Self Made Worlds, London
‘Self Made Worlds’ comprises depictions of tableaux, artificial environments and alternative realities, constructed either as sculpture and models, or as subjects for photography, painting and animated film.
Visitors: "Intricate, highly delicate and very otherworldly";"A really, really beautiful show"; "There's such a lot of wonderful works here, together in one exhibition".
The exhibition includes works
that capture and convey states of mind and transform the everyday - Kate Belton, Kim L
Pace, Sarah Woodfine, Louise Bristow, Corin Hardy, Nicholas Pace, Russell Webb, Peter McKintosh, Richard Hudson, Christopher Stevens, Barnaby Barford, Cathie Pilkington.
Paul McCarthy exhibition, NYC
I meant to put some images of this show on before...I saw this at Hauser & Wirth Chelsea, in May earlier this year.
Massive black walnut wood sculptures depicted McCarthy’s versions of characters drawn from the famous 19th century German folk tale Schneewittchen (Snow White) and caricatures of modern interpretations of the story, including those in Disney’s 1937 animated classic film ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’.
McCarthy had these works created by building a clay caricature; then a second version, a near duplicate; then he combined the two. He removed the heads of these figures, scanned them to develop new versions in different sizes, and reassembled the resulting array of heads with the bodies of his ‘twins’. Wim Devoye was doing something similar on a smaller scale, in aluminium, at Sperone Westwater.

Venice Biennale 2013
Indie Game - The movie
Yes, I know it came out last year...
I really enjoyed a glimpse into the world of these indie game developers, especially the 'Super Meat Boy' team. Obviously the process was stage managed to create a film, but none-the-less, you get an insight into the motivations, willpower and drive behind making these independent games: Braid, Fez, Super Meat Boy. All the games have a personal, quirky quality that reflect aspects of their creators.

Jockum Nordstrom - Camden Arts Centre
All his work is very 'handmade' - the drawings, collages and constructions - and evokes a naivety that is both charming and disarming. Not sure it's possible to make work like this if the naivety is studied, and it seems the childlike quality achieved is straightforward. The works communicated something very human and real: I do like art that communicates something discernible! Well worth a visit, finishes 29th September.
