nothing's happening-everything's happening

This is a strange period of time..
..I've been working on some stuff that I could call..ehm..researches and finding new-old stuff that I've lost my memories of...I've been absent on some of my works apparently, but in reality I've been working on them secretely..
So my projects are, obviously to keep on with new updates..soon are coming up on the other site, some new articles about the developing of the apocalyptic theme in Stanley's works and the other, about the explanation of the Gherkin (for those who've been wondering, like me, if it's really possible to be a giant vegetable around Thames!) . I don't know yet what's coming on first, but keep checking..
In the meantime I'm leaving you with the image of St. Mary's Axe...maybeyouknowwhy...
tschüß!!

about Occupational Hazard (Stanley Donwood's last exhibition of the year)

Since I have some problems with uploading photos on Stanleydonwoodart.blogspot.it, I will post the stuff here in the meantime, before understanding how to solve the uploading issue.
Well, I am just at home after a fantastic trip just to catch Occupational Hazard, which you probably know, was the last exhibition of this year by Stanley Donwood, and had its last day on 2nd December. The exhibition took place in the beautiful and colourful Brighton, at a very lovely and super interesting gallery, situated on North Road (96), and probably with the most welcoming, openminded, friendly and available gallerists I've ever met!
The exhibition contained so many of the well known pieces of art in the artist's carrier, rare works as well as some sold out works, the Goat Head was also there observing us from a high position, the 2 magnificent and magical Twisted Woods editions, the Golden Holaweg, the pop-art canvases upstairs and on the vetrina, Occupied Fortune, and the three dimensional Drawn in Woods and many many other. And obviously there were many new works for the occasion- new giclèe prints as Love Story, Scuffed Ink, Target Land, 1984, Patriotism and so on. These giclèe prints were a limited edition and were available only for the duration of the show.
There was also the work that brought the name of the exhibition- Occupational Hazard- represented on a plywood through acrylics.
And all was so beautiful and well...magical...we were immerged inside the world of art!
So here are some photos of the exhibition to feed your curiosity, but I advert you that the photos can not render the best all the atmosphere around, so if you've seen it you'll agree with me, if not- content yourself with the photos!
so here they  are:
