At this summer's Port Eliot Festival in Cornwall curators Wolfe Lenkiewicz and Flora Fairbairn brought together a host of artists whose work 'exposes and questions the dark side of human nature'. The exhibition, entitled 'Avatar of Sacred Discontent', has now been brought to London and will be on view at 9 Hillgate Street, W8 until 20 October. Among the artists participating in the show is Petroc Sesti whose works bring together art and science in a cognition-defying way. Dafydd Jones photographed Seti at his studio shortly before the opening of the show.

This September Riflemaker in London will be hosting one of its most ambitious and exciting shows to date. Working separately, with occasional correspondence by mail and a common title, artist Francesca Lowe and writer Alasdair Gray have created 'Terminus', a padded room of 130 of Lowe's ink on linen canvases with Gray's experimental narrative, 'Lanark', laid edge to edge across the gallery's uneven walls.
Dafydd Jones visited Francesca Lowe in her studio to give us a sneak preview of this forthcoming exhibition.

Describing herself simply as someone who "likes to be part of things," Calabrese is, tellingly, an ENFP type according to the Myers-Briggs personality test, which may explain why she understands her rarefied position as a kind of social aggregator, curator and isolated artist. Calabrese's work can be seen in a group show curated by the artist at Honor Fraser Inc until 27 September.
