ABIGAIL BOX STUDIO TOURS | Online I thought it might be good to begin documenting the way my studio changes as canvases go up and pictures get painted.

"Finding my original fascination in things"
OPEN | 2ND - 4TH SEPT 12 - 6PM 2011 Along with Nicola Anthony and Kimi Wylde I flew out to Los Angeles to take part at FLAG STOP, an alternative contemporary art event. We were there to represent the 13 Debut Contemporary artists that were shown in one of the FLAG STOP micro galleries. It was a great event and we were able to meet all of the other artists, curators and gallerists that were involved. To read more about the trip visit Nicola's blog.

Click here to watch the video of the private view ARTIST SPOTLIGHT | DEBUT Contemporary "Abigail box's oil paintings have a strong and fulfilling prescence here in the gallery, the canvas is alive with colours and texture from her collages depicting various exotic animals being placed in human environments. These curious scenarios provoke a fresh and inquisitive perspective exploring the contradictory emotions; a sense of belonging alined with feeling displaced. EXHIBITION OPEN | 4TH May - AUGUST 2011 82 Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill, London W2 5RT DEBUT Contemporary is an innovative concept for all aspiring and ambitious artists, showcasing the best of British creative talent across all art disciplines.

Interview with DegreeArt STANDING VERY STILL | Dominic Harris I took part in a project by Photographer Dominic Harris called 'Standing Very Still'. The photo below took place in Oxford Circus, London: Sunday April 11th, 4.00 pm. It was #6 of 10 shots taken over 30 minutes.
oneforone | Stour Space and View Tube EXHIBITION OPEN | 7TH - 14th APRIL 2011 oneforone is the first exhibition for a group of artists engaged in a discourse on change and transition - the need for the artist to adapt to change; the transition of one artist's inspiration into a work by another. 18 diverse artists working in performance to painting, installation to sculptural photography, have been challenged to create a new work in response to a stimulus provided anonymously by a fellow artist; the artist...s in oneforone are asking themselves and each other to react to material, to opportunity, to transformation. oneforone is not about working in or with the familiar; it is about revelling in the change which accompanies exchange.

Aired AM 24th Feb 2011 Sharpen My Pencil Life Drawing | Keep Away from the Edge | Curated by Abigail Box SUNDAY 30TH JAN 3-5PM SHARPEN MY PENCIL is an informal gathering for artists to explore life drawing in an innovative way. With approaches which range from Kafkaesque narratives to two models posing together, come join us for a unique take on capturing the live form. Keep Away from the Edge will explore one approach to observing the figure. Encouraging the understanding that there are no edges but rather multiple surfaces and plains we'll experiment with the translation of this three dimensional reality into a two dimensional representation, with a consideration to informative mark making.

There are studios all over England where artists can rent studio spaces at affordable prices, these spaces are either government funded or private run. I have been lucky to be invited into each artists creative space, to document who they are and how they work, for one hour.' http://www.jensmarott.com/photo_7163419.html http://raeleenherrera.com/abigail-box/ Let'sMotiv | Interview Interview Interview on La Braderie de l'art by Judith Oliver http://www.labraderiedelart.com/ La Braderie de l'art | Roubaix 11 - 12 DEC 2010 A weekend residencie in Roubaix, Lille: 24 hours, non-stop, live creation of re-using and recycling objects, in the presence of 150 international artists A crazy weekend! An epic 34 hours making work along side 150 other international artists and designers in Roubaix. During which time the doors were open for 24 hours to the public, super busy, people would ask questions, take photos and buy work. I've really enjoyed making work that is outside of my usual art practice, the work was very dependent on the materials to hand and the surrounding environment, working alongside so many other artists and designers was incredible

Her vivid paintings use neon hues, accentuating the bizarre placement of wild animals among modern interior settings, “a conscious decision for my paintings to be an escape from real life rather than be about it.” http://blogs.camberwell.arts.ac.uk/snapshot/2010/05/21/animal-magic/ Into the Wilde | Trafalgar HotelEXHIBITION OPEN | 03RD JUNE - 5TH SEPTEMBER 2010 Private View | 03.06.10, 6:30 - 8:30pm Marifer Barrero | Abigail Box | Sylvia Freshwater | Arran Gregory | Patrick Milsom | David A Smith Currated by Ann Harezlak | Jotta "jottaContemporary presents an exhibition exploring the relationship between aestheticism and corruption, where the enchantment of decadence reveals undertones of perverse animal instinct and deviant beauty. Drawing inspiration from the themes of a classic Victorian fiction by Oscar Wilde, the group show interrogates ‘the artist as creator of beautiful things’ where ‘vice and virtue are the artist’s materials’. Spectators fueling their aesthetic urges for ‘surface and symbol’ in the Upper Rockwell will hesitantly discover hidden below the surface, in the Lower Rockwell, a complex and cautionary tale of exceptional beauty."
