WHO_Millie Brown
WHAT_A live online performance at showstudio produced by Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben
WHEN_Friday 30th July, 11.30am BST
WHERE_http://showstudio.com/project/livestudio/session/millie_brown
WHY_Millie’s piece will be exploring the powerful relationship between music and performance art. Her rainbow vomit accompanied by live opera will no doubt create an obscure piece of work.
WHO_Mister Batlow and Jennifer Crouch
WHAT_The Red Bull Canvas Cooler
WHEN_July 2010
WHERE_Red Bull HQ
WHY_Red Bull asked us to give some artists and we gave them Jennifer Crouch and Mister Batlow. They were asked to customise a canvas covered Red Bull fridge for their Canvas Cooler project. Other artists that took part included our lovely studio buddy Alfa, Discotek, Insa, Inkie, Dave White and Eine, to name a few. To see the full story with more images go HERE. They also kindly threw a lovely shindig afterwards. Big thanks to Gabriella.

WHO_Peter Blake
WHAT_A print retrospective at Christie’s
WHEN_23rd July – 12th august 2010
WHERE_Christie’s, 85 Old Brompton Road, London
WHY_Peter Blake is a legend. He was a pioneer in early British pop art. He has created some historic album covers for the Beatles, Paul Weller and Oasis. As well as making some of the most interesting contemporary art I’ve had the pleasure to see. I went to the private view with my friend Jamal and enjoyed it throughly. Christie’s is worth visiting anyway but this show is really not one to sleep on.
WHO_Faile
WHAT_A wonderful art collective that reside in Brooklyn, New York
WHEN_July, 2010
WHERE_Portugal Arte 10, Lisbon, Portugal
WHY_Faile have created a beautiful church ruin with their imagery and style consistant throughout. They created a bloody church ruin! Being able to create work using the same images but applying them to so many ways of working from screenprinted paste ups to large scale painting to amazingly carved prayer wheels to a neon arcade now this just shows the extent of their artistic skill and innovation. A true inspiration.
WHO_Nina Manandhar
WHAT_A solo exhibition showcasing a selection of her reportage photography
WHEN_August 2nd – 30th
WHERE_Exposure Gallery, 22-23 Little Portland Street, London
WHY_Photography has a big place in my heart. Especially documentary photography. Nina ‘explores contemporary British youth culture and the notion of engaging with it as opposed to taking from it’, a way of working that I admire. The show is produced by THE FIRM so expect only great things.
WHO_Sulouski (My Russian sudonym, my name is so damn versitile)
WHAT_My recent love affair with Russian culture
WHEN_Last night I celebrated my dear, half Russian, friends birthday at a wonderful Russian restaurant and fell in love with everything about it
WHERE_Russia via London via The World Wide Web
WHY_I’m not sure if it’s because I own a 50 year old Russian beaver fur hat that belonged to my grandad from when he visited Russia. Or because my dad is writing a script for a feature film about the Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky. Or because I met an amazing 70 year old woman Russian woman last night that out danced all of us. Or because one of the most beautiful photographs I’ve seen was taken by Russian artist Alexander Rodchenko. Or because I’m a sucker for typography that I can’t understand. Whatever the reason, I’m intrigued.
WHO_Me (Suz)
