The tumultuous outcome being the cutting off of van Gogh's ear...

Henry Hudson in group show 'The Embassy'
Henry Hudson will be in a group show curated by Xerxes Cook and Alex Dellal as part of their exhibition opening during Frieze week. The Embassy tells the story of a deposed diplomat representing a government that has just been overthrown at home. A pastiche of the manner in which embassies promote their country's culture abroad and set across the two floors of 33 Portland Place, works from over 15 artists will speak of themes relevant to the mismanagement of a country - greed, egotism, repression, theocracy, malnutrition, gluttony, tyranny, currency, geography and sex - because the dictator always gets the best lines.
The Embassy will take place from 15-19th October 2009

To mark the closing of Henry Hudson's solo show at Trolley, we invited John Carroll from the Sir John Soane Museum to talk about the exhibition in relation to the original Hogarth painting series 'The Rake's Progress' which is housed at the John Soane. Compared to artists like Sir Joshua Reynolds, Hogarth wasn't terribly prolific, and as such the dozen or so paintings at the John Soane, is the largest collection of Hogarth's in the world...
At the closing night of Henry Hudson's 'Knappin' exhibition at Trolley Gallery (directors Gigi Gianuzzi and Hannah Watson are such a pair of cards that they seem to be throwing both opening- and closing-night jollies for all of their shows), John Carroll, a fine William Hogarth specialist from the Sir John Soames Museum, came to tea. Each of Hudson's ten panels are opulently painted in melted plasticine and all are amplified details of the etchings of Hogarth's Rake's or Harlot's Progress, from the 1730s. Hudson has updated the Hogarth works - thankfully only subtly - with wine stains, modern-day cigarettes, canvas tacks and crumbling plaster.
YBA Keith Coventry and Elliot McDonald, curator of the Hiscox Art Fund and the Sudeley Castle shows, were part of the gin-and-raspberry-swilling audience. Carroll posited that Hogarth was 'the first Damien Hirst,' having made multiple copies of his copperplate engravings and sold them from the window of his studio in Leicester Square, thus 'freeing himself from aristocratic approval' and creatively restrictive portrait commissions. Someone's mobile telephone then bleated out the Moonlight Sonata ringtone. 'This has now officially become a BBC2 documentary,'said Coventry, perhaps pining for the dissolution of those former days when he had a studio in the prestigious Albany apartments, site of several late-night portrait painting parties.

On the 19-06-08 David Rickard spent a 24-hour period breathing out his exhaled air, via a respiratory mask, into a series of large silver foil balloons. The final arrangement of balloons demonstrated consumed space in the form of a long vapour trail of balloons that rose up the three floors in the stairwell of the Goethe Institute, London. The performance demonstrated our daily consumption of fresh air, and in a quantifiable manner revealed our constant demand for fresh air and our active relationship with the space that surrounds us.

M.A.S.H I.R.A.Q. exhibition opens at Goethe Institute, New York
M.A.S.H I.R.A.Q. exhibition opens at Goethe Institute, New York
May 4th - June 30th
In cooperation with Magnum Photos the Goethe-Institute, New York, presents the exhibition M*A*S*H, which is part of the MAGNUM Festival 2007. The festival celebrates the 60th anniversary of Magnum Photos, one of the world’s premiere photo agencies. The MAGNUM Festival '07 will take place in New York throughout June and explores the idea of documentary works in the areas of photography, film, and journalism, including panel discussions at the New York Public Library, gallery exhibitions, and screenings of documentaries "by or about" Magnum photographers at the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
“If it weren’t for the war, we’d all be having a great time.” Taken from the series M*A*S*H, 1970.
First seen in the early 1970’s at the height of anti-Vietnam feeling in America, the original series M*A*S*H followed a hapless US medical corps stationed out in the preceding Korean war. Here underlay a dark commentary throughout its comedy. As the US Military continue to fight onwards in Iraq, doctors, nurses and medics are working on the front lines to keep their casualties down. Magnum Photographer Thomas Dworzak was with them, embedded with the 44th Medcoms 50th and 1150th Medical Companies in Iraq over several periods in 2005.
Taking the lead from the satirical commentary first provided by the film and subsequent series of M*A*S*H, this book juxtaposes images from the series with Dworzak’s own from his time with the medical companies he was stationed with out in Iraq.
From mess tents to surgical tables, the story of everyday life behind the scenes of these medical corps shows at times a pathos and comradeship alongside the expected blood and suffering. The accompanying stills and subtitled images from M*A*S*H bring Dworzak’s photographs out of the realm of the purely photojournalistic, and instead poignantly provide a black humour for a disenchanted audience of the modern world, and a comment on the concept of photographers today working embedded and alongside the military.
Author/Photographer Details:
Thomas Dworzak was born in1972 in Koetzting and grew up in the small town of Cham in Bavaria. In 2002 he became a Magnum nominee, in 2004 a member. He is based in Paris and New York and contributes to Time Magazine, Newsweek, The New Yorker, US News, Paris Match and The New York Times Magazine.
The book published by Trolley M.A.S.H I.R.A.Q by Thomas Dworzak will be released in June 2007.

Abigail Fallis - "Beauty and the Beast‘ at Stourhead
Abigail Fallis's sculpture Quo Vadis is currently part of the exhibition Beauty and the Beast set in the grounds of the National Trust's Stourhead. The concept of the exhibition is to juxtapose alongside the beauty of the grounds the beast of contemporary art, and see how they interact. Fallis's new work here is reminiscent of her recent solo show at Trolley Gallery, where she produced a smaller sized series of Papier-mache hands for her installation The Fast Supper, based on Da Vinci's famous Last Supper. Fallis is currently exhibiting in Newcastle and Paris and will be part of Trolley's stand at The Zoo Art Fair this October.
Reconstruction #1 at Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire

Two of the artists who had solo shows at Trolley Gallery in 2005 were among the ten artists chosen by Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst to create work to be shown in and around the grounds of her family home, Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire. Artists showing included Benedetto Pietromarchi - who carefully constructed sculptures of filament in glass like giant light bulbs. Shown in the darkened space of the old dungeons, they create the effect of candlelight.
