Curated Culture

                                    

Right now, if you are lucky enough to be in London you'd be mad to miss the amazing Susan Hiller exhibitions. Her work is currently being shown at the Tate Britain and the Timothy Taylor Gallery respectively and explores the process of collecting, cataloguing, and transforming cultural artefacts as a means of exploring the mind. Particularly interesting to us were the assembled postcard images made in the 1970s and the more recent and brilliantly surreal audio-sculpture, Witness.

Market Research!

After the amazing success of our iD article we felt it was about time we conducted some market research. All these photographs are from our most recent and super inspiring research trip which included loads of visits to markets in the South of France.

An i-ntroduction from i-D Online

We are super excited that MON has been featured by i-D this week. A big thank you to Leanne Cloudsdale for the text and of course John Ross for the photographs. www.i-donline.com

Blue Skys Ahead

A warm welcome to the New Year. After many days of rain in St Tropez the blue sky has finally returned to welcome in 2011. The intensity and dramatic display of coulour are a wonderfully inspiring start to the new year. Is is no wonder the likes of Picasso and Matisse chose to work in the South of France, you can't help but want to capture the illuminated landscapes.

Merry Christmas!!!

The Mon team wish you all a very happy Christmas and we hope you are having an indulgent time, with lots of laughing, feasting and merriment. We certainly are!

All we want for Christmas...

We LOVE David Shrigley

After being reacquainted with David Shrigley's work at this years Frieze Art Fair we are more in love than ever. The Glasgow based artists work is funny, in the darkest sense of the word and some of his new sculptures and water coulours are positively brilliant. His new book is a must for anyone who wants to look at things from the oddest of viewpoints! www.davidshrigley.com
