Empire of the son

28.09.2010 | Art , Blog , Culture | BY:

This autumn sees the arrival of ‘Empire’, an exciting sculpture show from Marcus Kleinfeld at the Hannah Barry Gallery in Peckham, South London. You may know Kleinfeld’s work from the ‘Let There Be Sculpture!’ show held in the grounds of Roche Court in Wiltshire. He’s also exhibited at Barry’s acclaimed Peckham Pavilion exhibition at the 53rd Venice Biennale.

This Berlin-born, Goldsmiths graduate’s work makes grand gestures. Just look at the vibrant and expressive paintings shown here. This show promises to be no different – his is a piercing social commentary on status and order. For the first month of the show, the artist’s supporting paintings and drawings will be on display in the secondary Hannah Barry space on Bond Street.

‘Empire’ is at The Hannah Barry Gallery until November 24th. The Bond Street gallery is open Monday – Saturday 10am – 6pm and Peckham 12pm – 6pm Friday & Saturday, or by appointment

Party in the Car Park

08.07.2010 | Blog | BY:

For the best view in London get down to Frank’s Cafe in Peckham. The bar and accompanying art exhibition that’s perched on the roof of the Rye Lane multi-storey car park, is reprised for the summer.

Twin went along to the opening last week, which saw inhabitants of East London head south en masse to support Frank’s founders Paloma Gormley, Lettice Drake and Hannah Barry. We were particularly impressed by Paloma’s papa, Antony Gormley, who was spotted getting down to the sounds of the Thong Song. Rousing stuff.
