Jasper & Harry in Turps Banana magazine

Issue ten of Turps Banana is out now priced £8 (ISSN Number: 1749-3994). The magazine includes features on Tomma Abts, contributions from Peter Doig, exclusive interviews with Sean Scully, Rose Wylie, and... Jasper & Harry!

The feature on Jasper & Harry's Tate Modern project is 4 pages long. They talk about their differnt art backgrounds and their strengths and weaknesses as painters. Harry talks a little about previous projects such as the "Viva Pablo" exhibition which took place at The Bart Wells Institute in 2002, his inability to recreate a Jackson Pollock masterpiece and the views expressed by Turner Prize winner Mark Leckey (who he had invited to talk at their Tate Modern). Jasper talks about art world sexism, why his life feels empty if he doesn't paint,  and what he feels about teaching students to undertake transcriptions projects at the National Gallery.

There was a launch party when the magazine came back from the printers. Here are a few dodgy photos of J&H and some of their friends enjoying themselves...

Interview with Jasper in The Playground

The Long Late Last Sunday of August 28th

You are warmly invited to see Joffe et Pye this Sunday 28th August from 12 noon till 9pm. Joffe et Pye is an exhibition of paintings, furniture, and Snoopie houses, inspired by family friendship, and French painting.

This is the last chance to see the show described by Ekow Eshun on Radio 4's Saturday Review as exhibiting "Intense feelings about love, loneliness and fear, anxiety desire and hope and ambition all come into play in these paintings. Very powerful I thought. What could have been fey, arch or game playing was actually very warm." and Lisa Appignanesi as "Droll, funny paintings about loss, friendship and family... intimate paintings in an intimate space. I was won over by it. It was good."

We hope you can join both of us for a final look and chat about the show.

Bidisha and her guests the writers Lisa Appignanesi, Ekow Eshun and Misha Glenny review the week's cultural highlights including A Midsummer Night's Dream at the RSC.
Nancy Meckler's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon is set in the 1960s and has comedian Marc Wooton playing the role of Bottom. Imaginative lighting effects and choreography are used to conjure up a suitably otherworldly backdrop for the supernatural events that play out in a forest outside Athens.
Queenie Dove is the narrator of Jill Dawson's novel Lucky Bunny. She grows up in the East End of London during the 1930s and 40s, learning to use her talent for deception to her best advantage. After the war she finds herself rubbing shoulders with recognisable characters from London's demi-monde as she carves out a shadowy but independent life for herself.
French director Julie Bertuccelli's film The Tree stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as a widowed mother bringing up her four children in rural Queensland. Her daughter Simone is convinced that her late father has taken up residence in the huge fig tree that looms over the house, a conviction that grows stronger as the tree itself begins to endanger the family.
Channel 4's new late night arts season Street Summer is a celebration of street culture and includes films about graffiti, hip hop and streetdance. Bidisha and her guests have watched two programmes from the season: Concrete Circus which features four street athletes who have become YouTube legends and One Man Walking - a piece of contemporary urban choreography.
The exhibition Joffe et Pye is an attempt by the artists Jasper Joffe and Harry Pye to revive salon culture in East London. Held in Joffe's studio-cum-home it features paintings by both artists which celebrate friends and family... and Snoopy.
Producer: Torquil MacLeod.
