NOT NO UN / SEXY100 PICTURES

NOT NO UN, my installation of nine paintings for the exhibition SEXY100.

SEXY100 is a group exhibition of 100 artists at 'wall to wall', a temporary space in an old office block, that's usually a makeshift warehouse for a food re-distribution charity. As well as three open-plan floors, dingily-officey-carpeted, the building has many small cubicle-style rooms, with sliding doors, louvred blinds, dusty shelves and office detritus. I made my installation, NOT NO UN, in one of these small rooms, creating nine new paintings to fit in the space of three wall-mounted shelves (dust left in-tact). I also created a tenth, related, painting, 'SHE IS NOT BEING MOVED (RED)', which was hung on the top floor amongst work by other artists. Each painting is 10 X 12 inches, in acrylic paint.

The exhibition is at:
'wall to wall',
8 - 9 Spring Place,
Kentish Town
London

SEXY100 is open from 9th to 30th September 2011, daily by appointment.

More information about the exhibition and the curators, Stimulus Ltd, can be found at BIG DEAL and Stimulus Ltd websites. The invitation and map are on my previous blog post, below.

Reading, Digging and Burying - Queen's Wood Exhibition

On Saturday 11th September I will be performing a ritual of reading, digging and burying in Queen's Wood, London. I will be reading from my writing on time, memory and loss - and using my bare hands to dig with.

Please join me at 5pm in the main clearing of Queen's Wood, from where the performance will begin.

A special pamphlet of texts, taken from my book 'Body' and used in my performance, will be available from an Honesty Box in the woods after the performance and also on Sunday 12th September.

My Reading, Digging and Burying performance is part of Cut Back, an exhibition of site specific and performance art, taking place in Queen's Wood on the weekend of 11th and 12th September, organized by Rekindle Arts. It features work by many different artists, which will be installed throughout the woods, come rain or shine!

Cut Back is open from noon til dusk on Saturday 11th September, and from 10am to dusk on Sunday 12th September. The private view is on Saturday from 4pm to Dusk.

Queen's Wood
London
N10

Nearest tube: Highgate on the Northern Line.
Then a ten minute walk down Wood Lane, which becomes Queen's Wood Road and takes you alongside the wood. The exhibition is in the portion of the wood on your left hand side. Take any path into the wood and make your way to the main clearing for more information about the exhibition, and the start of my performance.






You can see the work I made for the 2008 Queen's Wood exhibition, 'Take a Walk in the Park' here. There are many pictures, in reverse chronology, of the Exercise Rizlas and the Pie Napkins in their pristine pre-wood condition, in their increasingly weathered and soggy state, and after having been dried out. Keep clicking through the pages to older posts - there's also a couple of short films of the napkins wafting in the breeze, caught on a bush...
