Exhibition reviews satisfy one of two possibilities: to think through an exhibition more deeply or see something new. For Lemonade’s opening review, I chose the latter... The Apple and the Knife surveys four decades of practice by Canadian-born, Somerset local, Merton Chambers.

I’m on the hunt for emerging artist bio’s needing work. If this is you or someone you know, feel free to point them my way!
Pic reads: Do you have an emerging artist bio that needs fixing? I'm looking for 5 artist bios to use as examples in workshops.
Continues in thread.
The fine print: Suitable for one paragraph bios; Your text must be a genuine attempt at following artworld norms and filled with relevant details; Email to me in word doc or Google doc format: [email protected];

Does everyone else equally hate @microsoft @Office365 new track editing requirement to hit "Enter" on every comment? Doubling the time it takes to edit and leading to document crashes? Please bring back live comments. #Editingwoes #Academia
What are your thoughts on art reviews vs arts criticism? In one the noun and the other the verb? Do we shy away from criticism's implications when we call texts reviews?

If you need a little curious gentleness:
The Mindful Eye by #NicoRoenpagel and #MichaelGarbutt is an exceptionally lovely website filled with creative prompts for slowing down and looking at art. Yesterday I pretended to be an swaying kinetic sculpture.

It's a day for reading and closing tabs! I love this work in Bridget Quinn's review of New Time. It continues feminism's penchant for biting didactic text while the quartz mimics the new spiritualism of contemporary art. hyperallergic.com/678871/the…
So many possibilities! Art, renewables, housing, medical innovations, safe havens for refugees, reparations...

Tarryn Gill’s winning work Limber (Bather) is absolutely beguiling. Art history’s reclining nudes, Pop Art’s soft sculpture and Surrealism’s Hans Bellmer-esque poupees collide with glitzy camp gold. A well deserved win in 15 Artists at Redcliffe Art Gallery, QLD. – at Brisbane, Queensland
