Jessica Eaton: Ad Infinitum Exhibition

The Hospital Club Gallery presents the debut London show of recent work from Jessica Eaton, in collaboration with The Photographers’ Gallery. A ground breaking photographic series, Eaton’s work is highly sought after and has been recognised with grants and awards, she was awarded the Hyères, Photography Jury Grand Prize, 2012.

Eaton’s latest work views the world through the capabilities of photography using a wide array of experimental, analogue-based photographic techniques such as color separation filtration, additive color theory, multiple exposures, motion blur, in-camera masking, cross polarization and lighting techniques. Building on her highly reviewed series Cubes for Albers and LeWitt (cfaal) with Polytopes Eaton develops more configurations from repeated fragments, constructing sculptural works on sheets of large format film. The haunting, luminescent images bloom and grow before the viewer, the result of layered time and additive color theory.

ABOVE "Timing Is Everthing' Stencil Piece in London

It took nearly 7+ months for Above searching the streets at night for a fixed shadow that was positioned perfectly against a wall. The break dancer stencil comes to life at night. I am attracted to the concept that the stencil and it's context can change literally from day to night. Timing is everything!

Red Stripe® Make Session 009 Bolier Room Video

We headed East to London fieds last week for the latest Bolier Room's Make Session 009(blogged here). The evening hosted in a secret underground venue saw Red Stripe® team up with innovative visual projector movement BYOB aka Bring Your Own Beamer who invited 15 of their artists to create a patchwork of projections featuring the best in experiential and visual art works around the basement venue. This was the first time Boiler Room featured a visual collaboration on this epic scale.

Alongside the kaleidoscope of visual the evening saw Mark Ronson, DJ Drama and Giggs play some of the biggest rhythms and rhymes from across the globe to the packed out venue. The evening also marked the launch of Red Stripe® globally recognised and cherished ‘Stubby’ bottle to the UK crowd for the first time. With soaring temperatures both inside the venue and outside, the ice cold iconic stubby bottles were extremely well reachieved by the crowds in attendance. We look forward to seeing the stubby bottles which should be hitting the pubs, bars and clubs across the UK right about now.

If you missed the live stream of the party check the clip below to see what went down on the night.

Steven Harrington X Case Studyo

With his latest Case Studyo collaboration, California artist Steven Harrington takes his exploration of balance to a whole new level. Working with wood for the first time ever, Harrington has turned the totem-like structures of his Remain in Balance series into three whimsical, anthropomorphic lamps. Each one represents the harmony we seek in our daily lives, an inspired and inspiring reminder of the importance of equanimity. Harrington’s Remain in Balance lamps are hand carved and hand painted with the utmost care; the hand-splattered linen drum lamp shade adds a bright punch of color to the natural, organic feel of the sculpture. Each lamp is a functional work of art that illuminates, literally and figuratively.

Lamp Specs

Hand carved Beech wood, Tulip wood, Meranti wood and Pine Lamp shade: Hand painted natural linen. Packaged in hand screen-printed cardboard box . Limited Edition of 12 pieces for each lamp design. Full details can be found here.
