Spike Island

Couple of cracking shows just coming to an end at Spike Island in Bristol:

Dewar & Gicquel, Crêpe Suzette.

Daniel Dewar and Grégory Gicquel have been working collaboratively since 1998, and Crêpe Suzette is their first solo exhibition in the UK. The pair’s work resists much that has become commonplace in contemporary sculptural practice, such as the use of readymade objects and the outsourcing of production to fabricators. They instead favour a physical reengagement with materials and processes. That this appropriation of the handmade and the crafted is a critical, rather than reactionary response, is made evident by the artists’ knowingly absurd pop- and folk-inflected artworks.

The Artists' Postcard Show

The Artists’ Postcard Show is a selective survey of the postcard as a distinctive artistic medium from the mid-twentieth century to present day. All of the works have been produced with the idea, if not always the function, of the postcard in mind.d.
