Today we present to you the fourth of our ‘Triptych Tuesday’ series. I thought as a new year and decade has arrived a theme of change and evolution would be suitable.

What would you do if you stumbled across this scene?
I wonder if they’ll exhibit the painting alone when the body begins to decompose… ewww. grosss…
luckily no artists were hurt during this piece, i hope. It’s by Jennifer Gradecki and Derek Curry.
found at pan-dan

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to take some time off work to travel to Italy for La Biennale Di Venezia. For four days I was bombarded by the full gamut of art; some good, some very good and some that I really couldn’t decide whether it was shit – [...]

I was lucky enough to be able to play the flaneur yesterday (half day at work) and as such I took myself to the Wallace collection to see No Love Lost, Blue Paintings by Damien Hirst.
For better or worse, I like Damien Hirst. I like the audacity of his business acumen and the way he [...]

i think tomorrow if i achieve only one thing, it is to re-create one of George Hart’s 72 pencils.
through the intersecting of four diagonal tubes, Hart forms a three dimensional lattice. it’s so blazingly, audaciously simple. however, from initial research at his incredibly well designed page, he made quite a career out of these limited [...]

You do!
And here’s why:
Damien Hirst: No Love Lost
Wallace Collection, Manchester Square

Price: No nuts
Skulls, butterflies and probably something rotting in formaldehyde… Yes, that’s our Damien.
His new exhibition boasts 25 new works which will be displayed amongst the Wallace Collection.
This exhibition will focus on a change in medium, rather than focus and will consist of [...]

…just a tiny street art project, eh?
i’d say it pretty much sums up how i feel living here. small, inconsequential and very nearly invisible.
but as this blog reminds us, little people are everywhere. you just have to keep your eyes open…
or visit the little people for more wee surprises!

kerry roper wants you to know you are beautiful.

what kind of a point is he trying to make? that we are all products? clever clogs kerry has also just [...]

she may be a superstar of the 1990’s art world with most of her previous work consisting of high profile rock and rollers- kurt cobain, being the pinnacle of the celebrated bunch from the era that gave us grunge. but for peyton, her work is not about the celebrity or fame.
she says “i think so many [...]

for the uninitiated, ross kemp is a uk tough guy. he puts himself into the line of fire to record edgy documentaries on somalian pirates or POWs in Afghanistan.
kemp folds blog features loads of images of him, folded. Hilarious!
