Richard Long The Tide is High Closes 5th Jan 2019 @alancristea The steep mud banks of the River Avon have provided both the source material and inspiration for Richard Long's work since his youth. The Tide is High will feature a new series of prints based on drawings made from mud taken from the river in Bristol, the city where Long was born and continues to live. The new prints will be shown alongside the mud drawing studies and large carborundum relief prints from an earlier body of work.

“I find that, when the work is made with threads, it’s considered a craft, when it’s on paper, it’s considered art.” - Annie Albers Today was the last day of our Anni Albers print retrospective.

👍🏻👍🏻 #NSThumbsUp / @nsthumbsup for the @joebradley_fc exhibition, 'Day World' @gagosian - closes 15th December Joe Bradley has produced a visual language that oscillates freely between personal and art historical references. Constantly reinventing himself, he cycles through some of the most iconic modes of abstraction, investigating Minimalist questions of colour and form, tapping into the spontaneous gesture of Abstract Expressionism, and creating cryptic signs and symbols in ingenious, lively paintings. #joebradley#gagosian#dayworld#contemporaryart#conceptualart#contemporarypainting#abstract##abstractexpressionism#londonart#thumbsup#friezeweek#dayworld (at Gagosian) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bon634HhdmN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=38zoibpoowb8

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 #NSThumbsUp for the @georgbaselitz exhibition, 'A Focus on the 1980s' @thaddaeusropac Closes 21st November Through paintings, sculptures and works on paper, Georg Baselitz: A Focus on the 1980s traces the artist’s shift towards a freer, more expressionist application of paint and use of colour, resulting in works of astonishing vigour and formal power. The exhibition presents seminal works from each of the series Baselitz developed during this decade – his Strandbilder [Beach Pictures], Orangenesser [Orange Eaters] and Trinker [Drinkers] - including works that have toured internationally but are yet to be exhibited in the UK, and those that will be shown for the first time since created in the 1980s. Baselitz has been painting his compositions upside down since the 1960s, a technique that continues to provoke today as much as when first introduced. For Baselitz, the novel upside-down format was a way to empty form of its content, navigating between the two poles of abstraction and figuration, and revolutionising a medium that was then regarded as irredeemably conventional. #baselitz#thaddaeusropac#contemporaryart#conceptualart#contemporarypainting#londonart#thumbsup#friezeweek#GeorgBaselitz (at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac) https://www.instagram.com/p/BolxdvChNL4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pmisy668chmf

#tbt the PV for Conor Harrington's current exhibition with Heni Publishing. HENI and Conor have presented 12 new works from the series 'The Story of Us and Them'. Harrington examines the concepts of tribalism and patriotism – highly relevant to today’s increasingly polarised society – through large-scale works in his signature style, combining baroque oil painting with a graffiti sensibility. The works are set against a background of a fictional nation state and feature two so-called ‘blind patriots’ engaged in combat. By using predominately red and blue in their apparel and the flags they brandish, Harrington draws on the various political and cultural connotations associated with this pairing to make a comment on society today. 'The Story of Us and Them' closes 13th October 2018.

Video from @vhils and the @splashandburn project discussing the darker side of globalisation as yet another species faces imminent extinction from unsustainable human activity . . In April Vhils and the Splashandburn team released an intervention which focused on the Tapanuli Orangutan - a new critically endangered species of only 800 discovered in the Batang Toru Ecosystem in Sumatra, already under threat by the development of a hydropower dam. . With this video comes an urgent petition to the Indonesian president to take action in cancelling the project and saving the species from extinction - the aim is 1 million signatures. Please sign the petition, link in the bio and YouTube text to solicit the Indonesian president to take action in halting the destructive development . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJNqtkkRWsQ&app=desktop . https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/save_the_tapanuli_orangutans_42/ . @newfrontierpictures @orangutanssos @orangutaninformationcentre @ernestzacharevic @charlotte_pyatt . #splashandburn #vhils #tapanuliorangutan #tapanuli #sumatra #indonesia #contemporaryart #artactivism (at Tapanuli, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia)
