London’s swanky Pied à Terre restaurant is notable for many reasons - namely the food, which has been the toast-of-the-town for twenty years, with a variety of gourmet dishes that are works of art (and taste) themselves. But some of the most unique culinary creations aren’t relegated only to the table: glance up at the walls, and you’ll see a month’s worth of fish dinners arranged into artful sculptures and installations adorning the dining room, and cleverly ensconced elsewhere throughout the venue. The staircase is lined with scallop corals, quail carcases embellish the walls of the upstairs bar, and those captivating white orbs arrayed on the skylight just happen to be sheep testicles.

Bill Bollinger @ the Fruitmarket Gallery
The Fruitmarket Gallery is proud to present this major exhibition of the work of American artist Bill Bollinger (1939–1988), one of the most important artists of the 1960s. A work of art historical rediscovery as well as an exhibition of great power and beauty, it brings an artist once mentioned in the same breath as Bruce Nauman, Robert Smithson, Eva Hesse and Fred Sandback back for serious reconsideration. more.........

Adrian Searle: 'It's confusing. But it's the Turner prize' – video
Hilary Lloyd's flickering screens, Karla Black's crumbling craftwork and Martin Boyce's wonky rubbish bin blend sculpture, video art and installation in a new and unsettling way –but it's the quiet poetry of George Shaw's don't-care England that rises above it all. Guardian art critic Adrian Searle passes his verdict on the Turner prize 2011Guardian
Art review: Turner Prize 2011, Baltic, Newcastle
This is a melancholy show, from Martin Boyce’s windswept library, in which a few leaves from his 2009 exhibition for the Scottish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale appear to have blown in with the draught, to George Shaw’s paintings of boarded-up shops. Film-maker Hilary Lloyd looks at the moon and Karla Black, who represented Scotland in Venice in 2011, has presented a beautiful room of painterly sculptures, which seem elegantly faded and purposefully tentative, as well as characteristically exuberant.

Apparatus 22

Wed Night Open Forum
Wed Night Open Forum
Mack
Lecture Theatre, The Glasgow School of Art
Free admission
As part of the GSA's Wednesday Night Open Forum series comes a night of
discussion on the work of Apparatus 22, a loose group of artists and
researchers interested in the 'critical potential of clothing and
fashion' and exploring long-term concerns about fashion's disposability.
Apparatus 22 was initiated in spring 2011
after a reconfiguration process of the cutting-edge fashion label Rozalb de
Mura (2006 – early 2011). Olah Gyarfas is a permanent guest of the collective.
The group explore the crossovers between art, design and fashion, focusing on
themes such as the critical potential of clothing and fashion, the long-term
concerns about fashion's disposability, mixing fiction with reality, and
blurring the lines between genders. Apparatus 22 often stage work as
performances or art installations.

Karla Black In Focus
A closer look at Turner Prize 2011 nominee Karla Black
Although
officially dubbed a sculptor, Black’s exhibited work seems to defy
classification, simultaneously occupying the regions of painting,
sculpture, and performance. Upon passing through a maze of fragile
polythene and paint-cracked curtains, the viewer is met with a
monumental mountain range constructed out of crumpled sugar paper that
fills the room. These contours are sensually coloured in pastel hues. ArtLyst

S v EA It’s art, not sport – no-one should win, says prize favourite
THE Scottish artist whose soaring career has turned her into a
favourite for Britain’s biggest art prize said yesterday she would “go
away and hide” if she won. Sculptor Karla Black claimed that
forcing nominated artists to compete with one another for the Turner
Prize ruined their work by treating it like sport, and said she didn’t
believe any artist should be chosen as winner. Scotsman

Seven-strong art-rock group Muscles of Joy - interview
The phrase ‘art-rock’ is a much-abused one, but in this case it seems
appropriate. Each of the seven members of all-female Glasgow group Muscles of Joy
is a practicing visual artist in their day jobs, most having previously
attended Glasgow School of Art, and their sound is not what you might
call unadventurous. While there’s a certain punk-rock rawness there, a
lot of their songs are characterised by tonal experiments and playful
vocal and musical motifs which straddle the boundary between the
viscerally accessible and the avant-garde. List

Glasgow's Turner connection
This week, the work of all four shortlisted artists goes on show at the Baltic, Gateshead – and two are Glaswegian: Martin Boyce (EA), whose sculptures do fearful things with modernist interior design; and Karla Black (S), who uses lipstick, pastel-coloured candles, eyeshadow and sugar paper as her materials. Artists based or born in the city who have been shortlisted in the recent past include Jim Lambie (EA), Christine Borland (SEA), Cathy Wilkes(S), Lucy Skaer (EA) and Nathan Coley(EA).
