A Century of Chairs

Here's a little sneaky peak of our current exhibition.... if your around come and check it out. This is one not to be missed - over 50 of the most iconic chair designs from the last century.

Artist Dan Baldwin, who exhibited at Storey Gallery last year in our show, Strange Days and Some Flowers, has been working with fashion designer Sara Berman. She has just launched a "Dan Baldwin Collection" including dresses, scarves, and jackets featuring his designs.

Another day - another show

The recent exhibition TINA has now come to a close and we begin the preparations for Uncertainty in the City - an exhibition resulting from a four year off-site project we commissioned by the artists Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson...

Fedex has collected most of the work from TINA, which is heading back to the various corners of Europe as I type.. mean while beardy Jeff has begun the noisy dismantlement of screens and black out containers etc etc. Uncertainty in the City will contain several large constructions which Jeff is busy preparing for.

I intend to create another short animation for the install for Uncertainty in the City. We begin in ernest on the 23rd August so the first images will be up on the blog for you to see. They will probably include lots of pics of Jeff making sure his trousers aren't falling down as usual... we really should get that man some braces!

So until then there is much admin and planning to do. Keep an eye out for the first images on the 23rd.

Volcano

Ilana Halperin, who is working with Storey Gallery, currently has works included in an exhibition entitled Volcano: Turner to Warhol which is at Compton Verney 24 July - 31 October 2010.
This is the first exhibition to celebrate the extraordinary artistic outpourings that volcanic eruptions have triggered over the past five centuries.
Ilana is showing pieces from two projects - one related to travels in Hawaii, the other to a disappeared island off the coast of Sicily.

Here's a quote which is relevant to TINA. It's from The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, written in 1924.

‘Money will be emperor’ is a prophecy made in the eleventh century. Would you deny that it has now literally come to pass, and with it the utter bedevilment of life in general?

Change over

The second installment of the animation documenting the most recent Storey Gallery exhibition change over:

Coming down

I have been documenting the take out of the last exhibition, What happens if ... ? It is intended I will carry on doing this until the next show is up and open - or until the camera gives out.

Until then here is a taster of us moving lots of things around :
