Wednesday Christmas Wish List: Grayson Perry 'I am a Man' Charm Necklace
For his current Who Are You? exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery artist Grayson Perry has created a brass sculpture of Alexander White-Huggins, a young transgender man. As Perry explains, Alexander was obsessed by the character Peter Pan as a child and so Perry depicted Alexander "echoing the statue of Peter Pan in Hyde park but in the style of some of my favourite sculptures, the Benin bronzes of West Africa."
I am a Man, Grayson Perry, 2014
Kit Grover worked with Grayson Perry to produce a charm necklace consisting of "miniature versions of the three-dimensional symbols of cliched masculinity draped about the figure".
The necklace is on sale in the National Portrait Gallery gift shop and can also bought at their online store: http://www.npg.org.uk/shop/shop-list.php?showProductDetails=7519 .

BAM Fulton Street Development
Kit Grover, in association with Bureau de Change Design Office, was commissioned by Brooklyn Academy of Music to develop the schematic design for their Fulton Street development. The design proposes to reconfigure and link the Harvey Theater to a large commercial unit via a vacant sliver site. This creates new circulation spaces, disabled access to the theatre balcony and room to grow for BAM’s visual arts and education programmes.

Monday Portrait: 38 Charterhouse Street
Recently our office was rushed into surgery for an emergency nip & tuck. We were cast adrift for several weeks-the separation, and the post-op recovery was painful to endure. Here are a few pics for a slightly different Monday Portrait.
The things we surround ourselves with, and the things we create reflect back our identity. Without them we didn't know if we were Arthur or Martha.
Now that we are back, unpacking has been a joyful reunion with ourselves. Our figurehead is back on board as we sail through Smithfield

House of Voltaire 2014: Jeremy Deller and Silke Otto-Knapp
Yesterday was the opening of Studio Voltaire's biennial pop-up shop 'House of Voltaire', which they describe as 'a cornucopia of unique artworks, limited edition prints and specially commissioned homewares, clothing and accessories by leading contemporary artists and designers, in support of our renowned gallery and education programmes.'
We collaborated with artist Jeremy Deller to create a lenticular i-phone case for the occasion.
We also worked with Silke Otto-Knapp on this silk scarf which pays homage to the timeless designs of Yves Saint Laurent.
Other offerings included these painted utensils by Joanne Tatham and Tom O'Sullivan.
House of Voltaire will be open from today until the 20th December at 39-40 Albemarle Street.

We all, like sheep: Dovecot Studios's 'Large Tree Group' Tapestry
Yesterday the Fleming Collection previewed their exhibition of Dovecot Studios's tapestry based on the painting Large Tree Group by Victorian Crowe. As well as displaying the tapestry itself the exhibition detailed the making of the work which was produced entirely in Britain.
Dovecot studios wove the tapestry out of un-dyed yarn, using the fleeces of different breeds of sheep to re-create the sombre sepia palette of Crowe's painting.
The photographer Alicia Bruce documented the creation of the tapestry with images such as the above which shows one of the small groups of artisan weavers who worked on the tapestry.
Furthermore, a series of sheep portraits by Paul Farnham from Katheryn Dun's recent book Beautiful Sheep also featured in the exhibition.
