at Mail Me Art at South London’s Red Gate Gallery, Curator Darren Di Lieto asked for illustrators and artists to post envelopes adorned with artwork to the same address - over a period of a year…
Christoph Niemann:
During the cold and dark Berlin winter days, I spend a lot of time with my boys in their room. And as I look at the toys scattered on the floor, my mind inevitably wanders back to New York.

UVA were commissioned by Virgin Media to create ‘an immersive light installation celebrating 10 years of broadband in the UK’. Speed of Light will be a series of experimental light works flowing through the labyrinthine spaces of the Bargehouse, the four-storey industrial space on the South Bank which has hosted various art events in the recent past as well as the St Martins degree show.
“Come see 5 of Romania’s finest street artists and illustrators of the moment – Aitch, Irlo, Noper, Saddo and Sinboy – work the Night Shift at McCann Erickson Pop-Up Gallery. We put in hard hours during the day; they take over during the night.
The result is nocturnal, dreamy, light and magical, which borders dark, violent, nightmarish and straight-up horror.
Showcasing some of their work on paper, carton and wood, drawing directly on the walls of the Gallery, experimenting with characters and symbols and playing with lighting of the space, the artists will go for a unique atmosphere all throughout the show.”
Kozyndan are Los Angeles based mad scientists. They are working on a secret formula for controlled nuclear fusion, and are creating a line of edible chickens. For fun they like to take long deep breaths and dip their heads into bowls of raspberry jelly and lemon curd. They live indoors and don’t paint on walls. The couple also moonlights as freelance illustrators.
an installation by rAndom international and Chris O’Shea (circa 2008).
The installation includes 64 mirror objects, each controlled by 2 servos for pan and tilt. These objects would orientate towards themselves and when someone appeared in the space, they would pause, then all turn to face the person. They would track a visitor around the room, but move on to someone else if they got bored (based on various scoring) or continue to chat between themselves. The mirrors can be positioned anywhere and any angle, calibrated in a way to always look roughly at the area of a visitors face.
The installation aims to reverse the roles of the viewer and the viewed during this in-voluntary interaction. It seeks to establish a different kind of relationship between viewer and technology. Will other members of the audience experience the sensation of being ignored or excluded when they are not the centre of attention? Will the installation create a feeling of un-ease and unsettlement? The work investigates if machines can evoke diverse emotional reactions with the simplest of mean
“Artists’ sketch- and notebooks have often been searched for insight into the process of inspiration. In a digital age, amidst masses of stunning imagery found online every day, the challenge for creatives is not only to filter and reflect this input, but also to develop a raison d’être, relevance and impact for any new images brought into the world.
In their video Muse, FIELD is remixing their private digital scrapbooks from the last 3 years. A flood of inspiring images and references is transformed into an ocean of colour, fuelled from Evernote, our blog field.io/process, our favourites on Google Reader and Flickr, and other sources.
With Muse we would like to touch on the controversial nature of the internet’s sharing culture. By using other people’s work in our film we acknowledge the impact of referencing and mimicking on the creative process, while originality, authorship, and crediting remain sensitive topics in a world where images spread like chinese whispers.”
