Framing Yours Making Mine

Back in Toronto now ...  But posts on my recent trip to London will continue.

Chromascopic

Another exciting show I went to see during my current trip to London was Chromascopic at APT Gallery, a group exhibition curated by Laurence Noga and Ben Gooding.  The focus of the show is to "examine, explore and celebrate the non-figurative flourishing of British colourists in the twenty-first century".  Clearly, the curators did an excellent job.

And the icing on the cake is that I got the chance to meet and chat with one of the friendly curators Laurance Noga finally after following him virtually for years.  I look forward to more inspiring projects from you in future, Laurence.  Congratulations on the great show!

Abstraktes Bild

I'm in heaven ... seeing Gerhard Richter's new abstract work alongside some of his most celebrated older abstract paintings currently at David Zwirner, London:

Thank you, Z, for the tip.

Morellet @ AJ

I arrived in London early this morning.  The first thing I saw was François Morellet's survey exhibition, which was opening at Annely Juda Fine Art today.  Just this wonderful show alone is already worth my trip.

After Poetry

I went to the opening reception of Chris Shepherd's new show After Poetry at a new Toronto location of Bau-Xi Gallery this past weekend.  It’s great to see some old friends.  The titles of all of Shepherd‘s photographic work are carefully chosen poetry lines.
