[Recessed Space @RecessedSpace]

In her latest film, @beatricegibson explores dreamspace & its potential for inner escape. Conceived during the pandemic, "Dreaming Alcestis" explores confinement within the domestic environment & ideas of transformation, as Gibson tells @rochellerart:

Loved reimagining Anne Hathaway for this brilliant anthology, and wonderful to be published alongside so many fantastic poets!

[Broken Sleep Books @brokensleep]

PREORDER (30.04.2022):

For four centuries Anne Shakespeare, née Hathaway, has been in her famous husband’s shadow. It’s high time she had a book of her own.

Today, on International Women's Day, we present an anthology of poems for Anne Hathaway.

A very special opening of Alice Neel: Hot Off The Griddle last night @BarbicanCentre. The exhibition is incredible and was so lovely to see so many people carrying a copy of our beautiful little book around with them 🌀

@EloiseHendy @BarbicanCentre @Prestel_pub Thank you! I’m really excited for everyone to see it

[rochelle roberts @rochellerart]

Wonderful review of Alice Neel: Hot Off The Griddle opening @BarbicanCentre tomorrow and lovely to see a small mention of the beautiful book I was so happy to work on @Prestel_pub

[Eloise Hendy @EloiseHendy]

I wrote about Alice Neel ahead of the new bumper exhibition of her work @BarbicanCentre and spoke to Curator Eleanor Nairne about being “dangerously in love” with Neel and her paintings

Does anyone have any essay, book, etc. recs about psychological presence in the wake of physical absence, houses/structures as sites of memory &/or the body as absence in relation to death/grief/loss

[The Debutante @TheDebutante_]

Patricia Paludanus' pencil works transport us through magical portals into surrealist realms to draw us back to an early magical seeing when our eyes were brand new.
