Just Kids

I wasn’t a huge Patti Smith fan, so I’m not sure why I was so excited about receiving a copy of her autobiography Just Kids. Yes I knew she was important and that she had a following of people who revered her and yes I liked Horses but that was about as far as it went for me. However, as soon as I opened the front page of the book I was immediately hooked and suddenly I understood what More

Compagnie Ieto

The auditorium is silent. Two men sit on a bench, spotlit and over the course of the next seventy minutes we are all subjected to a display of acrobatics that is in turns amusing, astounding, nerve-wracking, delightful and mind boggling. How does a body fly through the air like that, self-propelled? How did the two performers come up with this routine? What is going to happen next? These are just a few of the questions I found running through my More

Anish Kapoor

I think it would be unusual for any fans of art not to be familiar with the name of Anish Kapoor by now. He is that extremely rare blend of critically acclaimed and popular, as if somehow the two cannot coexist. But coexist they do. The question is, why?

For a kick off, there’s Kapoor himself. Not particularly high profile in terms of an art world celebrity, so therefore he’s got me interested already. He’s not a part of the More

Decode - V&A London until April 11th

Take a walk in a field of digital flowers that light up as you move through them, interact with Thom Yorke on screen, create your own artwork triggered by sound and take five minutes to sit in front of a camera that will record your photo in a ghost like image before superimposing it with that of someone else. These are just some of the delights of “Decode” an exhibition of digital media currently being held at the Victoria and More

Van Gogh comes to the Royal Academy!

Vincent Van Gogh is perhaps the most famous, and certainly the most enigmatic, artist of the 19^th Century. A ground breaking exhibition now on at the Royal Academy of Arts reveals not just the magnificent paintings but the man himself.

As well as being a prolific artist Van Gogh was also a voracious letter writer and the Royal Academy exhibition, the first Van Gogh exhibition in London for forty years, showcases not only around one hundred of his drawings More
