The Museum of Everything

Raw Vision urges readers not to miss one of the most monumental and critically-acclaimed installations in recent history. 

The Museum of Everything #7 celebrates over 120 artists and almost 2,000 objects in a series of dynamic thematic spaces at Australia’s legendary Museum of Old & New Art. 

An experience as much as an exhibition, The Museum of Everything #7 offers a radical rethink of outsiderism and an open invitation for new methodologies and associations. 

A limited edition double-volume by The Museum of Everything has been published to coincide with the 21st Sydney Biennale. To purchase a copy, email me@musevery.com. 

The Museum of Everything is a registered British charity. For more information on its projects, exhibitions and initiatives, please visit musevery.com.

Coordinated with the London Borough of Waltham Forest, the plaque was installed on 71 High Street, the building where Gill was born. The ceremony was led by curator Sophie Dutton and Mayor Yemi Osho. A large Madge Gill retrospective will be held in the borough next year.

Fountain House Gallery, NY

The six artists featured in "'About Face': Recent Portraits from Fountain House Gallery" make images that record the likeness of an individual. At the same time, they transform this process into a springboard for creative invention. Collectively they demonstrate that a portrait represents not simply an individual, but a complex encounter between an artist and their subject. As a special project for "About Face," more than 30 Fountain House Gallery artists have created self-portraits to be hung together in a group installation.

through April 6, 2018

"Alternative Visions: Fantasy Architecture" brings together the work of five artists, each with significantly distinct aims yet whose creative expressions nonetheless are unified by their architectural references. Four have had little if any expectation that their fantastical designs would actually be constructed; the fifth is a photographer who has spent years documenting the built environments of self-taught artist-architects. They include Alexander Brodsky, Ilya Utkin, Olalekan Jeyifous, Achilles G. Rizzoli and Fred Scruton.
