DCP are introducing the newest activity by Monika Waraxa and Kuba Budzynski of Let's Do it Together. Their activities take on open forms of artistic events based on audience activity. The engine for Let's Do it Together events is role swapping between artist(creator) and audience(receiver), which encourages audience to be more present in an art processing.
This time for Labeling Damien Hirst/possessing the Universe the activity is a processing comment on Damien Hirst`s work but also the way to spend some free time differently than usual. This is about trying something new or/and recreating what the great artists did or do. With that they aim to encourage as many people as possible to co-create new possibilities in social critic with the encouragement of Pulp Studio. How can you join?
Labelling Damian Hirst is open for anyone willing to participate and co-create it.

Art: ONANIA by Jan Manski at Rochelle School, 20 April - 5 May 2012. His work is genuinely disturbing and unsettling. The world into which we are drawn is simultaneously seductive and repellent but it repays scrutiny and its impact is substantial and lasting. This is one of the most original voices that I have come across in recent years (Robert Devereux. Click here for video.
Art: Marcin Maciejowski at Wilkinson Gallery. 27 April - 17 Jne 2012, Lower Gallery. This is Marcin Maciejowski's second solo exhibition at Wilkinson Gallery.
For this exhibition, Maciejowski has developed a group of paintings that continue to deal with the social environment of the art world and society at large and subsequent questions associated with his role within it.
Art: The Wolf Man: Graphic Freud – video
Writer Richard Appignanesi and artist Slawa Harasymowicz guide us though the fascinating subject of their latest graphic novel, The Wolf Man. Sergei Konstantinovitch Pankejeff was a Russian aristocrat best known for being a patient of Sigmund Freud, who gave him the pseudonym of wolf man, after a dream Pankejeff had of a tree full of white wolves.
Last year's New Contemporaries finalist, Zawistowski is an artist we should definitelly pay attention to. He works with landscapes as well as figures, though he tends to keep both aesthetically separate. This separation occurs because for him the landscapes evoke a feeling of otherness and a presence that is not seen. He evokes feeling through the materiality of paint. "If photography captures a moment and sculpture captures form, painting is a half way point between the two that lives on through time". Between 23 August - 2 September he will be showing as part of Subject to Change. Perspectives by UK based Polish Artists at the Kursaal Space in Southend on Sea. Now until June 2 he is showing at Canvas and Cream. His new series "HALO" comprises his first UK solo show.
Not to be missed.
