Royal Mails tribute to David Bowie

For anyone outside of the UK (and there are a lot of us), take a look at these special David Bowie stamps. OMG it's already over a year ago since he passed away. Time flies. I like the part of the vinyl peeping out.

All six of them only for 11.30 UK Pounds.

Gilbert & George

"One of the art world's most enigmatic characters, Gilbert & George have kept us entertained for over forty years. Crane.tv visited the pair at White Cube Bermondsey to talk about their political leanings, what happiness means and their latest exhibition, London Pictures, which showcases 292 pictures based on 3,712 newspaper bills they've pilfered over the past six years from selected newsagents in east and north London."

IOCOSE 'Sunflower Seeds on Sunflower Seeds'

"IOCOSE exhibits a new artwork at Tate Modern, made from a previous artwork at Tate Modern.

The artist group has thrown several real sunflower seeds on Ai Weiwei's porcelain 'Sunflower Seeds'. The porcelain seeds, previously exhibited at the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern, are now part of a new artwork by IOCOSE.

The new artwork looks exactly the same as the previous one, as the natural seeds and those made of porcelain are indistinguishable from each other. IOCOSE reclaims the authorship of the new installation and reminds viewers of Ai Weiwei’s previous statement: 'what you see is not what you see, and what you see is not what it means'.

The artwork will be on exhibition from the 29th of January 2011 until the 2nd of May 2011."
