In a reality TV saturated culture, Gillian Wearing’s exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery couldn’t have come at a better time. Wearing has been ahead of the game since the late 90s, which is what makes her work all the more fascinating. The Turner Prize winner creates fly-on-the-wall documentaries, performance pieces, takes portraits and makes reality TV... Read more
Filmed against a backdrop of arcade and slushie machines in the 80s-decked-out Rowans bowling alley at Finsbury Park (just far enough out of reach for the Effes Pool Club scensters), this beautifully shot video showcases Percival’s Spring/Summer 12 collection for men and women. Inspired by the lack of sun the British ‘summer’ is offering, Pervival... Read more
We love the pictures, and they are certainly having something of a revival, in East London at least since the opening of the Hackney Picturehouse. Then last week, veteran East-end multiplex Genesis, now a privately owned indie (perhaps a little put out by the Picturehouse’s rather cool offering on Mare Street), upped its game by... Read more

Every man and his dog are making EPs these days, crowding the new music scene with tasters and teasers for the discerning listeners to plough through, and presenting the artists with the challenge of grabbing people’s increasingly wavering attention. So when we saw that Jay James Picton was grabbing the mutt by the nuts and... Read more
“I’ve always wanted to make a film in which dream blends with reality, and vice-versa. As Georg Christoph Lichtenberg tells us, only the fusion of dream and reality can make up a complete human life. Sadly, our civilization has no time for dreams. There’s no money in them.” Jan Svankmajer With a quote like that... Read more
You’ll remember we popped along to the CSM NOVA awards last week. The winner, Isak Akerlund has made this amazing trailor of his winning film, exclusively for Art Wednesday. Sit back, relax and watch the magic happen. The film is available to view until 17 December at the Windows Gallery, Central Saint Martins, The Granary, 1 Granary Square,... Read more
We don’t like to get too involved with politics here at Art Wednesday, but we do like to make a special effort to promote creativity that can help bring people together and make a difference to people’s lives. We therefore thought it was important to share a short film with you. Saatchi & Saatchi Israel... Read more
