Josiah McElheny: Some Thoughts About The Average Body
Josiah McElheny: Some Thoughts About The Average Body
20/06/2012It is a particularly exciting time for Josiah McElheny, with three museum exhibitions displaying the diversity of subjects with which he is involved: currently on view through July 20 at Whitechapel Gallery, London is a year-long installation The Past is a Mirage I'd Left Far Behind, in part a meditation on abstraction in film throughout the twentieth century. Over the course of the next nine months two U.S. museums will present separate survey exhibitions of McElheny's work.

Will Sweeney | Interview
Vivid colors and bold graphics has put Will Sweeney in a field of his own as an illustrator depicting some of the most graphic topics when it comes to art. No matter what Will Sweeney is working on it will always make for a great topic of conversation, from the Englishman's notable comic Tales From Greenfuzz, to his upcoming exhibition in Madrid entitled Captain Minds Eye. I caught up with Will to find out more about the artist who does more than capture the attention of his audience and it doesn't matter what medium he works on.

Le Creative Sweatshop Interview
Existing in its own world developed around fixed and dynamic works of volume, Le Creative Sweatshop is a creative studio based in Paris at the crossroads of fashion, design, contemporary art and architecture. Committed to originality and quality, the studio's hand-crafted work defines a unique identity seen through a number of collaborations and commissions as well as their own projects. Their style is bright and trippy, sometimes phallic, with just a hint of tongue-in-cheek playfulness and at times, perhaps a touch of underlying cynicism and/or satire.
