It’s beach weather here in Brighton, but first aggregated art links for a Bank Holiday Weekend:
- How could a show with such a title be anything but great. Read about “Ain’t Painting a Pain?†by Richard Jackson at Orange County Museum of Art
- Billions and billions of stars are now available for viewing at Apexart in New York for the “Slack-jawed wonderment†of all who drop by
- Some more committed Russian protest art, this time from student Peter Pavlesnkiy. He’s stripped off and wrapped himself in barbed wire. Wince
- It surprised me to learn that Bedwyr Williams is an official druid. Karen Wright visits the artist in his studio ahead of representing Wales in Venice this year
- Michael Jang’s family photos are better than most. American Suburb X post a hugely enjoyable gallery of his kin larking about
- Madrid’s Reina SofÃa to show more than 200 works by Salvador DalÃ. I for one would be quite ok with the legendary surrealist coming back into vogue
- The Hammer Museum in LA is showing an exhibition of sculptural oddities by Enrico David. Contemporary Art Daily has the pics
- Tracey Emin is interviewed at length about love, growing up and Louise Bourgeois. Art Info carry the three page story
- Blogger Chloe Nelkin has clearly enjoyed Tate Modern’s low key show of 97-year-old Lebanese artist Saloua Raouda Choucair
- Henri, the Existential Cat, has made a new film for the Paris Review. I think I’ve linked to him before but he is fantastique.
