This week has seen me be a small part of the organisation that is Open College
of the Arts - tutorials with students from around the world. The experience of
connecting around the globe is fairly awesome/humbling and at the same time
very efficient. I'm in a book! - there's an image and mention in the latest
publication that covers The International Contemporary Book Fair - Pages - Future
Potentials / Future Legacies. http://www.leedsartbookfair.com/pages-reviewed-collections-revisited/
it's a great photo by Chris
Taylor and an interesting overview of the paperscissorsbook exhibition by Karen
Babayan. I've been selling a few items of work recently so have been updating
my site http://les-recent-work.blogspot.co.uk/
I've also delivered some work to the wonderful bookartbookshop http://www.bookartbookshop.com/
if you are in Hoxton I recommend dropping in - you never know what you might
find. Today culminated in a glorious visit to D2W (I don't know if you know but
3D printing is
the future)! Jonathan has a great take on this technology. I also got to see a
number of exhibitions which were all inspirational - White
Cube at Mason's Yard - Fred Tomaselli is stunning - the psychotic doodling is a
futuristic version of Tom Philips at work, makes you think!!! The supreme
rifts…a measured propinquity with work by Sol Lewitt, Gabriel Orozco, Gerhard
Richter, Ettore Spalletti and Niele Toroni at Marian Goodman Gallery is
stunning. The Richter structure is very special and his line piece feels like
it is physically changing you. At Carroll / Fletcher the film piece by Wood and
Harrison Semi Automatic Painting Machine in the basement is excellent - serious
fun... obviously Eva and Franco Mattes are awesome but Michael Joaquin Grey's
Citroid System Play Room has some
exciting elements. The whole show is a winner - Looking at one thing and thinking of
something else. An Exhibition in Four Parts - Part Four: Disrupt /
Disorder / Display
