Claude Cahun
Claude Cahun should be held responsible,
Claude Cahun should be held responsible,
Claude Cahun should be held responsible for planting the seeds of radical gender critique for the 20th and 21st century,
Claude Cahun should be held responsible,
Claude Cahun should be held responsible, but the tragedy is that very little is...

Performance: Patrick Coyle, Bettina Wind, Adam...
With a tip-off from Art Licks last Tuesday, I headed to Whitechapel for an evening of performance at The Mews Project Space, programmed by co-founders Carlos Noronha Feio and Mikael Larsson. If you’ve not been before, I highly recommend you make your way to this back-alley space, just behind the Whitechapel gallery and a few feet off the high street up Brick Lane.
The Mews is hidden behind an...

DAY FIVE: Artinavan // Bureau Detours...
We have had a really active day here at the colony, everyone’s been working hard to finish their installations. Most of Artinavan are heading back to London tomorrow to tend to our space at the Brixton Village Market.
The rest of the colony will continue to work until the grand opening to the public on Friday night.
We anticipate the thought of leaving Århus with apprehension. Bureau...
DAY FOUR: Artinavan // Bureau Detours...
Today’s been a highly productive day here at the colony. After making a full English for the whole team we held a meeting to finalise ideas using yesterday’s maquettes. We’ve been hard at work this afternoon extending the interlinking bridges and chambers, which bring the whole space together. We’ve also added more seating and some shelving to the bar. The red light...
DAY THREE: Artinavan // Bureau Detours...
Production today has been slower than usual, due to team moral in hangover mood after last night’s pre-opening. We’ve all been absorbed in our own creative projects during the day, people have been experimenting with materials and the welding workshop saw its first piece of action. The collective have been working on video documentations and short films, and producing maquettes for...
DAY TWO: Artinavan // Bureau Detours Collaboration
We’ve been hard at work getting the space ready for tonight’s beta opening, a chance for people to see the project in progress. We’ve just finished for the day, the cocktails are ready and people are beginning to arrive. Everyone’s looking forward to a hard earned break, and tonight gives us a chance to present everything we’ve achieved so far. The main...
DAY ONE: Artinavan // Bureau Detours Collaboration
We arrived at the Bureau Detours studios here in Arhus, Denmark on Wednesday night and after a thorough guided tour of the space and local area, we got stuck in to some collective brainstorming. The group are working together to transform the studio space, a converted train warehouse, into a functioning habitat based on an ant colony. Ants are social insects who have existed over 600 times longer...
A Eulogy and a Christening: Pop Life and the...
Could Tate Modern be right on the money? Often criticised for being behind the times and out of step, at the tail end of the last decade the gallery and its older sibling Tate Britain held two exhibitions that may well define a turning point in contemporary art of the early twenty first century. Both exhibitions were not all encompassing or even particularly pioneering but can be seen as...
