Dame Elizabeth Blackadder, Megan Swann, Richard Smyth, The Story of Looking.

Hello Autumn! We are so ready for you. It’s been a disappointing summer weather-wise here in the UK, so we are very excited for a September full of art and exhibitions. New exhibitions include Doron Lamberg at Victoria Miro, Helen Frankenthaler at Dulwich Picture Gallery, Tacita Dean at Frith Street Gallery and Surrealist Female Artists at the Whitechapel. Our main story focuses on Poland, and a controversial ‘anti-cancel culture’ art exhibition that was set to open at Ujazdowski Castle Center for Contemporary Art. We discuss some of the 30 artists included, and the protests surrounding it from Poland’s anti-fascist league and various LGBTQ+ and Jewish organizers. We also look back on the lives of two artists who passed away recently: Dame Elizabeth Blackadder and Chuck Close, before turning to our Artist Focus: Cindy Sherman. Sherman is an American artist whose work consists primarily photographic self-portraits, depicting herself in many different contexts and as various imagined characters. We try to dig down to the ‘real’ Cindy Sherman, if that’s possible!SHOW NOTES: Charleston: https://www.charleston.org.uk/ A South London Makers Market: https://asouthlondonmakersmarket.co.uk/ Kate Emma Lee Ceramics: https://kateemmalee.com/ Mimi Dickson Paintings: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/mimidickson Harriet Shaw Rugs: https://www.instagram.com/harrietsayshi/?hl=en Doron Lamberg ‘Give Me Love' at Victoria Miro until 6 November 2021: https://online.victoria-miro.com/doron-langberg-london-2021/ Helen Frankenthaler ‘Radical Beauty’ at Dulwich Picture Gallery from 15 September 2021 - 18 April 2022: https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/2021/may/helen-frankenthaler-radical-beauty/ ‘Mixing it up: Painting Today’ at Hayward Gallery from 9 September to 12 December 2021: https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/art-exhibitions/mixing-it-painting-today Tacita Dean at Frith Street Gallery from 17 September to 30 October 2021: https://www.frithstreetgallery.com/exhibitions/tacita-dean-4 Phantoms of Surrealism at the Whitechapel Gallery, until 12 December 2021: https://www.whitechapelgallery.org/exhibitions/phantoms-of-surrealism/ Ben Crase: https://www.instagram.com/_gummy_beats_/?hl=en Jenna Gribbon: https://www.instagram.com/jennagribbon/?hl=en Ania Hobson: https://www.aniahobson.com/ 100 Contemporary Female Artists You Need to Know: https://www.marylynnbuchanan.com/blog/100-contemporary-female-artists-you-need-to-know-2021 Dame Elizabeth Blackadder: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/aug/25/dame-elizabeth-blackadder-obituaryChuck Close: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/aug/20/chuck-close-obituary Polish State Museum has put on an anti-cancel culture exhibition: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/warsaw-polish-islamophobic-swedish-jews-b1909742.htmlhttps://news.artnet.com/art-world/ujazdowski-castle-exhibition-2003364 Beyoncé and Jay-Z Pose with Long-Unseen Basquiat in Tiffany Campaign: https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/beyonce-jay-z-tiffany-basquiat-1234602125/ Cindy Sherman: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2011/jan/15/cindy-sherman-interview https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/jun/08/cindy-sherman-interview-exhibition-national-portrait-gallery
