Sally Buchanan: Down to Earth

Image
Over the last 4 months I’ve been beavering away as an Artist in Residence  at  The Free Space Gallery  in Kentish Town Health Centre.  It’s been quite  an interesting life experience   -   to return as an Artist to the very Practice  where I trained as a GP some 30 years ago!                    Installation : Aurora Indoors  (minimum 1500 x 500 x 250 cm) This piece is based on the idea that some elements of  the  Northern Lights  could come inside the building.  Here  the paths of charged particles  travel across three floors up and down the busy metal  stairwell  ;  the intention is  to soften and  to shift and open out the energy of the space  and to change the experience for the patients and staff using the stairs.The threads of  imagination are coming “Down to Earth.”  Preview date :  Thursday 9th June   6.30-9.00pm Freespace Gallery,  Kentish Town Health Centre 2, Bartholomew Road NW5 2BX

Artsy

12:59 PM (3 hours ago) to bcc:  me Dear Friends Can I ask all of you for a bit of help?  My art agent in Germany has recently put her gallery, ACC Art, on an online site, for art collectors, called  Artsy . In order for the gallery and us as individual artists, to gain as much exposure and recognition as possible, we need to increase the amount of followers the gallery has and we each have. It's still early days for her gallery so it would be a huge help if you would be willing to follow the gallery and follow me ;-) (Equally, if you don't want to do this of course I completely understand).  You can do this by clicking on the two links below. You may need to register on the site first but it's worth it, they send really interesting articles about the art world.   https://www.artsy.net/acc-art https://www.artsy.net/acc-art/ artist/zoe-landau-konson Thank you so, so much.   Zoe xx Zoë Landau Konson

3 WAY MIRROR EXHIBITION AT THE PIE FACTORY MARGATE Artists: David White, Marilyn Williams and Steve Lobb This exhibition is about ways of seeing – how artists using the clay and minerals of the earth delight in its wonders … and fear for its fragility. David, well known for the classical forms and decorations of his pottery, now expresses in in new images and colours the contrasts between the beauty of nature and the human enterprises that are destroying it. He has also been creating large adventurous ceramics in collaborations with musicians as they play the works of Oliver Messiaen. Marilyn’s ceramics are drawn from the sea and foreshore with its boats plants and pebbles, and many inspired by birds, their characters and plumage and often creates a playful synthesis between these sources. This year, after visits to the wilder landscapes of the north she has been looking at rock forms and fissures, and interpreting them to convey
