6 d. ago Gilbert & George review – a pulsating panorama of sex, violence and glorious urban grime

Hayward Gallery, LondonFrom the calling cards of male sex workers to shocking headlines about murder, the octogenarian pair see and incorporate everything, resulting in a show that seethes with lifeThe first picture in Gilbert & George’s retrospective of their art of this century is a portrait of them sitting in a cemetery amid floating drug baggies, their suits bright purple (George) and green (Gilbert) against the grey gravestones. It sums up a stillness, a sadness and a romantic passion that breathes in this show – but you won’t notice it straight away. Instead you’ll be carried along in a rush of cheeky provocations and ludicrous juxtapositions of word and image: a joyous embrace of modern life or even, pardon my French, a jouissance.The pictures tower and expand in this perfect brutalist setting as if you’re walking through a city of art – a dirty, disreputable city. Ages (2001) is a yellow and red slab almost the scale of a cinema screen on which their blandly smiling face...

1 week ago Want to know the grotesque truth about the oil industry? Then look at their tacky paperweights

Tanoa Sasraku has been collecting – and creating her own – gaudy paperweights with a drop of crude oil encased within. All you need to know about global power games, the artist explains, is right thereIn her bright Glasgow studio, artist Tanoa Sasraku is showing me her collection of paperweights produced by oil companies. “I find them so alluring, almost like perfume bottles or snow globes, but so grotesque,” she explains as we handle the etched and sculpted objects, which each have a precious drop of crude oil at their centre. “They have these shiny, dazzling exteriors, but when you get close you see the death mulch inside. All presentations of power are fragile; they collapse once you get close enough.”Sasraku’s paperweights form the centrepiece of Morale Patch, her forthcoming solo exhibition at the ICA in London: a poetic interrogation of the role of oil in geopolitics and national identity. Drawn from oil-producing nations around the world, the tacky paperweights embody both th...

1 week ago Dress the part: London exhibition celebrates 60 years of film and TV period costumes

From Colin Firth’s wet shirt in Pride and Prejudice to Meryl Streep’s safari gear in Out of Africa, Cosprop’s outfits achieved cinematic realismWhen the costume designer John Bright founded the period costume house Cosprop in 1965, it was out of a desire to give the clothes seen in film and TV “a greater realism” than viewers had been used to previously. “I decided that if we made the stock as real as possible, it would be universal,” Bright says. “The truth is the truth for all times.”Over the intervening 60 years, that relatively simple mission led to the creation of some of the most notable costumes of all time: the Regency-era shirt that, once wet, turned Colin Firth into an instant heart-throb in 1995’s Pride and Prejudice; the safari gear worn by Meryl Streep in 1985’s Out of Africa, which ended up inspiring countless high-fashion runways; Johnny Depp’s dishevelled 1720s Pirates of the Caribbean suit, so artfully soiled that you can practically smell it through the screen.
