
The conversion of this building has obviously been a task of love and desperation to get the venue ready and open for the opening night. And what anight. You are served a drink made from coco leaves which have been brought over from Bolivia under guard I am told. Served with ice and bitter lemon, one is enough to warm you through. The rooms filled with young and old, a chatter accompanied by the movement of wheels on the railway tracks and now to a serious look at the hanging works as the atmosphere is just right.
Alex Daw’s works as usual stand out with their normal complexity and vivaciousness. Wonderlust tempted me and I’m still considering the possible purchase. The scene of New York in the ticket office by another artist I found mesmerising.
As the exhibition is advertised as being on til June 9 I had thought I would go along this afternoon and catch the last day of the exhibition, so I trekked down there…only to find the door closed and padlocked! What a shame. 🙁
I am an artist, creating acrylic abstract canvas designs based on different genres of music. I have recently set up my art company and am seeking free gallery spaces within London to hold art exhibitions. Below is a link showing samples of some of my designs. I would really appreciate some feedback on this. Many thanks

Thank you for the report. Just few clarifications, “Reach the sky” project was organized and presented by Vamiali’s gallery for Remap 3 and curated by Anneta Papadatou.

Great post… Ibiza Town is arguably one of the best cities in the Euro… Ibiza has a lot to offer when it comes to general entertainment. Another thing to mention is the crazy nightlife this city has to offer… I would definitely recommend Ibiza to any tourist that wants to have fun in a very interesting city!
Where can i find the girl in the strawberry jam, it’s wonderful ……
I reckon it’s in the states,just being next to a 7-11…..?
Thanks if you can find the time to give me an answer.

I do like Copyright…or should I say I did like Copyright…Unfortunately his style seems to stagnate…the use of women, flowers, tattoos and birds is so recurrent in his pieces that it becomes boring and overused. His “Lady of the Lake” were already part of his first solo show and the pieces exhibited at “13” are far too similar… Re-using stencils and imagery used in the past will not benefit Copyright for long unless he steps on the creativity ladder.
I totally see your point and would agree. This also applies to loads of artists out there it would seem and while I also think it cannot do any good in the long term, I also think loads of artists struggle to bounce back and redefine themselves and their art so they play it “safe”.

Hi there! This is my first comment here so
I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I genuinely
enjoy reading through your articles. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects?
Thanks for your time!
There is a programme on British television which has been running for a few years now, it’s called “Taskmaster”, i just thought that you would be interested in
the fact that this programme showed your “Bull farting” piece on one of their programmes……it was powerful enough to make me look up your other art pieces,
and the fact that it did this must be that your installations must be brilliant, because i am the least arty type person ever, and if your stuff can make me sit up and
have a look, at the age of 58, then it must be the dog’s bollox, mate.
Thanks for waking me up a bit.
I want to quote your post in my blog. It can?
And you et an account on Twitter?
Yep of course you can mention me on your blog.
