ART & ABOUT<br />

In town this month<br />

Simone Riley is the featured artist at Chalk<br />

Gallery from the 21st. You might recall her distinctive<br />

personal style from the beautiful cover<br />

she created for us in April 2017. Made by taking<br />

an original photograph, or combining elements<br />

from several images, her photomontages are built<br />

up from her library of photographed textures,<br />

creating layers and subtle colours that end up<br />

more fine art than photograph. Until the 10th of<br />

June. [simoneriley.co.uk]<br />

In Her Shoes, an<br />

exhibition by experimental<br />

glass artist<br />

Alison Allum, is at<br />

Martyrs’ Gallery<br />

from Saturday the<br />

5th (until the 25th).<br />

Recently shown at<br />

the V&A, Alison<br />

exploits the inherent<br />

qualities of glass – ‘beauty and fragility<br />

versus tensile strength and the potential<br />

for danger’ – to explore the contradictory<br />

experiences of modern womanhood. Gallery<br />

open 12 noon–5pm, Thurs–Sun.<br />

Cinders<br />

Miss Newcastle Brown<br />

Marco Crivello<br />

Father and son Marco and<br />

Jacob Crivello present Continuum<br />

at Keizer Frames<br />

Gallery in Malling Street,<br />

from the 19th. Jacob will show<br />

his poetic, sculpted landscapes<br />

in bell jars and wall-mounted<br />

microworlds growing within<br />

vintage tobacco tins. Alongside,<br />

Marco presents a final series<br />

of seascapes, as well as a wide<br />

range of new work that continues<br />

to explore themes of improvisation,<br />

materiality and process. The exhibition continues<br />

until the 3rd of June. (Private View, Saturday 19th, 2-5pm.)<br />
