The final days of Nowhere Island
After a year at sea, Alex Hartley's Nowhereisland completes its journey, from Arctic island to visiting nation. The simple narrative premise – the journey of a small island from an Arctic archipelago as a migrant nation during the London 2012 Games – has acted as this new nation’s emblematic back-story inspiring over 21,000 global citizens.

Art of Change
-Image-2,-Photo-Linda-Nylind.jpg)
Since Ai Wei Wei’s detainment in 2011, the international arts community has been looking for a way to understand better the spirit of dissent and antagonistic non-traditionalism that seems to characterise contemporary Chinese art. In an attempt to locate these strands in a shifting socio-political climate, the Hayward Gallery and the Southbank Centre, ever keen to engage with transience and change in their artistic programme (I'm thinking here of the thematic festivals that form the backbone of the Centre's annual offering), have opened the first major exhibition to focus solely on contemporary performance and installation art from China.

Jerwood Drawing Prize 2012
There is a fashion for serious art prizes to be the preserve of students and graduates of art schools. Francis Bacon, for one, could never have been anointed a New Contemporary. But if he had drawn ‚ a practice he famously disavowed‚ the Jerwood Drawing Prize might have lain within his grasp...

Nothing Like Something Happens Anywhere
Taking its title from a line in Philip Larkin’s ‘I Remember I Remember’ this exhibition explored the meaningfulness of ‘events’ in our lives, as opposed to the unadorned fact of ‘living’. The work explored the nearly imperceptible evolutions in everyday life; the slow history that lies beneath the surface of culture and contrasts with the highpaced changes dominating the surface.

Counter-Production
In the wake of technological and economic transformation during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the image of artistic production has undergone major changes. In view of the inner constraints of a reality framed according to post-Fordism with its insistence on efficiency, flexibility, and intelligent self-management? To what extent and in what ways do artists participate in and confront contemporary conditions of global production and capital?
