Change Everything

This show titled Change Everything, presents contemporary artists advocating for change through protest, and highlights the power of art in documenting and driving our future. Co-curated by Anthony Burrill and the depot_ in Shoreditch, the exhibition brings together artists, collectives and makers who are instigating social change through their work.

Following a pertinent year of worldwide upheaval and political unrest, the works shown encapsulate the ability of protest art to shift the narrative and capture the potential of a collective moment. Working with charity partner Music Declares Emergency, and incorporating a month-long events programme, the exhibition hopes to itself become a catalyst for change and conversation.

The exhibition exhibits original, limited editioned, new and archived works in textile, prints and photography. All works are for sale and parts of profits are donated to charity partner Music Declares Emergency, alongside other charities where relevant. 

The Private view was yesterday evening 

It was great to venture out and about to what was my first foray to a private view since the Covid crisis.

 

The artists collaborators and charity partners are as follows: Anthony Burrill,  Aida Wilde,  Brunel Johnson,  Fraser Muggeridge, Jeremy Deller, Joe Kibria, Kate Harrison, Music Declares Emergency,  Paris 68 Redux, People Dem Collective, Projections on Walls, Sarah Boris, Sarah-Joy Ford, Theo Hersey and Wired Magazine.

Pictured above are the A1 size prints by Anthony Burrill, which are silkscreen printed by Harvey Lloyd Screens on our Redeem 100% Recycled 80gsm, which looks and feels just right.

Thanks to Anthony for his lovely note and inviting me to the private view. You can buy the prints HERE.

Duh?

'Duh? Art & Stupidity' is an exhibition looks at stupidity as a subject and a tactic of art making, with a particular focus on its relationship to the politics and performance of identity. "High culture is meant to keep its audience from being stupid, but artists have repeatedly drawn upon stupidity, or playing stupid, as a form of dissidence, irreverence or as a means to cast off received thinking." The exhibition is at the Focal Point Gallery located in The Forum in Southend on Sea. It is curated by Paul Clinton and Anna Gritz and runs from 10 November to 26 March 2016.

This is the invitation to the opening. Echoing the theme of the exhibition, the invite is deliberately trimmed out incorrectly.

The size of the invitation is 130x80mm, portrait and is just a single sheet. It is an excellent example of a great idea, executed economically. The designer, Fraser Muggeridge, wanted a different type of board for this unusual idea and because it was a limited run, he called us and described the type of product he wanted. We sampled a redundant item (Bakri, Everest 250gsm from Cordenons - actually made 50% woodpulp and the other 50% is a mixture of cotton and goat's wool!) which is no longer manufactured, which was perfect! Just one pack was required which made this an economical and highly unusual piece. The below images show how it was mailed out in a cellophane bag with a piece of greyboard.

 

Design is by Fraser Muggeridge Studio. Print and the (deliberately bad) trimming is by Healeys Print Group based in Ipswich.

Futureproof

Jacobson Space is a fine art dealership specializing in modern and contemporary international art in all mediums. Futureproof is an exhibition showing a selection of the very best post-war art for collectors. Artists included in this show are Bram Bogart, Larry Bell, Anthony Caro, Helen Frankenthaler, Lucian Freud, Donald Judd, Louis le Broqcuy, Robert Motherwell, Bridget Riley, Pierre Soulages, Frank Stella, William Tillyer and Marc Vaux.

Reflecting the theme of technology and the fast-maturing space age of the time that these works reflect, the invitation for the private view is a panorama of the final frontier!

The A5 (148x210mm) invitations have been hot foil blocked in white matt foil on our Notturno 700gsm, giving a nice rigid feel.

Art direction and design is by Fraser Muggeridge Studio. Foil blocking is by Anglia Foil blocking.

The exhibition is on from 15th November - 21st December 2012.
