Mr Orozco made his name in the early 90s as one of the most important artists of his generation. Moving constantly... no fixed studio... refusing to be identified with a nation or region, and drawing his inspiration from the different places where he lived and traveled to. His work is characterized by a lively interest in the elements of the urban landscape and the human body & fed by the humdrum incidents of daily life, with their poetry of randomness…

A short film festival, another one? Yep, this one is digital though! (so...?). So it's OnedotZero, nothing new about them... more than a decade of pure crazy digital extravaganza! And even if the 2011 edition won't be taking place until next November they first have to select which works they'll be showcasing right? That's why they're now calling for all world digital creatives to submit their works you see.... Over fifteen years the programme has expanded to embrace a wide…

Newspeak: British Art Now part 2 is now rolling free @ the London Saatchi Gallery and while objectively compared to the first part we were not blown away as much, still, some works and many of the new new brit "artists" selected by Mr. Saatchi were captivating.... Starting with Henrijs Preiss, whose 4 iconic paintings with a heavy Orthodox symbolism makes them look like historical artefacts, highly complicated board games with complex geometric designs. His work is influenced by a…

We're giving you too short notice but there's still just over a week left for you to crawl into Liverpool St tube station (Westbound central line platform) and discover one of the popular CBS advertising space takeovers (remember Smile for London?). The midnight crawlers from Art Below have been taking over public underground spaces for 5 years now and this month they're carrying the art of Nasser Azam not only to Liverpool St Station but also to the Tokyo metro.…

Our stop-motion chef friend Monsieur Dubosc is finally getting his very own solo exhibition... in a real gallery... or at least he's trying to. Taking "food" as a theme (and what has made him famous) Alexandre is willing to find an appropriate venue in Paris to show us all his culinary pieces. "Both "greedy" for the eyes and fun for the mind, I wanted to make this exhibition a moment of humor, reflection and friendship around a common and intimate…

this year's poster by Rubén Pellejero In 2012, one of the best European comic events & conventions (with the permission of Angouleme) will be celebrating its 3 decades of existence... quite something to celebrate for a European comic festival (Angouleme is 36 now). But that will be next year, because this one Barcelona's "saló del comic" reaches it's 29th edition. And what's the offer then? From April 14th - 17th some international guest artists will come to the Catalan capital…

Mr Hopkins, one of the most renown British photojournalists of our last century, has selected for this exhibition @ Getty Images Gallery his favorite memories of Europe in the 50s.. a very personal collection of works portraying all sorts of life experiences... the suburbs, the cinema star-system at that time... good old memories. Thurston (98 years old) has carefully selected, together with her also photographer wife Grace Robertson, the most relevant images from that decade, the end of the golden age…

It seems to happen a lot lately ... we get and we give too short notice for worth visiting exhibitions. The Deutsche Börse Photography Prize has another couple of weeks left @ the University of Westminister (just in front of Madame Tussauds), so you better hurry up! In it's 15th edition the Prize keeps vindicating photography as a flexible-enough discipline to be used by contemporary artists, not only photojournalism and mixed-compositions are all that there is, and despite video and…

Who needs to pay Frillions to Publicis, WPP or Omnicom when you can have the God of brand refreshment and image "coolization" for a far more affordable price? (ok, this may no longer apply). You all probably remember the summer 2009 MTV relook or last year's AOL crazy logo relaunch... because all brands need some surgery from time to time and if it can make decades-old institutions look as new born stars, even better. Matt Pyke is responsible for these…
