		<title>japanese ending</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You say you&#8217;re Japanese, and you want to be an artist? Well then, I predict there are bright colours and bountiful circles in your future. It&#8217;s probably not relevant, but still, I&#8217;ve noticed lately that Japanese art, regardless of art movement, direction or starting point, embraces saturated, primary colours that are spun in geometric forms....&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/08/05/japanese-ending/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>found craft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing that gets up the common man&#8217;s nose more than the &#8220;found object&#8221;. Stick a random stash of household items together, call it &#8220;Untitled 17&#8243; and you can almost feel the money flow out of the public art fund. Since Duchamp first did it, the found object has symbolised the complete inability for artists...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/07/06/found-craft/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Building Chatter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Buildings occupy such a large part of our physical and emotional world, so it&#8217;s no surprise they&#8217;re used as symbols for modernism; good or bad. Films like Batman, Blade Runner, The Italian Job, or any romCom shot in New York, often use cityscapes to dramatise the story, issuing viewers with a visual clue for anticipated...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/07/01/building-chatter/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>photophobia found</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photography. What is it about the medium that puts fear in the hearts of artists and curators? You&#8217;d swear it&#8217;s the equivalent of a silver bullet to werewolves given the reasons why photography isn&#8217;t allowed in galleries. The backwards thinking of the art industry is one of self-destruction, with every opportunity to get the word...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/06/20/1108/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>clearly grim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Salt is an English photo-realism painter, but instead of pursuing perfection, he chooses to focus attention on the destructed. We could use more painters like John Salt on British television. Just think of the possibilities of a dented X Factor or post-apocalyptic Eurovision. Heavy gloss just doesn&#8217;t carry the day in moments of pay...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/06/14/clearly-grim/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>keeping up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you Google Huang Yong Ping + Bat Project, you&#8217;ll find news on Huang&#8217;s attempt to build and show a replica plane from a historical event, along with the news reports of the 2001 event itself. Funnily enough, you&#8217;ll also get the same data when you visit Huang&#8217;s work at the Nottingham Contemporary Gallery. It&#8217;s...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/05/16/keeping-up/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>miro&#8217;s shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For anyone planning a visit to London this summer, two bits of news. First, the weather is cooperating immensely here, with the sun and warm weather arriving alarmingly early. The locals are going mental because they know this means one thing: it&#8217;ll be chilled and raining from May through August. It&#8217;s like spiders before earthquakes...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/04/27/miros-shoes/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Boxed Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are light boxes sculptural, photographic, a combination of both, or a medium so little used there&#8217;s nowhere to put it? Liverpool&#8217;s Bluecoat Gallery is showing a Jyll Bradley survey of works, including units that are photographical, sign-like images that work best in the dark. She gets the idea from advertising light boxes, which of course...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/04/19/1073/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>marathon retrograde</title>

Chancing upon the line-up for Tate Modern in the next 18 months, I see five months of Saatchi showmanship will be placed firmly in front of international Olympic visitors in the form of a...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/04/08/marathon-retrograde/">read more</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Feeding the Nile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The elephant in the room is literally a thick-ish magazine called Elephant that&#8217;s been jammed amongst other publications in my apartment for the last three months. I&#8217;ve finally gotten around to reading/addressing this Elephant (Issue 5, Winter 2010/2011), and found two parts of the book seemingly at odds with one another; both attempting to answer...&#160;(<a href="http://www.contemporarymonkey.com/2011/04/06/feeding-the-nile/">read more</a>)]]></description>
