Candida Powell-Williams will be exhibiting at Wheatley Garden. There are few young artists that come so highly recommended by their fellow students like Candida. She just finished her BA at Slade (the picture shows one of her degree works) and is now studying the the Royal College of Art.

We discussed what Candida will show in June, and I am thrilled by it. But it will be a surprise and everybody else just has to wait until all is revealed.

Very generously the owners of Wheatley Manor are allowing us to set a sculpture exhibition in the large beautiful garden. The 1½-acre garden of the Elizabethan manor house (built in 1601) is a perfect setting for - as we think - really really exciting emerging art,  pieces that redefine the idea of sculpture, pieces that use new surprising materials, and pieces that impress with creativity.

The exhibition will take place during the "Open Garden" event from the 12th to 14th of June.

I was invited to take part in the BBC Oxford Programme "Jo in the afternoon".

Garden Art. The Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig has invited to the annual "Rundgang", the highlight of all exhibitions at the Academy during the year. From basement to gallery and atrium up to the studios under the roof... the whole Academy becomes a stage. Nearly all students are presenting pieces of their work.

The Academie got a very good reputation for still allowing students to work in a relative curriculum free environment. Just being nutured by professors like Neo Rauch. The pictured sculpture of flower pots was probably not the best work I saw, but the one that made me smile most.

We are very busy organizing a sculpture show in May: "Found Treasures". The aim is to show exciting new works by new contemporary emerging artists - not so much the polished marble pieces but more edgy provocative works.
