I've made a book cover for Dimitri Verhulst's book The Misfortunates. It's the first commissioned book cover that I've done and the book is great - it reads like a Belgian version of Shameless, but with more heart. The installation wasn't left on the street like I usually would as I had to shoot a few versions of the cover, but fear not - I am in Antwerp in May, where these little alcoholics will be abandoned to their fates in their homeland. You can check out the book here.

I am taking part in The Courtauld Institute of Art's East Wing X: Material Matters show. This opens from the 21th January at the Institute in Somerset House in London - but being a working college it is only open to the public on the last Saturday of each month. If you want to catch the show though, it runs until June 2013, which should give you plenty of opportunity. I have a mix of older and newer work in the show, including the image above, taken near Somerset house at the end of last year. You can also see work by War Boutique, Laura Keeble, Gabriel Dawe, Paula Rego, Damien Hirst, Simon Edmonson and over 30 other artists. My work is downstairs in the cafe, so if you get there early you can probably grab a fry-up too. Find more info here.

]]> http://www.slinkachu.com/news_item?id=12 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200 New book anouncement I am currently ramping up for my new show, Global Model Village, which opens September 27th at Andipa Gallery in London and features a mix of installations placed in different cities around the world over the past couple of years.

The show coincides with the launch of my new book - incidentally also called Global Model Village (can you see a pattern here?), which comes out the same day in the UK from Boxtree Macmillan and in the USA from Blue Rider Press. Continuing the international theme, the book will also be released in Germany, from Cadeau / Hoffmann Und Campe, under the title Kleine Leute in der Weiten Welt, with a Japanese version coming early next year too, along with a translation of my first book!

Global Model Village collects together 50 different installations left in cities such as New York, Moscow, Cape Town, Paris, Beijing, Hong Kong and of course London. Most of the images haven't been seen before but the book also includes some favorites from my last show, images taken at Fame Festival in Italy and for my solo show last year in Germany. You can preorder the UK version here, or click the links above for your own country.

We are also organising a pop-up show in New York for early October... More info on the show and books can be found here.

"Stretching alongside the banks of the Moscow River, Gorky Park is one of the most celebrated places in Moscow, Russia. A rare urban retreat in the heart of an overcrowded and congested city. Built in 1928, this park holds entertainment for tourists and Muscovites alike and was the location for Slinkachu's exciting work Stroll."
