CLIVE HEAD EXHIBITION: MODERN PERSPECTIVES

I visited this exhibition last Friday, and I thought I would share it with you.  It's a unique look at Clive Head's artwork, capturing the moment in a certain place and time.  It was interesting to me because of the 'Sense of Place' assignment I'm doing in Yr 1, IDIA.  But it could also appeal to others.  I will send you the link and you can see for yourselves:

Cake & Neave - 'The little artists' works 1995-2010

John Cake & Darren Neave

From 1995-2010 artists John Cake and Darren Neave produced their infamous Lego recreations of iconic modern art masterpieces, under the banner of ‘The Little Artists.’ These included Damien Hirst’s Shark Tank, Tracey Emin’s Bed and Joseph Beuys’ Sledges.

This book is an overview of the Lego series and also looks at the duo’s other work from that period, a body of work that questions contemporary art and the culture that creates it.

Michael Szpakowski , a WSD lecturer has essays published in the book, it is definitely worth a look!
