Aardman Animations Creates New Morph Film

We realise he may not strictly be considered ‘Fine Art’ but when we found out this little piece of plasticine magic was making a comeback we just had to share. Thats right Morph, the little brown man from everyones favorite children's Art shows Take Hart, Hartbeat and Art Attack, has starred in a brand new animation made by Aardman animations to celebrate the 38th anniversary of Forkbeard Fantasy’s theatre company. 

It’s not that simple to watch toe movie as you have to follow the link below and complete a number of puzzles before the movie is unlocked, but we personally feel its worth the wait. 

Unfortunately as some of you may remember some of the original morphs were lost in a fire in 2005 meaning those remaining are even more precious. We’re hoping someday Cube Fine Art Services will have the honor of storing the BAFTA award winning creation in our state of the art facility, where out fire safety precautions will ensure their protection. But for now, we’re happy watching the little man do his thing on film.

The Turner Prize 2012

We are coming close to the conclusion of the 2012 Turner Prize exhibition with the winner to be announced tonight on Channel 4.

The Prize is awarded to an artist under the age of 50 who was born or has been working in Britain and had an outstanding exhibition within the last 12 months.

This year the exhibitions from the four Turner prize nominees range from the intricate to the captivatingly insane, and surely provide something for everyone in the eclectic mix.

A few of us at Cube Fine Art Storage went along to check out the exhibitions of this year’s nominees and in our opinion there were two stand out exhibits from the four on show.

While we enjoyed all 4 of the exhibitions it was the intricate pencil world created by Paul Noble and the engaging performance artwork of Spartacus Chetwynd’s exhibit that captivated our attention the most. These two exhibitions immersed the viewer into a world created and controlled by the artist themselves, but did so through completely opposing mediums that resulted in an equally effective experience.

The drawings by Paul Noble of his imaginary world ‘Nobson Newtown’, created over the last 16 years draw the viewer in and captivate their attention with the intricacies of the work, where one finds oneself marvelling over the minute detail which could be found on every inch of the paper.

Nobles work is in complete contrast to that of Chetwynd, whose performance art is certainly the most quirky of all the nominees on display. Like Nobles work, although for completely separate reasons, Chetwynd’s exhibit is intensely captivating; with the crowd participation ensuring audience members become immersed in the piece.  

Although Paul Noble is widely considered as the favourite to win this year’s prize, an opinion shared by many of the Cube team who visited, it would be out of character with the Turner prize to award it to the front runner, making our anticipation for Mondays announcement all the greater.

Have you visited the exhibition? If so what were your opinions on the four artists and who would you most like to win the coveted prize?

If this year’s exhibition has prompted you to invest in artwork like that of Paul Noble, then why not ask us at Cube Fine Art Services about art storage, art transportation and art packing, to ensure your items remain in their best possible condition. We’d love to help so don’t be afraid to ask.
