Today's Special

Keith Coventry, Kebab Machine 2 (bronze, 109 x 38 x 38 cm. Ed 3), 1998.
... was brought to us by Pace London & Abdullah AlTurki, with installations, sculpture, painting, photography and video works by Gabriel Orozco, Juergen Teller, Elad Lassry, Mat Collishaw, Keith Coventry, and some other artist's work. The exhibition "takes a satirical look at the way society represents, consumes and obsesses over food."
Juergen Teller, 25 works (lightjet digital c-print, 25.4 x 20.3 cm. Ed 5), 2010
Between July and September 2014, the multiplication of food imagery included a growing number of cuisines, programmes and social channels across London and beyond, depicting and significantly exploring the relations between contemporary human relationships, like close friends and professional acquainted people, and food eating habits from distinctive parts of the world. Some highlights include,
getting everybody together for lunch at M's garden cooked by M. and myself; meeting with L. and S. at their new house for a diner, sprinkled with a gratifying feeling brought on by a selection of French wines; dinning with A. and C. at a high-street restaurant to discuss the lightness of salads, a selection drawn upon a table cheese and the destructive implications of Brace Brace; getting together with L. and M. for a barbecue at the local park while visioning the Northern counties; eating with V. at the closest pub to conjure about power mechanisms; a light lunch with M. at his being-refurbished-house; be with M. for a pint and peanuts; joining S. and his family for his birthday party and a mixture of disrupted and consumed appearances; and some Samuel Smith's traditional meals at different locations. Overall, today's special has been a time of full of gratifying eating impulses, activities and experiences.

A London

at Ping
Andy Warhol had photography running through his whole practice. From the screen prints of famous people, to the soup cans, he used photography in a diaristic way taken one to three films a day. A combination of expressions about life; an interest in the non-hierarchical of contemporary life and everyday life things, and also on the reproducibility of the image. His work alludes to the reproducibility of the image, like a wall of mirrors, of photographic reproduction. By stitching images together (like the ones of the ice cream van, in the photo below) he produces a unique art work. With a sculptural quality. With him we see "famous" people laying together with, positioned on the same level of recognisable objects, brands, those desirous things/wants that define the society where we find ourselves immersed in on an historical level. He said things about life, sex, playing, felling both ways with music and things we can't say about food and about you, it is about two, three, the night and day be together.
