If I Lived in Britain...

Thomasdemand

...I'd get to London to see Thomas Demand's photographs of painstakingly constructed environments at the Serpentine Gallery. The show runs to August 20th and is open Monday through Sunday 10-6.

Dzama

...I'd get to Birmingham to see Marcel Dzama's latest drawings, paintings, videos, and bear costume at the Ikon Gallery. Be quick, though, as the show comes down July 16. Ikon is open Tuesday through Sunday 11-6.

You can catch both shows in one day as London and Birmingham are located just a short (1hr. 30 min.) train ride apart.

The Demand isn't so hot, actually. His first video piece on Montreal worked really well, but with the Serpentine show he has chosen to decorate the gallery with wallpaper of his own design, emphasising the domestic nature of the space. The wallpaper is lovely, but it doesn't do the photographs any favours and somehow the show veers towards the portentious.

I live in UK and some shows pass me over the shoulder... If I visited America there were dozens I would love too see like the Visionary Art Museum, Alex Gray and others, the grass is always greener on the other side...

It's too bad that when I visited Britain, I wasn't able to drop by there.

Anyway, I hope you can find time too to check out my own collection of myspace graphics. I'll be very open to hearing your feedback. Thanks.

Hi there, just found your site through google and it's really interesting, just a shame that you have stopped blogging.

Posted by: Karen | March 12, 2007 at 09:41 AM

Wish you were still blogging or had a link to your new blog. It would be a great resource for me to pass on.

Every year there is one new sleazy collector who discovers that women in the art world are easy prey, and decides to hit the art fair/opening circuit in lieu of, or in addition to the international club scene.

This year Roger Evans, viagra swilling, balding, 60 something venture capitalist, is hitting the trail to hit on a woman near you. From New York to Miami (he was a paticularly active lech at miami-basel last weekend), London and California, he's on the prowl dangling his money in search of fresh meat to exploit. His long time play to establish himself in the New York party scene failed miserably despite investing in clubs owned by Amy Sacco and the efforts of longtime on/off girlfriend and connected party girl Sarita Tabarez.--- and he's been left with a sleazy reputation among those in the society/celebrity set-- Now Mr. Evans has recruited the help of art consultant Dominique Levy to hook him up with art events, and is on a tireless quest to take advantage of all the flesh the artworld can provide.

Don't let the Elmer Fudd exterior and Northern English accent fool you. This man knows how to womanise like Austin Powers in true revenge of the nerds dot com style. Wake up girlfriend... he's not going to help your career in art.

So a word to the wise... If you have a rivalry of some sort, go ahead and sic this guy on your worst enemy, but otherwise, steer clear and advise your women friends to focus on their work instead of wasting their time.

Hi, everybody. I am going to get married but my boyfriend and I are still running credit card debt we made when at college yet. They say that we'd better improve our credit ratings if we want to apply for a loan to celebrate the wedding. So, now we both are looking for bad or fair credit card applications to repair our scores. We wonder if
credit cards under 500 credit score

You can't always have cash to pay for things you need to obtain immediately. For such occasions banks offer credit cards which differ in purpose and features like interest rates, rewards, fees. But you need to build good credit history to be able to use all the opportunities credit cards give. At
