Fair And Fall: In No Particular Order
December 01, 2005

I don't know how long the BBC will leave it up for, but for some reason there is a video clip of Mark E. Smith reading the Classified Football results on BBC Online - And being a bit lippy to Ray Stubbs... John Peel would have been proud!

Milton Keynes Gallery
19 Nov 05 – 22 Jan 06
Pae White: In No Particular Order
Admission FREE
Exhibition supported by The Henry Moore Foundation

Milton Keynes Gallery presents the first solo exhibition in a British public gallery by Californian-based artist Pae White. Her artistic practice shifts effortlessly across differing genres and media, from fine art and product design to urban planning and architecture, typography and graphics, and this will be reflected in her new and recent work at MKG.

So all the blurb says - looks interesting enough to me - Not sure if it's enough to get me to Milton Keynes or not though!

"White’s work is often low-tech, comprised, for instance, of repeatedly made cardboard cut-outs, delicate wire constructions, suspended mobiles or evocative ephemeral wall paintings made direct onto the building’s surface. Central to her work is the playful exploration of space and light within a specific architectural setting, resulting in a visually engaging experience".

This is putting me off a bit now - these press releases can work two ways!

"Is colour old-fashioned? Not for multimedia artist Pae White. In recent years the Los Angeles-based artist has become an influential name for a new generation of artists exploring colour and space. But like most things, the original is better than the copycats. In her pieces, colour blends and fades in and out like sun through the LA smog. White’s work is vibrant, varied and seems to literally glow".

Another thing I'm in two minds about after looking at what's on show is the...

London Art Fair: which takes place at the Business Design Centre in Islington from 18-22 January, 2006. There will be 100 leading galleries showing, what they class as, the very best of Modern British and Contemporary art with work of exceptional quality from across the last 100 years!

Emerging artists are represented alongside "museum-quality" work from masters of the last century. I've looked at some of the stuff on the website and I'm not convinced, but may still go as I've never been to the London Art Fair before so I feel I ought to give it a go once...

At least it isn't in Milton Keynes.
