HOT-ONE-HUNDRED
Schwartz Gallery
London
Private view: Wednesday 17th July 6 -10 p.m
Exhibition dates: 17/07/13 – 03/08/13
Summer Opening Hours: Thursday – Saturday 12 – 6 p.m
First Thursdays late opening: Thursday 1st August, 6 – 9 pm
HOT-ONE-HUNDRED is a show of 100 emerging contemporary artists based in the U.K. One artist will be offered a solo show at Schwartz Gallery at the end of 2013 at the end of the exhibition. Following an Open Call format the 100 artists and the subsequent solo-show artist will be selected by Ismail Erbil and Patrick Michalopoulos, artist-curators of Schwartz Gallery, one of the largest and longest-running of the current crop of artist-run spaces in London. A reference to ranking systems seen in late-night popular music T.V programmes and art world power lists the exhibition creates a ‘HOT-ONE-HUNDRED moment’ in the emerging U.K contemporary art scene offering up a very real opportunity for a solo show in the gallery. Playfully mimicking the creation of power lists in the worlds of art, entertainment and business HOT-ONE-HUNDRED satirises this ‘heat’ phenomenon while simultaneously becoming an agent for its proliferation.
Conceived and curated by Ismail Erbil & Patrick Michalopoulos
Bankley artist, Claire Tindale is one of those featured in the exhibition, visit website for the full list.

Bankley has expanded - sort of!
We had been invited by the Levenshulme Art Action Group to paint one of the temporary 8 shop designs on hoardings on the A6 in Levenshulme.
The theme was inspired by a gallery space filled with people for a preview event, with member's art work in the window. Information and a map is also pointing people to the studios just down the road.
Other local artists have done shop designs filled with sweets, flowers, fish, shops from the past, the A6 road, Hats for Cats and a design inspired by the Grand cinema which used to stand on that spot.
Artists involved in Bankley's Gallery Shop:
Clair Graubner
Marnie Matthews
Philip Kennedy
Stacey Coughlin

If Not Here Where
FletcherMossArtGallery
Didsbury Parsonage
Monday 8th July – Sunday 21st July 12.00 -4.00pm
Preview: Sunday 7th July 1.00 - 5.00pm
As the Manchester International Festival descends upon the city centre, in the leafy suburbs of Didsbury a smaller but no less significant event unfolds. 'If Not Here Where', is a contemporary art exhibition with a difference. In the walled garden of Didsbury Parsonage, perhaps Manchester's best kept secret, a Garden Party in conjunction with Didsbury Parsonage Trust and Friends of Fletcher Moss Park and Parsonage Gardens, launches the event on July 7th. If Not Here...Where else would you wish to be? Art celebrating life.

Fantasista
‘The Playmaker’
An Exhibition of Football in Contemporary Art
Thurs 11- Sat 13 July, 10am - 6pm - Sun 14 July 10am-5pm
PRESS PREVIEW: Thurs 11 July 5.30 - 6.30pm
OPENING NIGHT: Thurs 11 July 6.30 – 10pm
The Cello Factory, 33-34 Cornwall Road, Waterloo, London SE1 8TJ
QUIET BRITISH ACCENT | SIR PETER BLAKE | STANLEY CHOW | JEANNETTE EHLERS | THOMAS GODDARD | VICTORIA HALL | HAARALA HAMILTON | PHILIP KENNEDY | PRAVDOLIUB IVANOV | MOIRA LOVELL | OTTO LI | ZORAN LUCIC | JACOPO MAINO | DAVE MERREL | EZEQUIEL SURANYI | RICHARD SWARBRICK | PHILIP WATKINS | STEVE WELSH
Seemingly worlds apart, the domains of art and football rarely have a chance to collide. ‘Fantasista’ aims to explore some of the similarities between these apparently disparate realms. Most striking is the inexplicable and unrelenting passion, bordering on obsession; followers have for these respective worlds. Most interesting of all is this unwaning passion often without tangible reward for the majority of players, fans, artists and art lovers who indulge their passions.
Much like the art world, football can seem as a closed club to many, the inflated salary of the premiership footballer comparable to the astronomical prices of deceased and living artists at auction houses are luxuries most find it difficult to relate to. But for artists and footballers alike great struggles, skill and sacrifice precede any success, and for many who dedicate their lives to either discipline tangible rewards are rarely seen at all.
Fantasista is the brainchild of Richard Swarbrick, animator and football fanatic, whose signature style highlights the poetry of football, and explores the relationship between sport and art on a wider scale. Swarbrick has teamed up with Hotspur & Argyle and Bearspace to deliver a dynamic event, which aims to promote this little explored but highly productive symbiosis.
