W+K Delhi Launches W+K Exp

The W+K office in India is opening the doors of 'W+K Exp' in Delhi on 1st November with an exhibition of works by Bharat Sikka.

The aim of W+K Exp is to make art accessible to everyone, whether a veteran collector looking for an original, or someone who is simply looking for a print for a wall at home.  Their endeavour is to create an experience that's shaped by a belief that art should be stripped of jargon and overloaded price tags, to be enjoyed on visitors' own terms.

Bharat Sikka's fashion photographs have been published in magazines all over the world – he is a frequent editorial contributor to Vogue India. His style is both humorous and dramatic, often using unconventional locations and unexpected points of view.  

The exhibition will run 'til 28th November – if you're in Delhi next month make sure you pop in!

This Is Why We Meet – Phase 2

Laura writes:

Following this summer's collaborative window project with the University of Arts, This Is Why We Meet moved to central London for Phase 2.  Wieden + Kennedy, with Pat and Trevor, have curated a show of new work from the This Is Why We Meet teams. Since the success of our window installations, we have decided to take the teams and ideas and unleash them on a new exciting space.  A disused shop in the heart of Covent Garden is our venue.  There are rumours that the space was at one time, Paul Smith's former HQ, battling counter-rumours that it used to be an S&M hairdressers.

Either way, we have secured the space for the next two weeks where we will be presenting artists from across the University of the Arts London once again.  Ideas have been taken, warped and furthered from the previous shows, making for a slightly less manic yet equally as inspired den of creativity.  The show includes kaleidoscopes, talking limbs, business plans, a greasy gym and a VERY dark and confusing room.

We held a private view on Monday 19th October which saw the space packed out with London's arteratti.
