The past 8 days have been so busy its ridiculous. I am so pleased with how E-Vapor-8 turned out (with mentions on
New York magazine,
Artinfo,
Phaidon,
Purple Diary,
Rhizome and my
Dazed piece). Such a huge turn out at the opening. The show is open until May 18, Thurs-Sun 2-6pm. Go see.
Frieze also was great - esp Tanya Leighton's booth of Oliver Laric and Aleksandra Domanovic's works, Samara Golden at the Night Gallery and the pop up Soho House where we hung out for about 5 hours.
While hallucinating with jet lag (the close up image above from Travess Smalley's large vinyl piece is a fair representation of my brain) these are the people in particular that I would like to thank in an Oscar-style for making the week so fun:
All the artists - esp Lucy Stokton, Rhys Coren, Hannah Perry, Travess Smalley, Christian Petersen, Jeffrey Gibson, Alexandra Gorkczynski for travelling across the globe to be there. All at
319 Scholes - Lindsay Howard, Igal Nassima and the tech god that is Sam Hart.
DOorDINE for letting us all turn up there en masse post opening.
My boys Ben Sansbury and Nicola Pecoraro who are in 4 person show at
The Bowery Hotel which runs until May 21. Seana Gavin (whose work is on show at
The Other Art Fair from tomorrow!) and
Aurora Aspen - who are so part of me they are like extra limbs.
Kadar Brock for being amazing in general, Kaspar Sonne, Alban de P,
Steve Clark, Dave Hoyland and Tim Steer from
Seventeen (May 17 opening of Motion in the diary), Laura, Ned, Aaron and Mette Moulton for their surprise karaoke appearance amongst many others, Ruby Warrington, Brendan Fowler (finally in person), Alex Duve etc etc etc.... and last but definitely not least Jay.
