It’s a great show; well worth seeing!

“The film’s sense of disorientation is compounded by the installation itself, in which a cluster of discrete works comprising fluorescent lights, shimmering structures and sound creates an almost sculptural force. All-in-all, the visceral impact is nearly overpowering.”

[Daniel & Clara @DanielAndClara]

“In looking at Daniel & Clara’s work, we glimpse ourselves.”

@MatthewBowman00 has written a cracking review of our exhibition The Watcher and the Bird at @uniessexlibrary @artexchange – read HERE: https://t.co/A2B4bePgF0

BIRDING is a new body of work we've been making over the last year about birdwatching and the human gaze.

Here is my obituary on Richard Serra, published on @ArtReview_ . You read it here: https://t.co/meBYWQBfND

[ArtReview_ @ArtReview_]

Richard Serra’s death, at the age of 85, not only brings to closure his ‘life-time involvement’ in sculpture but also signals the end of a stellar generation of North American artists https://t.co/Pb1SmiJePm
