ABOUT FRESH AIR SCULPTURE

Set up by art collectors, Lucy and David Abel Smith, the first Fresh Air Sculpture was held in the Quenington Old Rectory gardens in 1992. Acclaim for the show’s originality and innovative mixture of traditional, modern and cutting-edge outdoor sculpture has grown year by year and Fresh Air Sculpture is now an established and much anticipated fixture in the art events calendar. Fresh Air Sculpture became a charitable trust, under Quenington Sculpture Trust, in 1997.

Posted @withregram • @hayward.gallery ”I expected the trees in the exhibition to take me into another zone, but I hadn’t realised how they would abolish the claustrophobia of the last months’ pandemic conditions and change my sense of time.” - Marina Warner In a lyrical essay, cultural historian and writer Marina Warner reflects on her post-lockdown visit to Among the Trees. You can read the essay via link in bio. Among the Trees is open until 31 October.

Frieze Sculpture opens Monday ! . Posted @withreg Frieze Sculpture opens Monday ! . Posted @withregram • @friezeartfair British artist Gavin Turk presents L'Âge d'Or for Frieze Sculpture at Regents Park.⁠ ⁠ The work invokes Magritte’s painting ‘La Victoire’ and the title references Luis Bunuel’s surreal film of the same name. It is a playful surrealist public artwork that the audience enjoys interacting with as a gateway to their imagination. L’Âge d’Or teases the audience to question notions of home, security, architecture and also the bolder concepts of inside and outside. ⁠ ⁠ Presented by @maruanimercier⁠ ⁠ #FriezeSculpture opens on Monday in Regent's Park in London as part of Frieze Week! More info via the link in bio⁠ ⁠ #gavinturk #frieze #friezelondon #regentspark #sculpture #sculptureart

Andrew Precup showed a provocative and moving inst Andrew Precup showed a provocative and moving installation with us at Fresh Air Sculpture 2019. . Here is some new equally thought provoking work... . Posted @withregram • @precupac "A penny and a dream" is a series of small scale sculptures consisting of hand made houses and real bank notes or coins. The houses are made from materials varying from steel to marble. Each one is unique but all of them abstract and blank, becoming a representation for a universal home. The currency adds value to the work both conceptually and literally. Whilst the quirky and humorist value of the work is inviting, the piece is posing the following questions: What is the value and worth of this art piece? Will the spending of the notes devalue the work? Key points of the work: • the house is a vessel, a void and a symbol for grounding, safety and belonging. • the exchange between the artist and the buyer becomes part of the concept • the work will not devalue completely and become worthless as long as the bank note is attached to the piece A penny and a dream No.1 Steel and £10 note 6x6x9 cm Edition of 10 £10.01 (+p&p) For any information dm me or visit my website www.andreiprecup.com ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE is a generous culture and dynamic economy in support of artists and makers. The concept is a simple one, post images of your work to sell for NO MORE (can be less) than $200 (£200, €200, A$300, C$300, ¥20000) each (not including shipping.) Anyone can then buy the work. Every time you reach $1000 (A$1500, C$1500, ¥100,000) of sales you pledge to buy another artist/s work for $200.

Yesterday we went to the MA Grad Show @saatchi_gal Yesterday we went to the MA Grad Show @saatchi_gallery. So much wonderful work there - truly inspiring. . We loved this ... Interpreter XIII by @betty.leung.art. Digital print on fabric, stuffed into sausage like lengths. We had to really restrain ourselves from squeezing it. . The show is open until 25 September. . . . . . . #bettyleung #magradshow #londongradshow #londongradsnow #saatchigallery #sculpture #contemporarysculpture #artgraduates #sculpturelovers #sculptureart #modernart #visitsaatchi
Posted @withregram • @the_rhs Have you had a cha Posted @withregram • @the_rhs Have you had a chance to visit the monumental Four Seasons sculptures at @rhswisley yet? Inspired by 16th century paintings of nature and brought to life by sculptor and filmmaker Philip Haas, The Four Seasons are often displayed together, but the decision to place each in their own setting at Wisley allows them to be appreciated individually, surrounded by the Garden's grand vistas. The Four Seasons exhibition at Wisley has been extended to the end of the year, book your visit on our website to see the sculptures in each of their spectacular settings. #SummerGardenDays #philliphaas #philliphaasfourseasons #wisley #garden #scuplture
