Ross Jones + William Hogarth
Thursday, 19 January 2012 -
Friday, 17 February 2012
Sumarria Lunn Gallery, 36 South Molton Lane, Mayfair , W1K 5AB
How Much:
Free!
Well this is a ballsy move. Contemporary art upstarts Sumarria Lunn are putting on a show that places the work of emerging artist Ross Jones alongside those of one of the all-time greats of social satire, one William Hogarth.
It's an interesting idea, and one bound to boost the value of Jones' highly detailed and engaging drawings, but one that - like Damien Hirst's show at the Wallace Collection a while back - could rather backfire.
Until 17.02.12.

How is it like Damien Hirst's show at the Wallace Collection?!
1)They are not a museum.
2)They are not bringing contemporary art into a museum context.
2)Unlike the Wallace they are not giving a solo exhibition to a banal commercial art brands' worst out put yet in a setting that bares no connection with the work at all.
3)The gallery mail out I just read made an interesting comparison between each Hogarth it mentions and a Ross Jones drawing. It also places him in the context of Hogarth and that tradition, not as an equal. These works are clearly included to add context not value.
4)Do you know the £value of a Hogarth etching?! They are not paintings by Goya! This is not value by association.
5)To the best of my knowledge that train wreck Hirst painting show did little to raise his value, in fact it probably lowered it. Derivative, boring paintings are not exactly "The impossibility of death in the mind of someone living" now are they.
If you have to make such a pointless comparison with a museum show you might perhaps pick the current British Museum exhibition where Grayson Perry responds to objects in the collection - a properly considered exhibition at least.
