Music: Mary Anne Hobbs

MAH

Quite possibly the hardest working woman in radio, Mary Anne Hobbs has just got back from a gig in Moscow when I speak to her, and she’s still pretty hyped about it.  “I’ve never played in Moscow before, and you tend to find in Eastern Europe the reception you get is absolutely phenomenal.” CONTINUE READING THIS POST >

Arts: Clare Rojas – We They, We They

Clare Rojas – We They, We They
Ikon Gallery, 1 Oozells Square, Birmingham. 0121 248 0708
ikon-gallery.co.uk
3 February – 21 March 2010
Free entry
The beautiful folk-inspired work of Clare Rojas comes to the Ikon as the gallery presents the first UK museum exhibition by the American artist.
Using a wide range of media, including painting, installation and print-making the exhibition, comprising much new work, marks a shift in Rojas’ practice. Paintings of empty domestic interiors suggest people have just departed, leaving clues of their identities, subtle revelations of gender and class.
The paintings will form centrepieces in a larger installation that is the entire exhibition, walls of the gallery covered by a patchwork of painted panels akin to a quilt.  Some are focused on particular imagery; others are assemblages of colour and pattern. They combine to recall a myriad of references from West Coast modernism, to Latino folk or Native American craft, outsider art and street graffiti.
Ikon’s Tower Room will contain paintings on antique banjos, drawing together Rojas’ musical and literary interests. There will also be a concert in which the artist will perform songs taken from her albums released under the name of her alter-ego Peggy Honeywell. See ikon-gallery.co.uk for performance date.
