Local Talent at the Berlin Art Show

Terry Duffy is leading a group exhibition 'British ART Salon' at the Berlin Art Show (or Forum or whatever) later this week and I see a few local names in the list. And, I believe Adam Nankervis of MuseumMan will have several works by Liverpool artists (including Colin Serjent and Sue Milburn) packed into his suitcase as he too heads for Berlin.
Meanwhile Duffy announces the closure of his London gallery
Here's the blurbs....

340 Old Street is now closed as a gallery/project space. It was an interesting 3 or 4 years but it is time to move on. The plan is European and the first place is Berlin. You will recognize some of the works being shown, new work will follow.

I will nevertheless be opening in October a more discreet project/research space just off Great Eastern Street.

British ART Salon

ARTISTS:Joe Bampton, Andrew Curry, Terry Duffy, Brandon Fix, Eric Hewitson, Neal Munro Peebles, Ritasays, David Stokes, Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney, Brian Williams

The British Salon, “land of hope and glory”, a show of controversial British art presented by der Erste Stock in Friedrichstrasse. Led by the artist Terry Duffy, this group of London based independents show work from the sublime to the controversial, from the subtle to the acerbic. Continuing their reputation for quality and controversy this show challenges what Duffy sees as “global uniformity and predictability”. This is a dynamic of how artists can function and communicate internationally.

British Salon includes “the pubic hair of Charles Saatchi” by Brandon Fix; the socio-political “Perverted Effigies” miniatures by Munro Peebles; the “Allegory” canvas’s criticising War in Iraq and the “Venus Conspiracy” life and death of Diana; the Holocaust as Tourism works by Williams and Duffy; the infamous “Voyeur project” including live performer “Ritasays” (star of Bad Girl and Stalking Amanda), disturbing dvd’s by Williams, female crucifixion by Gaynor Sweeny; fascinating useless (?) products by Stokes; the “Queen Mothers Swab” by the subversive Hewitson; amazing kinetics by Curry; minimal ultra-violet works by Joe Bampton and the unique, renowned abstracts by Duffy.

British Salon is no ordinary show, “no compromise”, says Duffy. This is British art pushing the boundaries, sheer temptation for collectors, adrenalin for artists, stress for critics and a joy for the public.

A creative tour de force that will be the buzz of the festival.
