Dieter Rams
Posted by Simon Lewin

We're hoping to get along to the Dieter Rams exhibition at the Design Museum in the next few days. First became aware of his work through Vitsoe (we've developed a bit of an addiction for his shelving system) though as a kid I remember Dad having one of his Braun alarm clocks.

Particularly like Dieter Rams' Ten Principles of good design:

Good design is innovative.
Good design makes a product useful.
Good design is aesthetic.
Good design makes a product understandable.
Good design is unobtrusive.
Good design is honest.
Good design is long-lasting.
Good design is thorough down to the last detail.
Good design is environmentally friendly.
Good design is as little design as possible.

The exhibition runs at the Design Museum until March 2010 (if you visit before the end of January you'll also be able to see the show about the work of architect David Chipperfield). Here's a film about Rams' work for Vitsoe:

Bow Gamelan Ensemble
Posted by Simon Lewin

All of these autumnal pyrotechnics put in my mind of the Bow Gamelan Ensemble who I saw a few times in what must have been (from memory) the mid-late 80s.

In 1983 Paul Burwell, Richard Wilson and Anne Bean formed the Ensemble, described in Burwell's 2007 obituary in The Independent as "a multi-media urban-junk-and-pyrotechnics percussion trio".

Here the Bow Gamelan Ensemble reunite with others to perform on Wilson's boat the Slice of Life (a slice of a tug boat on the river Thames in London). More about the Ensemble

Old Town
Posted by Simon Lewin

Graphic designer and photographer Nick Hand has been cycling round the coast of Great Britain to raise funds for the Parkinson's Disease Society. Along the way he has been recording a series of 'soundslide' films, documenting the work of artisans he meets.

On the Norfolk leg of his journey he called in at our friends Old Town in Holt to make this short film about their British workwear range. Find out more about Nick's journey.

Bob and Roberta Smith
Posted by Angie Lewin

Here at the Edinburgh Festival the nomadic Grey Gallery has taken up residence in an elegant Georgian townhose and is exhibiting one of Bob and Roberta Smith's largest works to date 'This Artist is Deeply Dangerous'.

In 2008 the arts and sports writers at The Guardian were asked to swap roles. The resulting clear, enthusiastic and personal review of a Louise Bourgeois exhibition by tennis correspondent Steve Brierley caught Smith's attention - and he has painted the text onto a series of 9 panels of reclaimed wood.

The Grey Gallery @Hawke and Hunter, 12 Picardy Place, Edinbugh EH1 3JT
www.thegreygallery.com. Ends 5th September 2009. Open daily from 11am-6pm. Free admission.

Caught By The River
Posted by Simon Lewin

Our friends at Caught By The River have recently revamped their online fishing/music/literature/culture blog, created with an approach (in their own words) "like putting together a fanzine – an unshackled, uncynical torrent of enthusiasm".

And the new online store now features a range of Caught By The River goodies, including these tote bags and t-shirts.

Adam Bridgland
Posted by Simon Lewin

Another very welcome addition to the artists represented at St. Jude's.

Born in 1979, Adam Bridgland studied printmaking at Norwich School of Art & Design and then studied at the Royal College of Art (MA Fine Art Printmaking)

Adam embraces the everyday object finding inspiration from the colouring book image, travel guidebooks, and scout camping paraphernalia.

Since graduating from his Masters at the Royal College of Art in 2004, Adam has lived and worked as an artist in London.

Adam Bridgland's work is held in a number of collections including The British Museum Prints and Drawings Collection, AEA Investors LLC, UBS, The V & A, Boeing Asia, HBOS, The De La Warr Pavilion Bexhill on Sea, The Royal College of Art, The BBC and various private collections across Europe and the United States.

View further examples of work by Adam Bridgland at St. Jude's.

Mark Hearld
Posted by Simon Lewin

UPDATE Mark Hearld will be exhibiting a range of prints and unique collages at our North Norfolk gallery in Spring 2010. For details nearer the time, please sign up for our e-mail newsletter. We will also be launching the second of Mark's textile designs for our St. Jude's range in Autumn 2010.

We've previously mentioned Mark Hearld's recent exhibition in Scarborough, The Magpie Eye.

It wasn't easy to explain the breadth of the work Mark had produced or curated for the exhibition - but a short film produced by Mark and friend Lauren Godfrey does provide a great snapshot of the event for those who missed it.

Keep an eye on our textile website for details of Mark's second design for us, Bird Garden. A follow up to his successful Doveflight print.
