Dancing on Joseph Grimaldi's Grave by Henry Krokatsis
Artist Henry Krokatsis creates the ultimate tribute to Joseph Grimaldi (1778–1837), the man who invented the ‘modern’ clown. “An Invitation to Dance on the Grave …” consists of two coffin-shaped caskets, set into the ground, one on Grimaldi’s grave, the other, alongside it, on that of Charles Dibdin the younger Grimaldi’s mentor. Phosphor bronze tiles make up the surface of the caskets. These respond to pressure by playing musical notes, so that visitors can literally make musi read more...

Nothing is Coming to Me, an exhibition of new work by Gerald Davis, comprises several monochromatic drawings and one painting triptych. In the darkly lit, surreal realm of Davis' imagination, teenage girls are vilified for years-old rejections, babies are imperiled by unnamable dangers, vindictive art dealers lambaste the artist, and the sexual urge is likened to a canine's sense of smell - acute ...read more... ) | | |

'Festum' is the title of a new exhibition by the Belgian artist Kris Martin. Taking the Latin for 'festival', Martin's work celebrates the ambiguity of the term, how it embodies our attitudes about both life and death, both jubilation and the fragility of our existence.

The elephant in the room is, of course, the late Mondrian: those zinging strips of gridded tape as cool paeans to modernity. Michael Callaghan's work - like that of many contemporary neo-abstractionists, such as Tomma Abts, Mary Heilmann, and Mark Grotjahn - negotiates that great oxymoron, the modern past. This generation is by no means the first t...read more... ) | |

| Hysterical infantilism in today’s art makes me looking for the “exit” sign. It must be a result of sensory overload of human brains, hi-tech overdose, or just my age. Sure, it is perfectly enjoyable to give yourself goose bumps by entering the horror land of Ron Mueck’s hyper reality and get back this limitless pleasure of being a child again while standing tête-à-tête with his gigantic and sweaty sculpture-dolls. Big cartoon eyes of c... |

Star Gazers - 10 new artists
Front of House Gallery, Bristol
Susan HealthfieldThis exhibition is made up of ten of
the newest artists of the scene. The
artwork is connected by a sense of
newness and not by theme. The context
of the house adds much needed
'personality' to that of the standard
white cube.

Surface Gallery Nottingham
Sally BernAn interesting group show although I
though that the marketing and
descriptions used were really heavy
pointing out 'international' at every
corner and having the name of the
curators in massive letters.

ArtypeteWood pallets, painted in bright
colours. Actually they do seem to work
- don't ask me how - I guess because
it is so simple. Wonderful, actually.
