Summer isn’t over yet! There’s still a wealth of summer blockbuster exhibitions to feast your eyes on: Keith Haring at Tate Liverpool, Tal R at the new Hastings Contemporary, and Faith Ringgold at the Serpentine - which brings us to the controversy around the Serpentine Pavilion this year, including art's recurring problem of unpaid interns.
And over in Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio have been making ceramics together late into the night at Pitt’s studio. And we feel unsettled.
But meanwhile our August artist focus has us chilled out and happy once again. Thank you Richard Long for introducing us to Land Art and your serene, poetic works. Take a listen to how we try and describe Land Art and Walk Art, be patient with us.
Don’t go yet summer, we love looking around galleries all sweaty and flustered…
