#balticart

workshop / (web stream) performance @ Sound Days : http://sound.mplab.lv/

I've wanted this book since the exhibition at @balticgateshead six and a half years ago and Jim Shaw's thrift store paintings exhibition at @baltic39newcastle which ran at the same time and which my mum loved. They're among the Baltic exhibitions I've most enjoyed and the book doesn't disappoint. Shaw's art is magnificent and packed with wit, popular culture references, unpopular culture references, beauty and sometimes necessary ugliness. Whatever those words mean. Can pictures be ugly or is ugliness a subjective judgement from the onlooker? Unless the pictures promote prejudice, which is ugly. Today I learn Baltic will have a @judy.chicago exhibition soon. More art excitement, and #feminism excitement too. #Baltic #balticmill #balticart #art #artbook #book #bookcover #bookstagram #bookrecommendation #booklover #selfieoftheday #selfie #excitement #pleased #selfiequeen #artforall #bookcovers #beautifulbooks #modernart (at Newcastle upon Tyne) https://www.instagram.com/p/B00upYXAHy8/?igshid=rktyx5ej7tjm
