Malene Hartmann Rasmussen nominated (again)
Malene Hartmann Rasmussen has been nominated for the Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon for a second time. The prize brings to life the original spirit of the Salon, drawing together an eclectic and dynamic group of members to share ideas and debate on developments in the Arts, with a philanthropic goal at its heart. The Salon supports the selection of an annual prize winner who receives a substantial sum and experiences to support him/her in the development of their career. Every Spring guided by Tony Chambers, Editor-in-Chief of Wallpaper* and Chair of the Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon for 2014, the Salon members select a UK-based emerging talent in Contemporary Craft. A strong sense of craftsmanship and beauty should be at the centre of their work, reflecting the style of Champagne Perrier-Jouët.

MALENE HARMAN RASMUSSEN WINS JERWOOD MAKERS OPEN 2015
The Jerwood Makers Open promotes the significance of making and materials within the visual arts arena. It seeks to support exceptional skill and imagination, looking broadly at how contemporary artists are defining or challenging the boundaries of what has traditionally been described as applied arts.
On the submission process and final selection, the panel commented: ‘Whittling down the finalists from this year’s record number of entries was genuinely tough. In the end the five chosen displayed a high level of technical skill combined with imagination and intellectual adventure. They are all attempting to take their practice in a new direction. 2015’s Jerwood Makers Open promises to be an exhilarating exhibition.’
Malene will exhibit at Jerwood Visual Arts in London in July/August 2015. For more details visit their website.
Jessica's home is now open to clients. Our inaugural exhibition of prints, paintings and drawings by a specially selected group of artists will run from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th December (and thereafter by appointment). Preview Night on Thursday 4th and Christmas Drinks on Friday 5th. Watch the website for further details or contact us for further information.
