the new curiosity shop by daniel poole
the kinetica is now in the past but i made contacts with loads of cool artists, curators and galleries that i now stay in touch with. one of the most interesting stalls at the kinetica was presented by daniel poole. it was full of quirky 80's toys and neon signs. i very much like his style.
he got in touch with me a week after the show and invited me to be part of his newest installation called 'the new curiosity shop'.it is hosted by the london-newcastle-project-space in red church street, an amazing gallery!!!
it took nearly a week to install all the artwork and 'curate' the pieces in the best possible way, which was difficult as all the works are so intense and over the top, that it resembles a cluttered up charity shop from outer space. there is an army of toy robots, rubber dinosaurs, a bumper car, tiny chairs and super retro acrylic canvasses featuring tank girl and astro boy. what a show..by calling the whole installation the curiosity shop, daniel got away with this unconventional lay out.
works featured in the show where paintings by jennifer louise martin,a neon extravaganza by Chris Bracey, Ye olde sign writer Jac, New York found objects artist Merrill, assemblage artist Laurence Poole, mixed media artist Sue Golden, sculptor Finn Stone, Darren Cleary, Dianne Harris, Robert Moore, Nathaniel Caird, Tracy Jean Shields, as well as a cornucopia of curiosities.
the private view was a great success and the shop is open until the 17th of march. if you haven't seen it yet and are in london, come down and check out the kitsch!

kinetica art fair 2012
a good friend of mine told me about the kinetica art fair, that was in september last year. Until then i was not aware that platforms for kinetic art exist. I had a look on the kinetica website and applied for the fair but unfortunately the dead line had passed and i was initially rejected. the organisers asked me to send some images or footage of my work anyways, somebody might drop out. It took less then a day and i received an offer to be part of the fair. I was stoked!!
the kinetica art fair is organised by the kinetica museum. it is the biggest international art fair that focuses on kinetic art, e.g.sound-based, new media, mechatronics, robotics, etc. i could write a whole article about the fair, but for the main info check http://www.kinetica-artfair.com.
Beeing part of this fair was an amazing experience. everything was so professional compared to the couple of shows i had so far. the press coverage was enormous and the visitors count high, just like the ticket and drink prices:)i was very flattered that my stall got so much interest. i even gave a couple of interviews to tv- and radio stations, including bbc and wired. the exposure was overwhelming. watching the viewer playing with my installations was the greatest fun and caused many interesting chats. I made many contacts with interesting artists, curators, collectors and galleries. one of the curators i met is Gabriella Daris. She is currently working on a project with David Medalla, called the london biennale. It will be held in may and i am part of it.hopefully this will be one of many shows that will result out of the kinetica. exciting times!
