Foundation shows at Morley College and Mary Ward Centre-July

Dear all:

Both Morley College and the Mary Ward Centre are running end of year shows (thanks to Jean for the heads up), a nosy round wouldn't hurt.

The textiles show ends tomorrow so if you need to be quick!

Tattoo Art

'Jake and Dinos Chapman plan tattoo parlour show in home town of Hastings...'

Story here .

It raises questions:

Why are they crowd funding it? Are they short on cash?

Hastings... One for the summer road trip, maybe?  and

If you could choose any artist to tattoo you, who would you choose?

Hockney, Printmaker, at Dulwich Picture Gallery 5 february 2014 - 11 may 2014

Timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the artist’s first print, and the end of our printmaking sessions (of course!), this show celebrates David Hockney’s long and fruitful career as a printmaker. Over 100 carefully chosen works give a highly instructive and entertaining overview of the artist’s graphic career and reveal the thought and technical expertise that underlies the artist’s extensive print oeuvre.
Concentrating on Hockney’s two main print techniques - etching and lithography - the show includes well known works such as A Rake’s Progress, 1961-63 and Illustrations for Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm, 1969 alongside portraits of some of Hockney’s famous sitters and friends. Later works will include a selection of ‘homemade prints’ which Hockney devised in the early 1990susing photocopiers plus examples of ‘computer drawings’ such as Rain on the Studio Window, 2009- a prelude to the artist’s renowned iPad works.

The exhibition is curated by Richard Lloyd, Head of Prints & Multiples, Christies, New York. More info here.
