Each artist explores their own subject in a sensitive, provocative and sometimes humorous series of works engaging our shared experience of life, growing up, imagination and art. What bind the artists together are their individual observations of anxieties concerning modern life and art. This exhibition explores the journey from childhood to adulthood as expressed in Daniel Jefferies’ fascination with “The contrast of the two worlds - of being in one and staring at the other... of the development of a relationship in which we try to revive something lost”. The boundaries of childhood and adulthood are further explored by Katrine Storebo’s photographs and videos, which invite adults into a spontaneous and playful imaginary world of dolls and toys. Teasing out our childish fantasies and re-invigorating our imagination and sense of humour, Dave Anderson’s satirical drawings are both quietly disturbing and incredibly witty. His animation ‘The Grand National’ (2004) sees a grimy, faceless fellow pelvic thrusting along to the National Anthem...with no pants on. This work made it to the finals of the 2004 Jerwood Drawing Prize. Anderson’s drawings, animations and performances give unforgiving exposure to the darker recesses of our minds and our lives. Kate Walmlsey’s installations express an interest in the perception of artworks, in the connotations of the artistic medium and its effect on the viewer’s expectations. Walmsley’s video installation Still Life, 2004, plays with the concept of genre in painting and our response to symbolic references. This is just a taste of the ‘Exhibiting Thoughts’ exhibition, for which all seven artists will be creating new work.

The exhibition will feature live art performances, fashion shows, a workshop, installations and work hung on walls. Graffiti, while illegal can be a powerful tool in making a huge visual impact and sending us messages concerning politics, emotions, or whatever else is on the creators mind. The best Graffiti causes us to wonder technically "how did they do that?" and speculate what the piece is about and why it was done. Comics have been used to tell stories about the human condition and psyche and appeal to everyone. Through their pages we are transported to other worlds where we can be anyone we want to be therefore learning a little about who we are and the world around us through analogy. Alternative, urban and Harajuku fashion can particularly help send messages about beliefs, interests and status. Saturday 27th September 2.30 to 5pm: Workshop Participants in the workshop will be customising t - shirts, and custom vinyl art toy blanks such as the mini Munny and Dunny blanks. These will be limited to 20 blanks.Tamo and Qee figures will also be available in addition to templates for the figures. There will also be a competition where participants will get to win a Munny blank and a one off t-shirt made by the curator. All materials and instructions are included. Workshops cost £12 per adult and £6 per child aged 12 - 15 years. Under 12 year olds go free. By exhibiting the work of graffiti, comic/graphic artists, designers, and illustrators, creativity will be expressed in an uncompromising hard hitting way. ''Through art we put our soul on paper/concrete or fabric and share it with the world, this is a very nerve wracking thing to do. It takes more guts than carrying a knife.'' (Danielle Scott 2008) Money raised will be donated to the Ben Kinsella Fund to fight knife crime. http://exhibitions.vivastreet.co.uk/exhibitions-listings+croydon-cr9/free-art-exhibitions-at-fairfield-halls-croydon/8599906 http://exhibitions.vivastreet.co.uk/exhibitions-listings+croydon-cr9/free-art-exhibitions-at-fairfield-halls-croydon/8599906 All art lovers are welcome to attend a free art exhibition.

