33 WAYS

Sunday, June 5, 2011

SAM TAYLOR-WOOD

In the early '90s, Taylor-Wood was in a relationship with artist Henry Bond. On 19 September 2008, Taylor-Wood and her art dealer husband, Jay Jopling—with whom she has two daughters, aged five and thirteen—announced their eleven-year marriage was over, and they were separating amicably. Taylor-Wood overcame two spells of cancer. When she was 30, she suffered from late-diagnosed colon cancer. Three years later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.[14] She claims that chemotherapy saved her life, together with her own will to live. Taylor-Wood is in a relationship with her Nowhere Boy star, Aaron Johnson, who is 23 years younger than she is. As of 31 October 2009, the couple are engaged to be married. On July 7, 2010, Taylor-Wood gave birth to their daughter, Wylda Rae. In 2009, Taylor-Wood made a cash payment of £11 million for a detached townhouse in Primrose Hill, London.

OAK TREE

An Oak Tree was first shown in an exhibition of Craig-Martin's work at the Rowan Gallery, off Bond Street, London, in 1974. Many visitors assumed that Craig-Martin was playing the ultimate con trick, as there seemed no evidence of work on display in the white-walled gallery. However, high up on a wall was the glass of water and the glass shelf of the work An Oak Tree. At this time the accompanying text was available as a leaflet. The original was purchased by the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra in 1977; an artist's copy is on loan to the Tate gallery in London from a private collection. Craig-Martin said, "An Oak Tree has had a great life as an artwork. It is nearly always on view somewhere, and has been shown all over the world—the text has been translated into at least 20 languages. The only place it has never been shown is in the US." It was once barred by Australian officials from entering the country as "vegetation". Craig-Martin was forced to inform them that it was really a glass of water. He said, "It was of course a wonderfully funny incident, particularly because it extended into 'real life' the discussion about belief and doubt, and fact and fiction I was addressing in the work."

!SISTER EVENT!_MARCH27th_2011_DOUBLEDOUBLELAND

"THERE AND HERE AND THERE" -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- SISTER EVENT -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Following the success of Sunday Feb27th, 2011's "Here and There and Here" at Artscape Gibraltar Point, The YoGuy Team is getting ready for itssister event of similar titling at Kensington Market's: Double Double Land (DDL) on March 27th, 2011. This time, 17 artists from 10 different cities will approach this 'coming together' in a curatorial re-contextualization that acts as an exploration of space and time; that their visions will bring forth a quest and adventure in the liminal, the mystical and the absurd. From ways of seeing, ways of experiencing and ways of escaping, each time-based work eclectically forms the nature of this special event. Featured in the program are 2 live performances, by DDL artists, and 20 videos from visual artists; local and abroad. All artists in this show know that their context is the hosting space, while the videos approach this context through means of tone and mood, the performers use their intimate relationship with DDL to create thematic and haunting visual manifestations that reinforce the experience. They will act as anchors that stabilize and reflect the atmosphere of the event. As a curatorial experiment, “Here and There and Here/There and Here and There” explores ways of viewing that are not relying on the superficial but on the undercurrents of feeling and emotion. If you missed the Feb27th, 2011 event on the Toronto Island than you’d be silly to miss this extraordinary re-event!
