BANKSY'S EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP
'Exit Through the Gift Shop', the first film by renowned graffiti artist Banksy, became the hottest ticket at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival where it made its world debut. Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' tells t read more...

There are many summer group shows on now, but a whole group of group show reviews would not, I think, be such an appealing prospect. It's more fun to choose some interesting works - and by way of contrast the one piece in a one-piece show at the ICA - to form a 'group show by other means'.

The work of Daido Moryiama and Shomei Tomatsu, the two giants of the Japanese post-war movement presented side by side for the first time in the UK, will be unveiled at the Michael Hoppen Gallery on 9 September. While their photographs differ in style, sentiment is common to both. They address love, anguish and anger with equal power, passion and s...read more... ) | |

My reality-TV show has me freaked out. Not because people in the art world keep pulling me aside at openings and earnestly whispering, "Jerry, please stop." I'm fine with that. What shook me was all the psycho-drama, anxiety, and pain I glimpsed boiling to the surface on this week's episode. I kept thinking about how too much self-knowledge can som...read more... ) | |

Dolly Thompsett, who shows in London with Ritter/Zamet, won the Artsway Open competition last year. Her prize is a solo show (at Sway in the New Forest) this autumn. That will be worth seeing for the striking layering which her paintings achieve - both physically and conceptually.

My heart sank at the beginning of this week's episode, as Simon du Pury lead the remaining artists into a Park Avenue car dealership called "the Audi Forum." (Excuse me: forum?) My cheese-ball meter spiked: I dreaded that he'd tell the crew that their next challenge was to paint an Audi. Artists like Warhol and Lichtenstein have painted cars, but i...read more... ) | |

The 39-year-old artist recently sprayed the entire alphabet on shop shu...read more... ) | |

From the varied shows running in a very bright summer, I seem to have fixed on some very restrained colour schemes, before moving into colour through three shows featuring textiles and fashion in one way or another at Carl Freedman, Modern Art and SHOWstudio and fully into the light with Frank Bowling.

Suzanne Bybee's works are a kind of graphic Rococo, fusing the liquid line of Tiepolo's oil sketches with hard-edge drawing out of Aubrey Beardsley. And this pitting of hard against soft, of - in a way - sculptural and painterly, the tight and the loose, gives each of her paintings a sort of comic internal struggle.

| Unspecified gene-seeking representation of "Original" for the artist is subliminally engulfed in "FURY" in our present times. Was Camille's fury properly appreciated - or should we partially destroy our work to make a point artistically; as have the times? Should we make new words or paintings for representation - should we define fear to enable or cripple it? Do we have the power we once had in history and recording it? Fortunately - "FREEDOM OF... |

BREDA BEBAN : MY FUNERAL SONG
Camden Arts Centre
ArtypeteOften, Beban's work tries to capture
authentic moments of drama through
film, more often than not working in
post production to make the work match
the moment.
Rating: |  |
Art sensus
ArtypeteThe title annoys me - it is glib - As
if we don't all know what the issues
are surrounding painting are or as if
we have been magically transported
back 15 years when irony was genuinly
cool.
Rating: |  |
ViVid, Birmingham
ArtypeteA three screen projection fills the
space at vivid, each trying to grab
your attention. The work flows around
modernist designs especially in
realtion to the library in the centre
of Birmingham. A thoughtful and
engaging work.

Australian Cultural Forum, london
Des_1981An exhibition that underlines the
