Artists' postcards on show at Bristol's Spike Island
As of tomorrow, Bristol arts centre Spike Island – which functions both as a gallery and as a “vibrant hub for production, presentation and debate” – will host a show heaving with postcards. Not those sent hastily from the Costa Del Sol, but miniature, sometimes cheeky and often intimate works of art created by a fascinating roster of high profile artists including Tacita Dean, Dieter Roth and Richard Hamilton. The Artists’ Postcard Show, which features works taken from the personal collection of writer and novelist Jeremy Cooper, is “a selective survey of the postcard as a distinctive artistic medium,” and looks worthy of a trip.
