Highlights
We are pleased to announce the second edition of the Jerwood/Film and Video Umbrella Awards: ‘What Will They See of Me’. Applications open Monday 20 May.
Commissioned for the ‘Estuary’ exhibition at Museum of London, Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen’s ‘Portrait of a River’ is an evocative study of the sometimes overlooked, strangely indeterminate landscape through which the Thames cuts its sluggish, widening course on its journey out to sea.
Layla Curtis’ ‘Antipodes’ is an ongoing online and photographic project that pairs webcam images from places at the opposite ends of the globe.
‘MerzBank’ is a repository of artists’ online works that draw their inspiration from that trailblazing exponent of collage, Kurt Schwitters. Guided by his innovations in the visual arts, in spoken word, in typography and poetry, the project anticipates how Schwitters’ mercurial spirit might have flourished in the online world.
FVU Recommends
Thomson & Craighead in ‘NEVER ODD OR EVEN’ at Carroll/Fletcher Gallery, 24 May - 6 July
