THE FRANKS-SUSS COLLECTION

AT PHILLIPS de PURY & COMPANY AT THE SAATCHI GALLERY

Inspired by seeing the spectacle of dozens of tents given to the homeless and placed along the Canal Saint Martin in Paris, artist Cedric Christie decided to create a charity project that would echo this gesture. The tents in Paris had been donated by and set up by filmmaker Jean Luc Godard’s group, 'Children of Don Quixote' as a means of highlighting the plight of the homeless. They gained wide attention across Europe, and succeeded in placing the issue of homelessness at the top of France’s political agenda just prior to its presidential election.

Boo Ritson was among several artists commissioned to make a tent as part of an installation exhibited at this years Big Chill Festival. The tents are to be auctioned off later in the year to raise money for Amnesty and the Big Issue.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

Young Artists look at Old Masters

Curated by Mira Dimitrova and Mercier Kinney

Justin Coombes, Tom Gallant, Sigrid Holmwood, Barnaby Hosking, Graham Little, Marta Marce, Paul Morrison, Boo Ritson, Georgia Russell, William Stein, Alexis Marguerite Teplin, Richard Wathen, Mathew Weir and Douglas White alongside Francois Boucher, Pierre-Jacques Volaire, Anne- Louise Girodet-Trioson, Ary Scheffer, Cesare Dandini, Carlo Dolci and more.

Curated by Mira Dimitrova and Mercier Kinney, this exciting project will bring together the work of younger UK-based artists with that of major Old Masters, to investigate and expose the strong dialogue between the past and the present. There is a renewed concern amongst young contemporary artists to re-evaluate and explore concepts, methodologies and processes rooted in the work of Old Masters, precursors to their inherited tradition. Whether the engagement with their predecessors be via technical skill and craftsmanship, a shared symbolic language, or a common belief in the eternal sublimity in art, a current of historical reappraisal, which has been largely absent from the conceptual work in the contemporary art scene, is again emerging.
