Now Showing at Vallery

Words by Alex Bec, Wednesday 24 September 2008

‘Wear It With Pride’ have taken their fantastic ‘Now Showing’ show of re-made film posters over to Vallery in Barcelona and added some extra pieces to the collection.

If that wasn’t enough you can also have a look at some pics of the show on the flickr. Shown is Build’s version of ’2001:A Space Odyssey’, great stuff as always.

Work / Exhibition Dutch studio Raw Color's prismatic visual research experiments

Paper shredders and desk fans are some of the more banal things Raw Color turns into head-turning visual installations for its experimental research around colour. The Dutch design studio, led by Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar, has been invited to stage a solo show at The Aram Gallery for London Design Festival (opening 19 September) which promises a look at their cross-disciplinary approach. Here, the pair discuss choosing colours like flavours, and how they use self-initiated projects to support their client work.

Work / Exhibition Björk Digital showcases the fruits of embracing collaboration and creative technologies

Famous foremost for her music, the stripped-down and intimate exhibition Björk Digital showcases the eponymous Icelandic artist’s latest digital output, working across virtual reality, audiovisual installation and interactive touchscreen instrumentation. Acting as a creative director embracing collaboration and technology as a means of innovation, Björk augments her organic musicology on what she calls “the universal, 10,000 year old theme — probably older” of heartbreak.

Work / Exhibition A repetitive day in the life of one of Ragnar Kjartansson’s troubadours

Of his exhibition at Barbican, Ragnar Kjartansson remarked that he hadn’t realised the extent to which his work is about, or uses, repetition until he saw the show. “Maybe it comes from being an altar boy,” he says. “You repeat stuff again and again until it becomes divine.” The opening work Take Me Here by the Dishwasher: Memorial for a Marriage is a case in point, a performance in which ten musicians, scattered through the gallery on bedroom-like islands, sing and play guitar for eight hours straight.

Work / Exhibition Thee Drinkers: New exhibition conveys the joys and despair of having a few too many

Thee Drinkers is “an exploration of drinking and how we should all just try to have fun and be nice to each other.” The exhibition has a mix of works on paper, of wood and wool, and according to their author Aaron Ziggy are about “the joys, the despair, the clarity, the destruction, the dancing, the friends, the fantasies and all the things you’ve ever guzzled.”
