Galleries

This week end i went to a couple of galleries that i could only recommend.
-

The first one was Museum 52 on Redchurch street.
Esther Stocker has a very strong installation there:
"Esther Stocker's installations and associated paintings are abstract compositions in space; drawings animated in three dimensions by material, colour and form. For this exhibition she has created a site-specific installation and a series of painted works, all continuing her investigations into the logics and rules inherent in depictions of space."
-
The second one was Flower's East Domestic Appliance exhibition.
A great selection of work articulated around usual domestic objects. Genuinely , the whole exhibition is fantastic. Personally, i loved Antoine Zgraggen destruction parlour (cf pic) where you get to choose an object and destroy it :), Theo Kaccoufa's pieces (the "Dream River" bed is simply spooky but fascinating) and Max Dean (+ others) "Robotic Chair" was at the time funny and worrying. (cf. video)
The exhibition just started and will be on until the 13th September so if you are in the area, do see this.
