Los Angeles-based artist Richard Jackson just opened an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in London. Inspired by abstract expressionism and action painting, Jackson has created dynamic sculptures around which paint is thrown or shot out loosely. An installation features a row of sculptures of men bending over forwards with their trousers at their ankles, aiming their rears at the wall. Upon activation of Jackson’s device, paint squirted out of each of their rear ends, staining the wall.
Another installation, “Shower Room” (2013), show smeared paint inside a shower room, with an uncanny resemblance to blood, reminding of a reconstitution of the shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.”

Back in 2011, French graffiti writers from Toulouse, namely Dark, Dspri, Keyler, Mikoz, Spazm, Spot and Xerou who are sharing the same passion for abandoned spaces, decided to create a touring exhibition called Memoire Industrielle. Using found objects from various industrial sites across France gathered through the different stages of the project, artists have reconstructed a large scale modelling version of an abandoned factory.
For the 8th edition of this touring exhibition, Memoire Industrielle has taken over the former JOB paper factory (famously illustrated by A. Mucha during the Art Nouveau period for its cigarette paper). The show also features artworks and a series of prints on original papers issued from the JOB factory with two special guests: Korail and Dran.

We were granted access during the set-up as Barcelona based artist Sixe Paredes (formerly known as Sixeart) is launching his new exhibition titled Futurismo Ancestral: An Offering to Peru at Somerset House in London and curated by ApprovedByPablo. Inspired by his travels in Peru Sixe Parades pays tribute to Peruvian and Andean aesthetics. Using techniques and collaborating with the local creative community, Sixe Parades has created 25 colourful large-scale works from tapestries, totem sculptures, arches, ceramics and quipus. A series of multisensorial events, from food, film and music is also planned in parallel to the exhibition. See the full program here.
