Freedom not Genius: Works from Damien Hirst’s Murderme Collection. ‘Freedom not Genius’ is the first exhibition of work from Damien Hirst’s Murderme collection to go on display since ‘In the darkest hour there may be light’ was presented at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 2006. Curated by Elena Geuna for the Pinacoteca Agnelli, Turin, it features over fifty artists and spans five centuries. Taking Picasso’s ‘Nature morte au crâne et au pot’ (1943) as its starting point, the exhibition includes the work of some of the twentieth century's most significant artists including Francis Bacon, Andy Warhol and Bruce Nauman, alongside contemporaries of Hirst such as Tracy Emin and Sarah Lucas. It also features a collection of sixteenth and seventeenth century skulls and objects of curiosity. Amassed since the early 90’s when Hirst began trading work with his contemporaries, the exhibition reflects the artist’s life-long commitment to the process of collecting, something he describes as: “|ike stuff washed up on a beach somewhere, and that somewhere is you.”

Argentine artist Leandro Erlich was commissioned by the Barbican in London to install a version of his popular optical illusion that creates the visual effect of instant weightlessness. Using a wall of giant mirrors propped against a huge horizontal print of a Victorian terraced house, visitors are free to climb and jump around as their reflections appear to move freely without the pesky effects of gravity. Titled Dalston House the piece was erected in Hackney just off Dalston Junction. Dalston House is open and free to all visitors until August 4th. Images courtesy the Barbican. Art Splash: Painting.