(Riedstra, 2007) Riedstra's ‘Barbs Series’ was shown as part of the Amsterdam International Fashion Week, 2007. The paintings represent the pain and frustration many women feel when they/we aspire to an unattainable and unrealistic standard of beauty as publicised by the media. They speak of the difficulty in present-day society for women to achieve a true and unadulterated identity of themselves because of the pressures to conform to influences around them/us. Riedstra’s own background is in both art and theatre, both as a performer and behind the scenes. She has studied Mime & Applied Arts in Tel Aviv, Fine Art at the Royal Academy of the Arts in The Hague, Netherlands. She studied Scenography at HKU in Utrecht, Netherlands, and the Instituto del Teatro, Seville, and has an MA in Scenography from St Martins, London. She is also a qualified teacher of 2d Art. She has exhibited extensively in each of these countries and was invited to show at the Florence Biennale, 2007. For the forthcoming ‘Barbs’ show Riedstra invited like-minded artists whose work deals with similar issues relating to the body and distorted identity. Her theatrical background informs her vision for the three week exhibition, featuring fashion shows and performances — promising to be an emotional feast for all the senses, and especially the mind. http://exhibitions.vivastreet.co.uk/exhibitions-listings+london-sw9/brendan-giles--an-exhibition-of-recent-works/8381328 http://exhibitions.vivastreet.co.uk/exhibitions-listings+london-sw9/brendan-giles--an-exhibition-of-recent-works/8381328 Private View: 22nd of August - 6 pm to 11 pm Exhibition runs from: 22nd of August to 28th of August 2008 Gallery Opening Hours: Sat, Mon to Wed: 2.30 pm - 6.30 pm Last day of exhibition: Thursday 28th of August from 11.00 am to 5.00 pm This exhibition is comprised of artworks that are linked less by a common subject matter or theme than by the search for and refinement of an individual visual language. The 2D and 3D works, in turn, twist traditional conventions of fine art presentation, offer a lateral understanding of contemporary society and art practice and adopt a Surrealist disruption of the physical properties and practical functions of everyday objects. The 3D works included, constructed in a wide range of materials (bronze, aluminium, concrete, rubber) employ a blend of paradox, metaphor and a quietly insistent humour that engages the viewer in attaching their own interpretations onto what they are looking at. For example: a ‘rubber frame’ is rendered useless for its intended purpose by its very manifestation. The self-reflexive ‘frame within a frame’ wall based pieces cannot be accurately defined as paintings; they prompt the viewer to consider the ever-changing function of content within an artwork and demonstrate a balance between image and the object. “We need to interpret interpretations more than to interpret things.” -Michel de Montaigne Brendan Giles is currently a student at Norwich School of Art and Design. This is his first solo exhibition.

Sally Bridgnell and Lynne Campbell offer an arresting collection of both traditional and expressively impressionistic artwork in oils, watercolour and pastel. Also showcased in the exquisite silver-wire Oo la la Jewellery by Wendy Longhurst. Sally combines her love of seascape painting with her studies by a contemporary degree course in Fine Art at Cornwall College Camborne, resulting in her evocative 'Sea Dreams' series. Lynne's broad spectrum of work includes her acclaimed pet portraits which may be commissioned during the exhibition for completion in 2-3 days and her Mirabeau Series of vibrant watercolours.

Artist Rush Ounvises, one of the main contributors to the exhibition, whose sixteen paintings include some of the most bizarre objects ever put together, sais: “This show, ‘Madonna: Mother Of The Universe’, aims to pay an homage to the world’s biggest and most controversial icon in a no holds barred attitude. We wanted to epitomise her edgy individuality and her extreme personality,” Sexual politics, religion and a sense of rebelliousness are all present in the variety of portrait paintings, photographs, graffiti and multimedia installations, described as “The Post Pop Art” by the artist group ‘The NuBrits’: “Think Andy Warhol meets Damien Hirst on a subject as unique and complex as Madonna.” (Rush 2007) The exhibition will be held in August, its opening night intended to coincide with the date of Madonna’s actual birthday.

Guest speakers promise inspiring ideas and a critique of what's on offer in the run up to the Olympics. Some serious debate and argument is guaranteed! The meaning and impact of regeneration Tuesday 6th May 7pm In the run up to the Olympics, "regeneration" is the buzz word for London's East End, but what does it mean? Should we treat it with caution or celebrate it? Speaker: James Woudhuysen, Professor of Forecasting and Innovation at De Montfort University, Leicester, Board member of the Housing Forum, Director of audacity. Tourism today Tuesday 13th May, 7pm As the world descends on the East End to see the games should we heed the call to fly less, travel less and see less for fear of carbon footprint size or is tourism a greater good? Speaker: Jim Butcher, lecturer in tourism studies and author of The Moralisation of Tourism: Sun, Sand... and Saving the World? and Ecotourism, NGOs and Development: A Critical Analysis. Both these free lectures will now be taking place in the Studio Theatre at The Brady Arts and Community Centre, 192/196 Hanbury Street (off Brick Lane), London, E1 5HU.

