ads steal art

Art Monthly delves into the ad world this month with the latest rip off from Toshiba. Their clumsy remake of Escape Vehicle No 6, Simon Faithfull (2004) loses it's fragile plastic chair and cuts out the layers of meaning by reducing it's message to watching their TV.

It seems there is more of a curator/exploiter to the creative ad man these days than being creative. Anyone can watch youtube all day and then get a production company to remake films. Maybe try and think of an original idea instead.

Other great rip offs, Honda Cogs, Dept of Transport Dancing Bear, Iphone Hello, Sony Bunnies, Cadbury's Gorilla.

Art Monthly No 344 March 2010

Good editorial comment about Tate's censorship policy driven by Corporate sponsors.

Censored art means it's not art in the first place doesn't it.

towner gallery eastbourne

towner are running these great series of workshops and events for their dark monarch exhibition.

the exhibition trys to do to much with the theme and the over all feeling is a little hitch potch but there are some great pieces by hepworth, moore and other mainly British artists.

you can make collages with paper and images to be put up any where in the gallery corridors and stair well.

french bistros and cafes in sharp decline

Times are hard for Le Fontenoy, the only surviving cafe in this village in north-central France which once had three, as well as a butcher's, a boulangerie, a grocer's and a restaurant. Now, as changing habits and new laws alter the residents' relationship with an erstwhile local fixture, its future is looking bleak. It is a bistro with no kitchen, a former tabac with no cigarettes, and Letouzey's coffers are as empty as his bottle of pastis. read more

This is such a good idea, since Mute was printed on the FT press back in the early 90s I have always wanted a way to do small run newspaper print jobs. Great use of post digital.
