You’ll be a woman soon

Artist, designer, illustrator and all round creative eccentric Julie Verhoeven is getting her first well-deserved museum show as an artist at MU in Eindhoven. Entitled ‘Man Enough To Be A Woman’, the exhibition includes installation, film works, sculptures, canvas pieces and past collaborations with people like Peter Saville and Fischerspooner.

From Nov 13 to Dec 30 at Mu, Eindhoven.

A whiter shade of pale

The King of visceral pop art, Paul McCarthy heads to NYC for an enticing new exhibition. He’s put aside pigs, pirates and sploosh style mess to create an entire body of work about Snow White – often with her hands between her legs – and her many dwarves. To mirror the words of Mae West: “I used to be Snow White but I drifted.”

‘White Snow’ opens on November 4 at Hauser and Wirth in New York.

Talent Watch: Alice Moloney

Who: Alice Moloney, 22, London
What: Illustrator
Where: Royal College of Art

Alice says: “This watercolour portrait (pictured) is from a series entitled ’10 til 3′. It’s based on a week spent at Newent House Day Centre for the elderly. My final degree show piece is based on criminals. I like the fact that you can never tell who really is evil, and who isn’t, just by looking at mug shots. Some of the characters look completely innocent, but they’re not.”

Influences: Marlene Dumas and Uwe Wittwer.

Obsession: Collecting unicorns, vintage glasses and old photographs from car-boot sales.

Projects: Illustrating a set of commissioned books; one of which is based on the county of Middlesex.
