ocontemporary - Looking For Myselftag:www.londonisfree.com,2008://14.35652008-07-16T15:34:58Z2008-07-16T15:43:06ZExplore the world of Brazilian street art with ocontemporary at Gallery 27Lowri Williamsocontemporary is proud to present Looking For Myself, an exciting new solo exhibition and installation by celebrated Brazilian street art pioneer Tinho at Gallery 27.
Tinho, 33 years old, developed his passion for graffiti growing up amidst the unique atmosphere of São Paulo, Brazil's street art capital. His early love for drawing was later influenced by skateboarding, punk and hip-hop, which then led to the underground cultures of graffiti.
Intensely vibrant and emotive, Tinho's innate ability to paint emotion and the human condition inspires an unparalleled reaction to his work. He describes himself as an artist who 'understands the soul of his age and tries to translate it into art', using characters and scenarios to huge sensitivity in his paintings to do this.
Having long boasted a particularly rich and diverse urban art scene, Brazil's uniquely colourful and exciting approach to street art has, in a short time, propelled it to the very forefront of the global Graffiti movement.
This exciting new exhibition is taking place from Wednesday July 23rd to Sunday August 3rd. The gallery is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm.
The closest tube stations are at Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus.
If travelling by bus the 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 22, 23, 25, 38, 55, 73, 88, 94, 98, 113, 137, 139, 159, 176, 189, 390 and 453 serve the area.

Beggars'Banquet tag:www.londonisfree.com,2008://14.35632008-07-15T14:37:52Z2008-07-16T17:01:57ZTake a look at Cathy Hart and Esther Jervis' collaborative art show at the House Gallery in CamberwellUser InputHead down to the House Gallery in Camberwell for an evolving exhibition...
Esther Jervis and Cathy Hart are spending 2 weeks in the House Gallery working collaboratively within their sculptural practices to create 'guests' for a banquet.
They are bringing in old, discarded pieces to re-make alongside new unfinished sculpture. Materials they plan to use will include wire, plaster, paint and fabric. Both artists will be working and responding to each others sculpture and interweaving their own materials and forms into the collaborative process to achieve a fresh outcome.
Experimenting and fusing work together is new as both artists are challenging their work forwards towards unknown territory. The gallery environment will be transformed by the banquet guests.
The title Beggars' Banquet came about as Esther and Cathy both deal with archetypal themes in their work making references to myths and fairytales. They create awkward looking creatures with ambiguous features that can be at the same time vulnerable and menacing.
These other worldly characters appear to be outside our experience yet imbued with human qualities. The playful nature of their sculptures invites the viewer to imagine and create interpretations of their own.
Over the course of 2 weeks the artists will develop the work, building on each others interventions and documenting the changes as metamorphosis takes place.
The exhibition runs from Monday September 1st to Saturday September 13th and is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and Saturday from 10am to 5pm.

A new display at the National Portrait Gallery will show a selection of one of the biggest-ever gifts to the Gallery, 140 of the most iconic photographs of famous 20th century British subjects.
The photographs are by Bern Schwartz (1914-1978), a Californian who turned to photography in his early sixties after a successful career in business. Taken between 1975 and 1978 they include portraits of Margaret Thatcher, Rudolf Nureyev, John Gielgud, Peggy Ashcroft, Lord Denning, the Prince of Wales, A J Ayer, Tony Benn, Zandra Rhodes and Twiggy.
The gift presented by the Bernard Lee Schwartz Foundation comprises portraits of some of the most prominent figures from British life in the late 1970s, including actors, politicians, artists, academics and royalty. The portraits often capture the subjects in surroundings reflecting their personality, life and work. Henry Moore is pictured in his studio with his sculpture, Peggy Ashcroft is shown in front of Walter Sickert's portrait of her in Venice, Margot Fonteyn sits by her painted portrait by Pietro Annigoni, John Gielgud is at home in his Buckinghamshire villa, while David Hockney is seen in his studio with his self-portrait and painting, My Parents.
The exhibition runs from Friday July 11th to Sunday January 4th. The National Portrait Gallery is open daily form 10am to 6pm and to 9pm on Thursdays and Fridays.

SaLon Summer 2008 Exhibitiontag:www.londonisfree.com,2008://14.35552008-07-14T13:06:51Z2008-07-14T13:11:08ZEnjoy the delight of the 2008 Summer Exhibition at the SaLon GalleryLowri WilliamsDo not miss your chance to see SaLon SUMMER 2008 Show, deemed to be one of the most thought provoking art shows seen for some time.
The exhibition showcases emerging, innovative artwork from London's SaLon Gallery's annual hunt for the UK's most talented graduates from the London's most prominent art schools such as The Royal Academy of Arts, RCA, Goldsmiths, Chelsea, Central St Martin's, Slade, Camberwell, Wimbledon, City & Guilds and Kingston.
Through the use of traditional methods and materials, the selected artists explore a new attitude; a bias that may evolve into a generational and much awaited new 'British' sensibility. This resilient insight reflects the cosmopolitan cross-population and global system of jet-setting foreign art school attendees, where several nationalities, side by side with a long established immigrant and local populae, matriculate to train at today's most elite British Schools.
This new cultural hybrid, which in itself may invigorate, muddle, mix or surprise, vests the real revelation that this exhibition contains. Will each graduate bring a dash of freshness, influencing the locals and vice-versa or will it all, under market and peer pressure, produce a bland, easily marketable multicultural product? The show will both attest to and test these educational premises.
SaLon Gallery's intention to present 'UK's 'Future Greats' is not without an element of vindication. It aims to measure, with the rigor of an exhibition, and present these manifestations of the zeitgeist which, is so clearly and inevitably influenced by the marketplace. This show will also serve as a barometer of the increasingly globalized institution and thus, our local academic art sphere- by now so systematized into serving the 'establishment'- by analogy, be brought into question.
The exhibition runs from Wednesday July 23rd to Sunday September 7th. The gallery is open Monday to Saturday from 11am to 7pm.
If travelling by bus the 7, 23, 27, 28, 31 and 328 all serve the area.

The Missing Research and Enquiry Service was responsible for tracing the whereabouts of those unfortunate aircrew listed as "Missing Believed Killed" during the Second World War. In 1945 these numbered 42,000, primarily in Europe but also in many other parts of the world from the Artic Circle to the jungles of Burma.
Members of the section faced a daunting task. Information on the location of crash sites and graves was frequently sketchy and teams often worked in difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions. At times they were subject to local hostility, not least in a Germany that had so recently been devastated by the very aircrews whose remains were now being sought. In all this, they faced a gruesome task dealing with high-impact crash sites and human remains that had lain sometimes for several years.
In his book Stuart Hadaway traces the origins of the MRES in the early years of the War and its rapid expansion in 1945. He deals with all areas of its work citing many cases to illustrate the difficulties faced, the remarkable successes achieved and, above all the human aspect.
Stuart Hadaway grew up in Hythe where his parents owned an antiquarain and secondhand bookshop, kindling his early interest in history. After attending Harvery Grammar School he took a B A at Christchurch College, Canterbury and a Diploma in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester. From 2001 to 2003 he worked as a researcher at the Museum of the Worcestershire Soldier and is now Assistant Curator at the Department of Research and Information Services at the Royal Air Force Museum, London.
It was his work with veterans there that inspired him to further research the MRES and recount this remarkable story. The Museum will be holding an exclusive book signing where members of the public will be welcome to meet the author from 1pm to 3pm in the Museum Shop.
