Gilbert & George at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac

Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Salzburg will show a group of pictures from the latest series by the English artists Gilbert & George. Gilbert & George have spent many years preparing these London Pictures, which mark a new period in their work. They took thousands of photographs documenting a widespread peculiarity of the press landscape in England: posters with sensational headlines advertising the newspapers on sale in kiosks. They are like heralds blaring out fanfares, titillating public curiosity about the most outrageous and brutal stories of the day. London Pictures will be on view January 19, 2013 at Galerie Thaddaeus, Mirabellplatz 2, 5020, Salzburg Austria

'Lick' Shirts by Skye Nicolas

Lick_Shirts_by_Skye_Nicolas

New York based artist Skye Nicolas is to release a limited edition t-shirt called 'Lick' which is a play on people's perceptions and personal prejudices as a result of overexposure to a hyper-media culture that uses female objectification and sexually charged imagery in contemporary advertising. The pretty girl in the shirt graphic is simply eating an ice cream cone. But due to the way the photo is cropped, distorts how people evaluate the image. Only 100 t-shirts will be available starting on November 17, but you can pre-order now.
