Art at Glyndebourne

We are very proud of our role in developing the visual arts programme with Glyndebourne, bringing
together White Cube and Carmody Groarke and the legendary opera house in Sussex to create a unique platform for contemporary art within a music-based institution: White Cube at Glyndebourne.

As instigators and producers of objects, environments, events, and programmes there is little more satisfying for us when a collaboration is made real.

The new production of Donizetti's Poliuto demonstrates the point we are eager to discuss: the porousness between forms of art- the video work 1365 Days Without Red by Anri Sala has deeply influenced the stage images assembled by the designers Julia Hansen & fettFilm.  A story set in Armenia, in 257 A.D., via the imagination of a 19th c. Italian composer, reanimated via a thoroughly 21st c. vision.

The inaugural exhibition in the gallery displays a series of new paintings by the German artist Georg Baselitz. Please visit the White Cube website for a full press release about this exhibition curated by Andrea Schlieker.

Georg Baseltiz at Glyndebourne

Glyndebourne & White Cube's new partnership opens a pop-up gallery at Glyndebourne on May 21st. New paintings by the great German artist Georg Baselitz form the inaugural exhibition. To celebrate the opening, we have produced a limited edition of fifty screen-printed wool blankets by Baselitz titled Alte Elisabeth, 2010. Available exclusively from Glyndebourne.

Desktop Exhibition

I often wonder about everything involuntary and automatic, when we put our conscious selves away and let things migrate towards or away from one another. Every week the desktop of my laptop fills with images people send, images that inspire, images sent back and forth to factories, things to remember.
Then on Friday I trash or file it all so I have a clean start to the next week. Only recurring obsessions remain.
We just had a long weekend and I fell behind in my routine. As I was about to tidy up, I liked the unintentional exhibition before me and decided to make a record of it.
PS that's the Man Mo temple, in HK, in the background.

 Something saved for Shezad Dawood.

Something by De Chirico to wear to Glyndebourne? Maybe not.

Upside down pic, but PERFECT! vitreous ceramic plaque commemorating the launch of the VW Golf from Schmid McDonagh on Church St. NW8.

I am having a personal Paolozzi revival since his work was featured in History is Now at the Hayward. The exhibition is finished now but the catalogue is a good record of the show.

 This fella might be on my desktop for a while.

He makes my head feel like this.

 Resin artists in China are proving a blast to work with!

Rose Uniacke was sent from another planet to torment us with exquisite objects. She has some bamboo lampshades in her window that are interfering with my sleep.

Why is this on my desktop?

Ready to begin again.
