Exciting News from the Oxmarket!

Got a call from Sophie at the Oxmarket saying a slot had become available for Joel to exhibit at the end of May! Fantastic ! So I checked with Joel and we confirmed the booking  that day . Its for two weeks but we may just take it for one week as its around £260 a week for the Wilson room.
Barbara thinks a week will be fine and then take it to Artspace in Portsmouth and possibley The Sugar Lounge in Petworth?

We had a lovely day wandering round Arundel  popping into the Zimmer-Stuart Gallery ,James was taking down an exhibition of the New Forest , which we thought was possibly Newzealand , it was so lush and almost tropical, to put up the Christmas show

Some lovely landscapes and I especially liked the iconic portraits on board. The Sculptures are heaven too there are 3 little figs on a slab which I could easily fit into my house ! they're on the Christmas list. On our way home we swung by Thandi and Cliff Charles at Goodwoood and Cliff took Joel into his studio to show him what he's been working on. He flew in from New York the day before and is off to South Africa tomorrow for another residency . Born: 1964 Country: South Africa Johannesburg based artist Clifford Charles' evocative ink drawings, chart new visual and physical spaces in post-apartheid South Africa bearing witness to the slippage, multiple layers and forgetfulness in the lived experience of postcolonial Africa. Charles was the first black student to graduate with a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Witwatersrand, during apartheid South Africa. As one of the earliest members of the Afrika Cultural Centre, he also worked for fifteen years as an ‘artist/activist' in unions, hospitals and other social institutions. He exhibited in the 2003 Venice Biennale and his work is held in both public and private collections. Cliff produced the most wonderful lunch out of nowhere ! and we sat by the fire sipping soup and eating pizza and sushi ! Thandi and I call him the feeder  , and today was no exception !!When he returns from S. Africa he and Joel plan to get together ...and see what happens ! watch this space ....
