Mark Rothko

Abstract Expressionist Mark Rothko's awesome colourfield paintings are on show at the Tate Modern from 26th September 2008 to the 1st of February 2009. This is the first time the 'Tate's Rothko Room' works are to be reunited with Rothko's works in Japan. If you are a fan of amazing abstract work this is a definite must see!

T5 Is Working

This made us smile because the challenge to make T5 appear efficient is always going to be difficult and in some ways ironic. Just one question, who's taking the photos?

Made Up

MADE UP sees imagination (called ‘invention’ in the 18th century) as the dynamo of art. At the heart of this exhibition’s broad ranging exploration of ‘making things up’ (which includes utopias and dystopias, narrative fiction, fantasy, myths, lies, prophesies, subversion and spectacle) is the emotional charge which powers the artistic imagination. Whether mischievous, constructive or iconoclastic, MADE UP is about art’s capacity to transport us, to suspend disbelief and generate alternative realities.

In the States, it's more marketable to depict birds of prey fighting amongst themselves than to use a Kings Of Leon face/bird hybrid design. www.kingsofleon.com

Bond's Branding

It has become common knowledge in marketing that if you want to increase awareness (and sales) of your brand let James Bond do it for you. Whatever new gadgets and products James Bond uses next will always be hot off the shelves. Omega watches, Aston Martin, Smirnoff Bollinger and more recently Coke Zero, are all products that have benefited from featuring in a James Bond movie.
