Previews: Crystal Wagner – ‘Surface’ @ Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum

Posted by sven, November 1, 2012

AM came across Crystal Wagner’s work just recently and since we saw images of her beautiful and complex installations, we’ve been looking forward to seeing what she would present for her solo exhibition Surface at the Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum at Southeast Missouri State University. Traditionally a printmaker, Wagner projects her work way beyond the traditional two-dimensional artform as she builds intricate forms inspired by nature and natural structures within her immersive installations. Texture, surface, colour and dimension are manipulated to create site specific […]

Posted by juggernut3, November 1, 2012

It seemed like only yesterday that the some of the art world (here, here, here, here) helped boost Barack Obama into the White House. Now, it’s almost time for the 2012 elections and although the buzz created by the visual culture may not be as overwhelming as 2008, some artists are still taking a stand to make their voices heard. TrustoCorp created this image above reminding people to vote between hot dogs (Obama) & burgers (Romney) as there’s only one week left before Nov. 6th. Also […]

In the spirit of Halloween, millions of people will be dressing up as their favorite characters this week.

Preview / Videos: Dale Grimshaw – ‘Moreish’ @ Signal Gallery

Posted by sven, October 30, 2012

This week at London’s Signal Gallery, Dale Grimshaw unveils his latest collection of oil paintings in his solo exhibition, Moreish.

The theme of the show seems to sit comfortably with Grimshaw’s work as his lavishly rendered paintings exude a baroque opulence. Take a look at the video below to accompany the shots from his studio to […]
