Peckham to Moscow

1 November 2012

Still gloating over Ruairiadh O’Connell’s work I head to Clapham to visit Nogah Engler and Ori Gersht’s studios.

We were all in awe and loved her descriptions.

Then it was to visit Studio Voltaire where Tamsin was waiting for us showed us the intense and prolific sculptures by Nicole Eismann.

Finally we are in Peckham and of course first stop is South London Gallery. The restaurant was buzzing with trade, the cuisine was superb. We bumped into Margot Heller, Jake Miller and Jan Debbaut. In the main hall was Rashid Johnson’s show which seemed to be a mini retrospective of his work rather than an intimate environment even if some plants had been placed very high up on the beams of the atrium.

Back in the West End we managed to catch a glimpse of Oscar Tuazon’s tough work at Jonathan Viner. Saad Qureshi was showing at Gazelli Art House on Dover Street called I thought he had managed very well to create a strong show.
