I am organizing an exhibition together with Barbora “Bashi” Kolibarova to collect funds for the Haiti Appeal of the Disasters Emergency Committee. The event will be sometime in April (dates to be confirmed) and we will be exhibiting the work of emerging talents.

If you wish to submit your work or help or sponsor us you can find all information at the weblog for the event.

Photo by Weegee

I’ve always liked his photographs, Im not a sadist, although there is a derived pleasure when looking at images like this. I guess that’s what makes Weegee such a great photographer.

There is an exhibition at the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London running until the 9th of January 2010. I sure will have to make some time to go and see it this week. I was a bit confused when I read at their web page that they are including photographs by Sergei Vasiliev and Stan Healy. The first photographer that comes to my mind before these two is Enrique Mentinides.

I ‘ve just erased a paragraph I wrote. In it I spoke about how art is governed by the market, etc, etc… Anyway, my point was that it would be good to see an exhibition of Weegee and Mentinides side by side.

This year the westPhoto event will be big.  With many guests from the photographic industry it will be a good chance to network and enjoy a new years/x-mas drink.

I will surely be there harassing academics and curators…

Oh, and the poster/eflyer is by me.

The Art in Perpetuity Trust will be running the third Creekside Open Prize, where works of upcoming, London based artists will be exhibited. For more information visit the APT website.

Hi everybody, the day has finally come. The artists have set their work, and the lights set up. All that’s missing is your support, so I hope to see you tomorrow at 7pm under the Shoreditch Town Hall (380 Old Street).

An amazing variety of work is being displayed, all very talented international photographers and artists, so it is a great opportunity to see and understand contemporary art from the future generation of global artists.
