new discoveries

i've been in hamburg for the last couple of days, sans laptop, hence the lack of posts. but before i give you my travel deets, i just have to get all excited about some new artists that i keep 'running into' (only on gallery walls, mind, not IRL)

langlands and bell have made a bunch of works which are situated on the fine line between architecture and art. i'm totally loving their plans of public institutions at the moment, which i've seen at the tate, the whitworth and at their london gallery. plus they have a cool series of neons they did recently (and featured at alan cristea in london) which fucks around with the acronyms of major art galleries (SMAK, MUMOK, etc) - an extension of other language-code works they've done.

plus, they won a BAFTA interactive award for their installation at the imperial war museum. that's pretty cool.

anyway, that's all for the moment. nothing profound, just general fandom.


back to usual service soon (including excitement about snow, manson, revolution and hamburg)
