studio voltaire braces itself
August 13, 2008 3:33 pm

Michael Bracewell, that ravenous culture vulture, novelist, curator, art critic, and ubiquitous contributor to Britain’s broadsheets, has plucked 16 artists from the 250 members of Studio Voltaire to present their work in this year’s annual exhibition at the London gallery. With co-judge English punk performer Linder, Bracewell has selected artists who best express the ethos and potential of Studio Voltaire’s talent pool. Southwest London’s first and only artist-led gallery and studio complex, Studio Voltaire is housed in a former church and provides affordable studio space for artists working in all media. Among the work annointed by Linder and Bracewell for the summer show are Jeremy Glogan’s acrylic paintings on German plastic airport carrier bags, Alex Frost’s mosaics of brand logos, and Charlie Tweed’s sci-fi videos of dystopias that are even worse than the cultural wastelands Bracewell decries in his pop-criticism.
