Don’t Panic has some wonderful coverage of Bloomberg Newcontemporaries, an exhibition that displays a wide range of works from oil paintings, to print, films and sculptures. The jury of Ken Lum, Ceal Floyer and Richard Billingham chose 57 fine art students from around the country in an effort to give them a proper stage to show their works to a broader audience. St-Clair Clarke’s sculpture, “The Unconscious Significance of Hair: Queen” is a massive, black creation with soft shapes and romantic details, mainly made out of synthetic hair. Grossly appealing, but not as amazing as Steve Bishop’s “Suspension of Disbelief”, a twisted mix of taxidermy and light.
At the entrance of the exhibit, Littlewhitehead’s masked man “So Many Fellows Find Themselves” welcomes the audience. “The installation is a man in a chair, looking relaxed and thoughtful. It takes a while to decide if it is a performance or not. Last but not least, Paul Westcombe’s filthy “Coffee Cups” gives the sense of dirt poured into your imagination, with a decaying world of sex and self abuse and watercolour comics. Yes, it’s fun the whole family can enjoy on this XMas day.
