WHAT!?%!
A.K. Burns and Katherine Hubbard will begin two months of work at Recess as part of its signature program, Session. Recess invites artists in Session to use its storefront space as studio, exhibition venue and grounds for experimentation. During their first public collaboration, Burns and Hubbard will adapt Recess into a working installation that will intentionally conflate the hair and art salon. They consider the salon a site for public engagement. The Brown Bear is a space to gather, exchange ideas and generate personal aesthetics; a site to collectively explore, what does it look like? During public hours, visitors may come in to receive free body-hair modifications and add to the dialogue surveying the paradigms of appearance.

The artists will be on site to provide DROP-IN hair requests on Thursdays and Fridays.
By APPOINTMENT ONLY on Saturdays. No do’s done on Wednesdays.

ALL WELCOME EVERYDAY.

Rabbit is Rich | Bryan Dooley

Rabbit is Rich Bryan Dooley May 9th – June 15th, 2013 Rod Barton, London EC1 A subtle masc energy wafts through Bryan Dooley’s new solo show at Rod Barton. A kind of high-testosterone, enlightened bisexual vibe — where wooden prayer bead sashes, deconstructed from car seats, are worn by commercial imagery of luxury cars, log cabins, and avocados. QB: “180 timber right, green sight stack, haze. Rubbin taper!!! …………….SNAP!” Coach: “Shiit, keep it moot-able!”

Benvenuti a Palazzo Peckham!

Out of a conversation in Peckham, comes Palazzo Peckham! The Palazzo doesn’t claim to represent the people of Peckham, neither all the artists working there. The use of Peckham represents art-communities needs for a place. It could be exchanged for any district on the edge of a city that hosts a young generation of artists living and working together. Conversation in this community has moved online, artwork can be out-sourced for fabrication and delivery to… [read more »]
