Like any leading athlete, when it comes to sportswear, Nike is constantly pushing itself to do better, to go above and beyond the remit – to infinity and beyond! And so, for its latest collaboration, Nike asked artist Tom Sachs to create an artisanal capsule collection labeled NIKECraft that could be worn by astronauts. Known... Read more
So, imagine that you walk into a room, everyone is looking at you and their expressions seem pretty accusatory. How would you feel about that? This is the welcome Johan Andersson’s Stolen Faces exhibition gives us. Andersson has a gift for portraiture – he was the youngest person ever to be shortlisted for the BP Portrait... Read more
We’re getting rather excited about festival season here at Art Wednesday, and in our usual ‘sharing’s caring’ kind-of way we thought we’d spread the love a little. We’re giving away a pair of tickets for this year’s Apple Cart Festival – the second coming of this self-proclaimed ‘melting pot’ festival. ‘Melting pot?’ You say? ‘Oh... Read more

Having neglected the need to wrap up for the not-so-tropical May... Read more
Last Thursday, we donned a scarf, braced the cold (isn’t it meant to be May?) and headed down to the Photoautomat launch party at Netil House. Photoautomat is the company behind the analogue photo booths you may have come across dotted on the streets of Berlin; in London they have a booth in the beer... Read more
The first thing we caught whiff of, on entering the gallery from the bustling Vauxhall Bridge road, was the strong smell of fresh paint. The Edel Assanti gallery had just had a makeover – and from the smell of it, they’d literally finished painting it that day. The stark white walls were enhanced by almost... Read more
With some much missed heat finally hitting the city, we decided to take an early summer stroll over to Galerie Neu for Gedi Sibony’s solo show opening.
