LONDON: GUY DENNING AND FRANK RANNOU

2012-01-25T23:05:00.001Z

Signal Gallery in East London play host to Guy Denning and Frank Rannou's joint show We Are All Prostitutes, the title of which is no doubt taken from a song by The Pop Group, knowing Guy's previous use of titles from 70's/80's anarcho rooted punk songs.

The PV is on Thursday so I hope to get down and take a few photos to amaze you with.

Guy is no stranger to artbleat however Frank Rannou is a new artist, but from the images I have seen so far and a bit of online research, it already looks an interesting night.
If the art is not enough there will also be a live performance on the night from The Great Malarky and an art giveaway to boot.
The show runs from January 26th to February 11th and if you managed to see any of Guy's previous shows you know you won't be disappointed.

Signal Gallery Press Release:
We're delighted to be showing Guy Denning's work again and to be introducing the work of the French artist Frank E Rannou.

Guy introduced us to his work and we were impressed and very happy to show his work in the gallery, which will be his first London show

A few older pieces in the upstairs gallery.

Main Gallery Show

The Artbleat camera was lucky enough to find it's self in amongst the opening night crown at Lazarides on Thursday.

I Have uploaded more photos to the artbleat facebook page HERE

"Making a departure from his internationally renowned collages, Yeo's latest body of work explores the rapidly expanding phenomenon of cosmetic surgery. Following 18 months of field studies to observe the work of leading cosmetic surgeon, the artist has produced a collection of work that uncovers the processes and results of pre- and post-operative procedures on women. Opting for emphasis on the physicality of such transformations over the social controversy of these procedures, Yeo's gentle, painterly depictions question the lengths we will go to in the pursuit of perfection."

Mr Brainwash will be in attendance on Wednesday and will be creating an installation of some sort outside the gallery in the afternoon.

PEETA: CONFIDENCE

2011-09-26T20:51:00.009+01:00

1XRUN have just released a print by Peeta titled Confidence. I knew nothing about this artist before receiving the 1xrun mailout so a quick read up on their website tells me:
"Manuel di Rita is a young Italian artist born in a small town near Venice (Italy). He started to write Peeta since the beginning of the 90's and soon became a well-known writer within the Italian graffiti scene, also thanks to his partnership with the Paduan EAD crew"
So there you go, you learn something new every day. Confidence is a time limited print described as 13 x 18.5 in Archival Pigment Ink on 330gsm Cotton Paper and limited to an edition of 50 signed and numbered.

We (The Chequers Racers) are funding this ourselves so that all money raised goes to Kent Cancer Trust I would be grateful for any contribution, no matter how small, so that we can try and raise as much money as possible.If you do not want to donate any art and would still like to contribute you can do so using our Just Giving page http://www.justgiving.com/The-Chequers-Racers

This offer is open until the next print release, and I have no idea when that will be.
Static say:

LONDON: LOADS OF ART STUFF, BUT NOT FOR ME

2010-12-02T16:41:00.008Z

So I had the whole evening planned nip into Laz in Greek St (Sorry The Outsiders) for a bit of Modern Toss. Then on the tube to meet up with friends at the Artswipe show, pick up a Cartrain print and over to Dran at P.O.W. Take in the group show at Stolen Space and then 3 at Pure Evil all walking distance, and then it snowed and my trains stopped running.
So if you are in London tonight then you can have my beer allowance at each of the shows as I'm at home sulking, and if you feel the Christmas spirit in you and fancy picking me up a Cartrain print I would be overflowing with gratitude.

BROOKLYN: PORTRAITS STEN & LEX AND GAIA

2010-10-15T22:37:00.002+01:00

I nicked the writeup below from HiFructose blog, its worth clicking the link and having a look as they have some lovely show preview photos:
The Italian duo of Sten and Lex will be bringing their unique hand-cut "stencil posters" (as they're both stencils and posters) stateside for the first time this coming weekend (October 16th to be exact) when they'll be showing with HF-favorite Gaia for 'Portraits' over at Brooklynite Gallery. A celebration of the subject, 'Portraits' is an intriguing look into visual derivation as the three artists create conceptually revolutionary works in the typically tedious genre. As an added bonus, Drago Books will be on hand for the opening to promote the new Sten and Lex publication.
If you can't make it as I can't, then you can join in the fun via the Live TV button on the gallery website HERE OOPs! The Live TV is not working tonight so forget that idea.

AUSTRALIA: PASTE MODERNISM 2

2010-10-07T07:26:00.002+01:00

This looks like fun if you are in the Sydney area, any event that includes Pure Evil, Anthony Lister and Copyright on the same bill gets my vote.

It's too early to write fluffy stuff so hear is the press release (in part):

Paste Modernism returns in it's second incarnation with a list of local and international paste-up artists such as: SMC, JUMBO, ZAP, PURE EVIL, COPYRIGHT, ROYAL, DRYPNZ, OLIVE47, BUNKWAA, RICO, KONSUMTERROR, FELIX, APESEVEN, MAX BERRY, BEN FROST, BRIDGE STEHLI, NUMSKULL, ANTHONY LISTER, HA-HA, DRAB, VEXTA, MINI-GRAFF, ESJAY, HOUL, CREON, JOHN DOE + MANY MANY MOREOver 40 artists have entered the space over 4 days before the opening, to transform the walls of Lo-Fi into a visual mash-up of pasted up creations, that is normallyonly ever seen on the streets. From hand painted colour to black and white photocopies, from screenprints to large scale drawings - the only restriction is that the workmust be on paper and must be able to be wheat-pasted to the walls of the gallery.In the same way that street art is a movement available to everybody, the concept of Paste-Modernism is not defined by any 'artist heirachy' or exclusivity and so the call-out to artists was open to everybody who wanted to particpate. In doing so we hope to generate not only a further appreciation for the artform but innovation by the artists as they work beside each other in the space.The exhibition will only be up for 4 days and will evolve over the duration of the opening as artists contiue to add and modify the walls as they see fit. Because of Pastemodernism's ephemeral nature, none of the artwork will be for sale, and will rely heavily on documentation to be uploaded to the internet for it to continue on..Curated by Ben Frost and Bridge Stehli.Venue: Lo-Fi Collective, 383 Bourke St, Darlinghurst, Sydney. (above Kinsellas on Taylor Square)http://www.wearelofi.com.au/collective/Opening: Thursday October 7th, 2010 - 6pm - 9pmexhibition continues until Monday morning 11th October -
pastemodernism will be open from 5.30pm - 8pm friday, saturday and sundayextra opening hours will be detailed on the pastemodernism 2 facebook page ::HERE

DALEK UNTITLED AT STUDIO CROMIE

2010-09-27T21:07:00.003+01:00

Mmmmm! Take a look at the latest offering from Studio Cromie. This 31 colour screen print from James Marshall aka Dalek is untitled but not unloved by us at artbleat. From an edition of only 30pcs this print measures up at 50cm X 50cm and was crafted just in time to tie in with the Fame festival 2010 .

Studio Cromie describe this beauty thus:
"it's a 31 colors handpulled screenprint and it's definitely our biggest effort as a screenprinting studio. it took us long time to print it and we had to improvise a lot of tricks to make it work (since our studio has zero professional tool and it's all totally diy)luckily it turned out beautiful and we are really pleased with the results"

ENFORCED BREAK IN TRANSMISSION

2010-09-02T09:29:00.003+01:00

See you at the Guy Denning show tonight if you are in London town.
