The undisputed giant of English pantomime, Kenneth Alan Taylor will don his frock of questionable taste for one last time as he stars in this year's Nottingham Playhouse panto. It was in 1983 when the dame of all dames first squeezed into an over-tight corset, slapped on the rouge and exploded on to the stage for his very first appearance, with Jack and The Beanstalk. Thirty years later he has decided to hang up his unfeasibly large bra but not before one final outing as Dame Daisy in the eagerly awaited Nottingham Christmas show with which it all began.
Beginning 6 September 2013, Hauser & Wirth New York will present 'Something Ancient, Something New, Something Stolen, Something Blue', an exhibition devoted to Matthew Day Jackson's latest explorations. Comprising major new paintings, sculptures, and installations, the exhibition will be on view through 19 October at the gallery's downtown venue at 511 West 18th Street.
Artist Matthew Day Jackson is a modern day American frontiersman. His interdisciplinary practice is in an all-consuming campaign to chart the outermost limits of human physical experience and to locate the place just beyond those limits where the sublime might reside. Working with a set of signature themes that range from space exploration and war machinery to advanced anatomy, he uses both traditional craft techniques and cutting edge computer mapping to make art that exposes the layered and often dark relationships between technology's abstractions and the palpable effects of time. For Jackson, the measurable and the inexplicable, power and sacrifice, mortality and the infinite are all part of a realm he has dubbed 'the Horriful', where everything we do has the potential to create both horror and beauty. 'The unobtainable distance, no matter how small, is an infinity,' Jackson has said. 'Artists go to that space. It is a space where others cannot or do not want to go, a space which is real and often dangerous, and they report back from there'.
An installation of steel wire and transparent orbits transforms the wide open space under the dome-shaped glass ceiling of Düsseldorf's K21 museum into a surreal landscape reminiscent of a sea of clouds. The installation called 'in orbit' by artist Tomás Saraceno creates three different levels. Brave visitors are invited to access the installation and move across the nets and in and out of spheres. Their movements cause vibrations - like in a spider web - which, combined with the lofty heights, create a fascinating spatial experience. The installation is now open and currently planned to remain on display until Fall 2014.

STRANGE RAIN follows two reporters as they try to unravel the mystery of a prolonged rain with the aid of lesbian psychics, comic meteorologists, a street-kid poet, and a mysterious man who talks of UFOs and secret experiments in the desert, all leading back decades to the real-life experiments of Wilhelm Reich in the 1950s. The story, though, is not so much about Reich as about deciding what is real and making peace with a difficult past. There are several love stories-central, a boy's love for his father.
