Gallery run 19th May

Lambeth Bridge, St Jame’s Park, Green Park, Hyde Park and on to Portobello Road. Into Coffee Plant cafe-gallery to drop off show press release. North to Regent’s Canal, East and then South to Timothy Taylor. Sadie Coles, Alan Cristea, Simon Lee, Pilar Corrias, and South over Lambeth Bridge to Newport Street Gallery. Then South to see Turner Prize nominee Michael Dean at South London Gallery.

201 Inspired by gallery travels.

202 Michael Dean at South London Gallery with flat standing sculptures. Loved this pebble dash one.

203 Antony Gormley at Alan Cristea Gallery has produced intricate block-print surfaces to create a richly textured black surface on the paper. The reflection is the only way I could get it across.

204 Elizabeth Neal at Pilar Corrias with gestures and sprayed spots of paint. Landscape motifs are just discernible.

205 Alighieroboetti artwork featured at Ibid Gallery with labour-intensive lines featured close-up.

206 Sarah Crowner at Simon Lee Gallery with more great canvas dislocation pieces and some tiling. A new pentagon pattern discovered by mathematicians this year is featured.

207 Jeff Koons’ artwork at Newport Street Gallery.

208 Had a peek before entering the show at South London Gallery. Congratulations to Michael Dean of Herald Street for his nomination for the Turner Prize.

209 Ryan Sullivan at Sadie Coles HQ with a new moulding process. The viewer literally looks from inside the painting out.

Gallery run 24th March

Drawing by David Shrigley and Keren Cytter. A simple but effective film and miniature sculptures in a show called Junkie. Lastly, yellow voids. 141
At Pace Gallery. Wang Guangle presents much brighter vods than the black openings in earlier work. The X shape comes from successive layering.

142
Keren Cytter, Ocean, at Pilar Corrias. Much of the art making paraphernalia becomes subject matter along with the animals and organisms expected from the title.

143
David Shrigley at Stephen Friedman.

144
David Shrigley, my favourite in the 2013 Turner Prize shortlist, exhibiting at Stephen Friedman. 4th plinth commission is on its way later in the year.

145
This lovely little video piece looks like micro-organisms being gently wafted around in a fluid. Tiny points of light beat rhythmically. But it is actually the artist’s own heartbeat and the moving points of light, we are told, come from a glitzy reflective top that moves gently to the rhythm.

146
Jac Leirner at White Cube with a show called Junkie. The spirit levels are still present in the new show and now mixed with drug paraphernalia. The tiny head is made of cocaine.

Gallery run 11th March

James Coleman, Rirkrit Tiravanija and Lari Pittman offer their established styles in new works. Joanne Greenbaum and Polly Apfelbaum bring colour whilst Imran Qureshi, Jeff Zilm and Maria Taniguchi show great delicacy. 121 Lari Pittman at Thomas Dane Gallery with layered paintings.

122 In Wardour Street, Chinatown, where the lanterns are up.

123 Jeff Zilm at Simon Lee Gallery produced these filmic spray-painted images. He does a chemical reaction on 35mm film stock and transposes the results onto canvas.

124 Polly Apfelbaum at Frith Street Gallery.

125 James Coleman with a mini retrospective at Marian Goodman. This new piece is on a giant, bright, led screen that actually seems to radiate warmth.

126 Maria Taniguchi at Ibid with a series of brick paintings.

127 Rirkrit Tiravanija at Pilar Corrias was in discussion with Andrea Zittel shown above. She saw the rock as a symbolic place for a future commune shelter project.

128 Imran Qureshi at Corvi Mora with Mughal inspired miniature watercolour paintings.

129 Joanne Greenbaum at Greengrassi. Great drips, spaces and interconnections.
