Well, where was he more like; at the Frieze Art Fair in Noo Yawk, where he came across…
We’ve been a tad slack and didn’t post it at the time (and he has dropped it into his Facecrack page), but we’re always excited to get his gl-aaaass tid-bits when he’s off trotting around the globe.
Thanks Nige. Sweet.
Nigel launched RKD, his new gallery/sculpture workshop complex, with a tasty exhibition of one of his most abiding obsessions; the Afghani war rug…
We couldn’t make it up for the opening, alas – which was fab by all accounts – but he’s just dropped a post into iconophilia (which, after all, is the next best thing to being there!) Check it out here.
Well, tomorrow he’s in Sydders…
We love that. It’s also the last couple of days of the SNO: 106 Returning to the Field exhibition (which features more of his work.) Go here to play spot-the-lendon.
Goodness, we’re nearly at the half-way mark through August and we’ve not yet spread any of the love….better late than never, so here’s a bit of a job lot…
First up, Jas biz…

And then there was Nigel’s starring role at Heidi…
[We love that work Nige – super, super cool. We can feel a re-emergence coming on.

And then there was the fabbo snap sent around work by one of the Rangers…
…which shot us straight down memory lane to Rose Montebello’s wonderful Knot…
And then there were last week’s highlights – like another circulated work pic of winter on the Brown…
And news of Alex’s upcoming show, opening this coming Thursday night (16th August) at Beaver…
Be still our beating heart – we love Alex’s work. If Megsie manages to shrug off her current state (flu-blown) and make it across the Monaro for the Ranamok on Wednesday, the Gang may well manage to swing into the Beaver as well. Joy. (Just a reminder to our American friends that Beaver is the name of a gallery in Canberra…)
How marvellous it is to see Nigel slipping quietly back into a spot of art practice. He’d been invited into a show autophilia at SNO (Sydney Non Objective) a couple of months ago and it seems to have triggered something of a creative interlude…

Encore, professore, encore!! And we so concur with the sentiment.
Not so long ago we posted that gorgeously quaint tableau of Nigel being photographed by a street vendor in Herat (…check back through the Foreign Correspondence files.) Above is a scan of the resultant picture – which we reckon ought to be adopted as his official portrait. What a bewdy.
