Viewing Rob and Nick Carter: Robot Paintings, Sud de la France

Saint-Paul de Vence has long been a mecca for artists, luring the likes of Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso with its Provencal charm, glorious sunshine and beautiful architecture. Following in their footsteps are Rob and Nick Carter, the husband and wife artist duo best known for their experimental projects fusing new technologies and traditional techniques across painting, photography, film, sculpture and robotics.

This bijou exhibition features new robot paintings made during their artist residency at De Buck Gallery in the South of France. The resulting works are inspired by their research visits to museums and local hotspots, including the Matisse Chapel and the Colombe d’Or, as well as the works of the modern masters associated with the Saint-Paul de Vence area.

You’ll find a series of full-colour robot paintings presented as mirror-image diptychs as well as five robot paintings inspired by Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. Also featured are new light works inspired by Matisse’s simple line drawings, which are available as limited-edition prints and as NFTs.

If you’re lucky enough to be soaking up the last of the summer sun in Provence this September, swing by the gallery before tucking into a glass of rosé al fresco.

Doing Carolee Schneemann: Body Politics

Experimental artist Carolee Schneemann is best known for her boundary-pushing work exploring the body politic. The first major exhibition in London dedicated to the radical feminist artist explores her diverse, transgressive and interdisciplinary work that addresses urgent issues such as sexual expression, gender, bodily taboos and women’s role in art and society.

Spanning six decades, it brings together over 300 paintings, sculptural assemblages, performance photographs, films and large-scale multimedia installations, as well as rarely seen archival material including scores, sketches, scrapbooks, programmes and costumes.

Highlights include the artist’s rarely seen early gestural paintings and her innovative works made using her own body, among them Up to and Including Her Limits (1976), for which she hung naked from a harness suspended in the corner of a paper-lined stage set.
Shown together, they reveal Schneemann to be one of the most trailblazing feminist artists of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Add to your September to-do list now.

Viewing The Story of Art as it’s Still Being Written

If you haven’t ordered Katy Hessel’s new book, The Story of Art without Men, do so now. Published by Hutchinson Heinemann, it champions pioneering women artists from the past 500 years who have so often been excluded from history books.
To celebrate its landmark publication, Victoria Miro presents a major exhibition based on the book’s final chapter, Still Writing the Story of Art. Curated by Hessel, it brings together a selection of artists who define the contemporary moment through their innovative visual language and embrace of urgent themes such as rewriting lost pasts, exploring historical truths and decolonialising art history.

Works by such celebrated names as Lisa Brice, Chantal Joffe and Tracey Emin will hang alongside paintings by risings stars including Flora Yukhnovich and Jadé Fadojutimi.

From London to New York via Nigeria and Japan, this is the history of art as it’s never been told before. Go and then flood your feed with these much-deserving works.
