Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by Baby Dave on Oct 28, 2011 22:45:40 GMT 1, I'm having a mini nightmare uploading pics for some reason....I give up. You all get the gist though. If you do want to see my pics, for whatever reason, they'll be up on my Flickr this weekend

Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by Deleted on Oct 29, 2011 0:31:22 GMT 1, I feel a comment needs to made regarding the Dale Marshall framing.. As with all Dale's work, there is always more than meets the eye.. he doesn't work just for the aesthetically pleasing. The collection was called 'In Section' If you know Dale as an artist he paints a personal story. The framing contributes to this.. in section, behind glass, confined. No room to breath.. beauty within. Maybe think of the framing as a piece of sculpture.. adapting to a modern gallery space.
Incredible gallery space and evening.. !
Would of liked to of bumped into a couple of faces on here, but it was just stupid busy. Congrats Rook and Raven, your looking an exciting, fresh gallery for central London.

Many thanks for the insight into the framing. Some really nice work by Dale again and one of best still available imo!

Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by jusdeep on Oct 29, 2011 8:21:20 GMT 1, Thanks for the insight. Although personally I feel the fact that the canvas were section framed with the centre divide would have surficed. Just my opinion of course but feel that this alone would have lent itself to the 'In Section title'.
I did find a lot of the framing, or rather glassing at the show perplexing. I really didn't think the Penny pieces worked using non reflective glass/perspex. To me Penny's work is so fine and intricate that using this method of framing made his smaller work hard to view and in general it makes works look like bad reproductions (obviously not). Giving the art a blurry effect, losing detail - almost as if the glass is covered with a film of oil or just needs a good clean. Great show and space though.

Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by craigf on Oct 30, 2011 10:17:22 GMT 1, Jusdeep, just picking up on your point re framing. Do you think standard UV glass would have been better / the way to go? I'm having a couple of his larger pieces framed at the moment and caught the museum glass bug a few years ago, I hate reflection!

I don't have a problem with museum glass (some pieces definitely warrant spending the extra money), it's just with non reflective perspex. I personally find it doesn't lend itself to smaller pieces like Penny's notes. You lose a lot of clarity. You will possibly see what I mean when you visit the gallery or it won't be something that bothers you.

Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by craigf on Oct 30, 2011 11:04:54 GMT 1, Cheers Jusdeep, I'm not keen on Perspex generally although I appreciate for some larger pieces it's the best option. On smaller pieces museum glass isn't a lot more and IMHO is the way to go

I hate hate hate the way "non-reflective" looks. Terrible mat/gloss look.
