Last night was the PV of ‘Co-Respondent’ at Transition Gallery and we had fun catching up with good friends!

Featuring: Paul Kindersley & Sarah Cleaver / Travis Riley & Sarah Bernhardt
Corinna Spencer & Andrea Hannon / Mimei Thompson & Urara Tsuchiya

The main premise of Co-Respondent involves a series of sets of (two) artists working with text and imagery with each duo taking a subject in which they are both specifically interested – with some interesting results.

Take a trip to Transition – the show continues until 3rd March 2013.

Last night was the PV of two solo shows at WW Gallery 

Siobhan Barr | HELLO FRIEND – a solo exhibition of new work  

“Developing upon previous works, which jovially explored the impact of modern telecommunications on our evolving language, Siobhan Barr’s new body of work brings together darker themes of loneliness and internet use, with a strong focus on the concept of Internet Abuse.”

6 February – 2 March 2013

                                    &

Jay Rechsteiner | JAY GUN – The Most Dangerous Man on the Planet – a solo exhibition of new work 

“‘JAY GUN, The Most Dangerous Man on the Planet’, is an exhibition which ridicules the absurdity of gun-toting machismo. A collection of home-made guns and ‘other gun-related stuff’ satirically takes its cue from American gun culture and weapon infomercials.”
6 February – 2 March 2013

Both artists display works of great wit providing an element of fun as they explore their dark subjects – my favourite was Jay Gun’s shooting range – A MUST SEE!!

 WW Gallery was heaving with eager art collectors last night – with works from 100 artists on sale for £100 + buy one get one free!

Yesterday saw the first ‘Art Club’ event at Red Gallery in Rivington Street bringing  an eclectic mix of art, music and film – the event starting at 3.00pm with Sam Tring & Mark Scott-Wood gathering the work for the exhibition – providing an ambitious approach that deserves both admiration and support. Unfortunately we arrived too late to take part in the life drawing or see the films but the event was in full swing with the wonderful Paul Kindersley already staging his performance. Sam & Mark provided a great space for creatives to meet, discuss and experiment – we are looking forward to future events.

Here’s a list of some of the events – for full information see Sam’s website:
