Bill JacksonAccordion For as long as he can remember Bill has collected things; old fire extinguishers, stuffed toys, abandoned hair dryers, porcelain figurines, odd bits of metal. Scavenged from the hedgerows and kerbsides; they are the flotsam and jetsam of modern life. |

Bill JacksonPifco Bill's studio in Suffolk is crammed full of his discovered treasures, each one carefully labelled and stored in his museum of curios. The artefacts filling the shelves and cupboards are random. Each object has been chosen on a whim, a response to colour or shape or texture and most importantly its potential to be remade and refashioned into something else. The recent work "Relics" is a series of images of Bill's curios preserved by the camera as studies in his cabinet of curiosities. |

Bill JacksonFire Extinguisher In a final twist Bill presents each printed photograph as discreet objects themselves. His "Relics" are all framed within two pieces of glass mimicking the idea of dissection slides. The result is to turn the photograph into an object. |

We Recommend: Gerhard Richter at the TateIn his review of the Gerhard Richter's forthcoming retrospective at Tate Modern, Tom McCarthy effortlessly explains the mixture of complexity, knowing references and pure enjoyment of picture making that informs Richter's art. In a world, that as McCarthy states, describes art in binary oppositions: abstract versus figurative; conceptual versus craft based; painting versus photography, Richter reduces such polarized descriptions to rubble. Perhaps rather than seeking to find a convenient label for his work we should simply embrace the inclusive nature of Richter's work. His work is more about the idea of art and the impulse that informs it than the means he uses to express his ideas. Gerhard Richter: "Panorama" is at Tate Modern 6 October 2011 – 8 January 2012 |
