LITTLE BIG LINKS

My new show with Yuki Miyake, 'An eXhibition of SMALL things with BIG ideas' (opens 3 Dec 2-7 pm with Xmas drinks) attempts to uncover the maximal imaginary perspectives secreted in the minimally-sized works of some fifty participating artists. Each idea finds its form within an economical 37 x 37 cm, and is reflected in short texts by the artists. Come to look and read the artists’ own pithy summaries of their small and decidedly giftable works. 

But you can also click through to what I’ve written elsewhere about plenty of them. One of my more recent full texts is for Fiona G Roberts’ online show ‘It Always Rains in the Lakes’ at Alpeh Contemporary (to 31 Dec). My essay is at https://alephcontemporary.com/exhibitions/53-fiona-g-roberts-it-always-rains-in-the-text-by-paul-carey-kent/overview/. Masochists with stamina can read me on most of the artists in the show. Here are links to a sample:
