MUCH has happened.

Paolozzi, Marilyn, Plaster sculpture (1994)

HELLO! Safe to say there has been a plethora of things that I have been quietly listing at the back of my mind since I last posted those many moons ago! Summer is over and it is now dark at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. What happened?

Thankfully today I am surrounded by the bright white walls of Sims Reed gallery which has brightened up an otherwise very gloomy day. It’s a gem! The wonderful directors Lucy and Lyndsey have left it in my capable (?!) hands while they have jetted to New York for the annual prints fair. 

I am manning the Eduardo Paolozzi ‘Invention of the Impossible’ exhibition. Arching back to his 60’s show on Tottenham Court Road, Paolozzi’s prints are a contrived confection of computers and commercialism. Technology on acid. Juxtaposed against a clutter of white plaster casts from found objects, prints and plaster work together to articulate the tension between the eccentricity and contrivances of commercialism, and modesty and purity personal entities.
