Saatchi – Newspeak – 2010 – Saatchi Gallery

Newspeak is open at the Saatchi gallery and follows on from last year’s Sensation and stunning New Art from China.

The joy about the exhibition is that it is free but the downside is that sometimes there is a tendency to want to rush through some of the rooms because there is ‘nothing to see’ in police parlance. The mix of artists means that there is sometimes a hit and miss approach so that some things will stun and amaze whilst others will give rise to a shrug of the shoulders.

MANY DEAD THINGS – THE SPECIMENS OF ALEX CF

In his first solo exhibition, following the release of his monograph, artist Alex CF offers the public a unique opportunity to see his bizarre specimens in person – objects that have so far only been witnessed by private collectors, such as Maxime Chattam (author) or Reece Shearsmith (actor, League of Gentlemen) who wrote the foreword for his book, and will be lending pieces from his own collection for the show.

Clock Opera at cargo – 29 January, 2010

A cold night to be out, so it was good to be inside the cavernous space that is Cargo in Shoreditch.

Sadly someone had seen fit to make the inside even cooler by switching the air con to ‘ice age’ setting but fortunately a quiet word from a gentlemen in authority led to a b bit more heat.

So it was that Clock Opera played their first London gig of the year (that I have been to at least). They were just back from Bournemouth and they have been busy.

Earth, Moon, and Jupiter as Seen From Mars

What does Earth look like when viewed from Mars? At 13:00 GMT on 8 May 2003, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) had an opportunity to find out. In addition, a fortuitous alignment of Earth and Jupiter—the first planetary conjunction viewed from another planet—permitted the MOC to acquire an image of both of these bodies and their larger satellites.

Clock Opera have a single – White Noise – buy it today!

Those of you who have followed Clock Opera as they have wowed the audience will already know that there’s many a digital tune to be had from their myspace page and they have been drip feeding the industry with their nuggets of pure creativity for some time now.

But this is not digits, not ones and zeroes, not a emailable packet of pure information, no, not at all. This is a seven inch vinyl release of White Noise (and with the hauntingly melodic Alouette on the B side you have twice the pleasure).