What is sustained by an industry of ever-developing technologies, the functions of our social traditions and boundaries continue to alter, whilst interpersonal activity becomes increasingly dependant upon digital and mechanical methods. In favour of the instant and the convenient, a digitally sent letter may be misinterpreted for lack of human speech, tone and correct language, whilst the delivery of a message may fail due to technical fault. Our contemporary modes of communication appear to maintain an increasing degree of isolation from physical human contact. Evident in the majority of larger British cities in recent times, such is the condition of our living spaces; where the ideology that societal integration and architectural regeneration brings about beneficial reform is widespread. State approved identity renewal reshapes the future of urban aesthetic in 21st Century Britain. In the name of affordable city living, apartment blocks rise and superstores emerge in their hundreds, whilst innumerable public houses that serve a particular demographic replace the familiar general outlets, forcing limited choice for city leisure and continuing the motion of increased digital shopping. Both the purpose and presence of modern steel and glass edifices have restructured the movement and mentality of our society, where in the process of change a particular strand of history and culture is misplaced. ‘This is not our City’ features multidisciplinary work from eleven artists who practice in a variety of media, collectively in film, multi-projection and still photography to textiles, installation and painting. Recurrent references to location lie within the work in which the artists observe and question their local and international surroundings. Geographical coverage ranges from the sleepless neighbourhoods of New York City, to the concrete mediocrity of modern British towns, from the darkened balcony views of metropolitan Barcelona to the trails of ancient Venetian passageways. Sequentially, this collection examines social impacts of conflict and segregation, division of land, passenger traces in tourism, transient environments, hidden and masked personas, fading memory and documentation of passive occurrences. Any location or context of this exhibit may not be a familiar place for artist and viewer alike. Equally, the transforming UK suburbs and skylines cause displacement upon foreign visitors of differing language and residents forced to navigate their way between unpredictable building sites and shifting city routes. This body of work is displayed with a view to raise relevant questions and constructive conversations based upon the subtexts of inheritance, adaptation and belonging. Are we becoming strangers in an unfamiliar land, or do we easily conform to the alterations? What is our citizen role in such an environment and how do we use and react to these places? This may not be our city; nevertheless, through birth we are inhabitants of the land who share a common space and existence. http://exhibitions.vivastreet.co.uk/exhibitions-listings+birmingham-b1/property-investment-networking-event-in-birmingham/5253849 http://exhibitions.vivastreet.co.uk/exhibitions-listings+birmingham-b1/property-investment-networking-event-in-birmingham/5253849 Bueno Investments are delighted to announce our next networking event held in Birmingham on Sunday 30th March at 12noon, details of which will be confirmed upon registration. After our successful London networking event earlier this month, we have decided to hold our next one in the West Midlands, hoping this gives everyone who were based too far from London to attend. The purpose of this event is to give us an opportunity to put names to faces and to talk everyone through our latest deals. This also provides you with the opportunity to meet us and hear about our company background. Networking events are also a great way to meet like-minded investors where experiences, market information and strategies can be shared. Upon arrival we would like to offer you some free refreshments. We will then offer an overview of the company and the deals we have to offer. As well as our usual U.K based deals, we will be aiming to launch our New York State properties and also other exclusive offerings coming up over the next few months. This will be the fastest way of hearing about these deals and a great way of being first in line. Following the initial overview, we will move into the bar area to allow a one-to-one with any investors who wish to discuss any deals or obtain advice on any aspect of investing in property. Spaces are limited so if you are interested in joining us, please register your interest and we will get back to you with the full details. To register your interest, please email us on networking@buenoinvestments.com, including your name, phone number, email address and location. http://exhibitions.vivastreet.co.uk/exhibitions-listings+wareham/eastreet-art---craft-spring-fair/5226867 http://exhibitions.vivastreet.co.uk/exhibitions-listings+wareham/eastreet-art---craft-spring-fair/5226867 Eastreet Art & Craft Spring Fair 2008 Featuring Artists & Crafts People of The Purbecks all under one roof.

Descibed as ‘dark, beautiful, poignant and stunningly vulnerable’ by the LA Times, Merlin’s paintings attract a large following and have frequently been featured in many magazines, films and on album covers. Two of Merlin’s pieces are owned by Gwen Stefani who went on to include them in one of her videos and they also appear in the private collections of such people as uber hip architect Seth Stein, video visionary and artist Chris Cunningham, Jenny Frost of Atomic Kitten, as well as Jake Scott, Gavin Rossdale and Davina Talor of the Primrose Hill Set.
