Turner Prize 2008
The Turner Prize is a tense affair. I was tense as I entered, everyone else seemed tense as they shuffled around and the artists themselves must be tense; it is a competition after all. Why is everything connected to this infamous exhibition constantly on edge? Love it or loathe it.......

"Making just one postage stamp or flip book would seem silly. Museums and galleries are recent inventions and are great places to show art, but CD covers are also good, as are mantelpieces and books and invite cards and banners and city streets. It has been a frustration to......

Richard Owen - Moods for Moderns
I made a swift exit from a new Commercial Road special on emerging artists. Street art has never really been my thing and even for such a good cause, The Thaw was never able to hold my attention long enough to sway me. Fortunately, East London in November is never......

'In Fragments' at the Ada Street Gallery
In Fragments is an exhibition that brings together fourteen young and exciting emerging artists from the Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm. It is their first London based show and should prove to be an interesting one. I was in the area today and since the door was......

For yet another year, the not-for-profit Zoo Art Fair has attracted widespread praise. Sales, while prices have lowered a little, have defied expectations to reflect this. "Fresh art and keen prices make Zoo a hit," headlined the Friday edition of The Art Newspaper's Frieze accompaniments, "Forget Frieze: the Zoo......

Frieze Art Fair
'People are talking about the financial markets,' says one collector in the hailstorm of art market gossip articles from yesterday's VIP and press day at London's most important contemporary art event of the year. The general assessment is that 'the worst financial crisis since 1929' has slowed the usually......

The Future Can Wait
'The Future Can Wait' is a show that I was really rather excited about seeing. Well, who wouldn't be engaged by a show that promised "50 rising stars and future greats"? Undoubtedly there was a lot of talent showing work in the exhibition. Many of the artists exhibiting......

RCA Painting Interim Show 2008
I was fortunate enough to attend the opening night of the RCA's Painting Interim Show. It was certainly worth a visit. While not necessarily 'blown away' by the exhibition I did think that it was a well put together show considering it was such an inevitable mix of......

Best In Show
As art season starts to move into full swing there are shows opening up most nights across the capital over the next month. Best In Show should be an interesting one. Put together by the duo Pearce and Ramsay and following on from a similar show last year, their preferred work......
