*Following
an inspired performance by them at the recent Britishness
discussion at Tate. If one of them is required to provide
moments of heightened gravitas/deliver a package to Mrs.
Goggins, the other can be relied upon to stand firm at the
helm and steer the ship through the rocky waters of contemporary
art criticism and commentary.E.g.
Floor:
"Which living person most symbolises modern Britain?"
Gormley:
"Tricky"

My
Showbiz Life
(04.November 03)

We'd
like to send out an apology to all 2679 curators at
the Tate who missed the last ArtRumours because of
the IT department's newly installed porn filter. We
promise not to use too many rude words again. But
hey, perhaps IT should take a peek at Tate Britain.
Two plastic dummies enthusiastically fellating each
other - a fine allegory for the Tate and White Cube…
Hasn't
it been a busy month? With at least three or parties
a night, ArtRumours has been so in demand at an endless
stream of brunches and launches that we feel almost
like a celebrity. It seems only right, therefore,
that this edition of ArtRumours is modelled on a more
highbrow publication, the nation's number one bestselling
favourite, HEAT. d...

SWAP
SHOP
(02.October 03)
|
|
Venetian
fashion icon and it-girl Darren Fluke has appointed himself
director of contemporary art at Enwistle after inviting
and fighting off no other applicants for the job. Modern
Art has reportedly hired a priest to exorcise the demons
occupying their new premises on Vyner Street, formerly the
jinxed home of Nylon. Anthony Wilkinson has changed his
name to Amanda and renamed his gallery after a hardware
outlet. Artist, theorist and kick-boxer Keith Tyson has
abandoned the beleagured Anthony Reynolds, not one year
after winning the Turner Prize; Reynolds is reportedly reeling
with déjà vu. !.

BIG
SPACE OPENS ON RIVER
(25.March
03)
|
| Yes!
Wait for it! It's the Musee de Saatchi just about
to open! He's even done a couple of interviews,
bless his cotton-rich socks. But wait! Are evil
things afoot? Whilst sticking up one of Hirst's
monuments, 50 dead pigeons secreted behind a chandelier
fell on their heads. Chance? Coincidence? Full

GOING
DOWN FURTHER
(25.March 03)
|
|
The
commercial scene is up and down like a yo-yo. If you
want to know the ins and outs, don't bother with us,
read something like The Art Newspaper or harass Louisa
Buck for some info. As far as we can gather it's the
usual swings and roundabouts though: Jari Lager from
VTO has ruthlessly deposed Sharon Essor and now Essor
Gallery is called something else - but alas not the
Lager Gallery. Full

Days
of Thunder
(25.March 03)
|
|
Before
co-curating Days Like These, Jonathan Watkins curated The
Sydney Biennale which he imaginatively titled 'Everyday'.
Watkins, 74, hasn't been approached to confirm what his
next show will be called but we're sure he'd appreciate
suggestions being sent to him at the Ikon. Full

GET
OVER THAT PERT ARSE
(25.March 03)
|
|
Similarly
heartbroken, but not crushed, James Gooding is turning
to art for solace following his recent stormy break-up
with Kylie. BBC3 has given the go-ahead for a series
to be screened in the autumn where the lovely James
goes round the world being taught about various art
worlds by fabulous and gorgeous art folk.

Grayson
Perry has upped skirts and moved to Victoria Miro
Gallery which at openings there will be at least two
people wearing inappropriate dresses at the Wharf
Road premises (you know who we mean, Victoria Miro
people. We've seen you!)

Hope
springs eternal with the opening of new spaces - the
opening of Carl Freedman's new gallery, counter, drew
the crowds with its splendid opening and accompanying
party at the increasingly lovely Rivington Bar Grill
Diner Deli Gym Sauna Jacuzzi. There were mini-burgers
and daquiri type things. Freedman's brow remained
impressively furrowed all night... Full

| FRIEZE
ART FAIR NOT ONLY ONE IN TOWN! |
| Whispers
in the East End suggest that an alternative art fair
based around car racing is to vie with frieze's art
fair, although reports that it will be called 'anti-freeze'
are unconfirmed. Meanwhile those groovy folk at frieze
are planning on music nights to liven proceedings up.
And rumours abound that the secret dinner that took
place last Saturday to decide who was in and who was
out descended into throwing darts and cut-outs of various
gallery-owners, with Nicholas Logsdail counting as a
'double top'.
