ROUNDUP
Mathew St Festival plus  Unclaimed Photographs exhibtion has closed.

Ian made it to the Jad Fair exhibition at Red Wire which is very good - they even bought one of his paper cut pictures.
Jad Fair : Automatic Vaudeville - 29 August – 13 September 2009 (Thur – Sun 1-6pm)
FILM DAY on Sunday 6 September, 12.30 - midnight (details)
Red Wire Gallery is delighted to announce the first U.K solo exhibition by acclaimed and increasingly influential American artist and musician, Jad Fair.  
“There are plenty of performers who rock critics compliment by using the label ‘primitive,’ but few if any can hold a candle to the greatest American rock primitive, Jad Fair.” (John Dougan- All music guide)

Described as speaking for the idiot savant or autistic auteur in all of us, Jad Fair’s paintings, drawings and paper-cuttings exude an enthusiasm for a world presided over by a childish happiness, wacky adventures, mysterious monsters and a love for all things that is so rarely expressed with such sincerity.

VIEWING: Revolver - Gareth Kemp

imageTHURSDAY 3 September, 18.00 – 20.00 at The Lost Soul & Stranger Service Station (Old Barber Shop at the Bluecoat)
In Revolver, painter James Quin brings together four artists for whom painting remains a prime concern, for whom the notion that painting has had its day has not registered on their collective radar.  Whilst all four artists concentrate on disparate painterly concerns and narratives, what they appear to have in common is a fascination with the materiality of paint and the modes of image making.  Exhibition details
 
 

VIEWING: Ben Rivers

ben-rivers-100THURSDAY 3 September 19.00 - 21.00 at A Foundation
Exhibition by artist and filmmaker Ben Rivers.  His work often explores mankind’s relationship with the wilderness, and with ways of hermetic world-making. Primarily shot on black and white 16mm film, his works are difficult to place in a specific time, depicting lives lived at the edges of society, or imagined landscapes populated with the soundtracks of old films and cinematic trickery.  Exhibition details
