Last night was the private view of ‘ALL THE DEAD DEARS’ at WW Gallery and a fine night it was too.

The exhibition curated by Sarah Gillham & Mindy Lee – an exhibition of drawing, painting, sculpture and print by Ross Chisholm, Sarah Gillham, Mindy Lee, Emma Talbot & Sarah Woodfine, is the first in a new programme of exhibitions guest-curated by prominent artist/curator duos, which will continue throughout 2013 at WW Gallery.

The night was crowned by fine company and the great cocktails supplied by the wonderful WW’s!

‘All the Dead Dears’ continues till 15 December 2012.

The Sluice publication (consisting of work submitted by the artists and curators that run the galleries and projects that Sluice exists to profile) was also launched last night amid the enthusiastic bidding (the auction was silent and blind which added to the enjoyment) by the eager crowd hungry for great art.

The organizers of Sluice, Karl England & Ben Street have a growing and loyal following that eagerly anticipate The 2013 Sluice Art Fair.

‘Vacant Lots’ is the new show at WW Gallery featuring the work of Susie Hamilton & Inguna Gremzde – here’s a short preview

curated by Day & Gluckman at Collyer Bristow Gallery – it was a busy night at the private view and we had to wait for the crowds to diperse before all the work could be seen – well worth a visit and has put us in the mood for next weeks London Art Extravaganza

Last night was the private view of Wild New Territories at Camley Street Natural Park with a second part at the Foundling Museum.

The evening  proved to be an enjoyable art hunt around the park and provided a well needed escape from the frustrations of a long working day, we are looking forward to visiting the second part  – here’s a short video of last night

On our way home last night we were lucky to catch a great light show projected onto Parliament – great to discover all the extra bits tacked on to the Olympic main event!
