FERREIRA PROJECTS is proud to present the first solo exhibition in London of James R Ford – Duchamp Played Chess; I made Cranes. Ford’s new body of work emerges from his fascination with the ancient Japanese practice of Origami and begins to illustrate how Eastern Art has become Westernised.

My son and several other artists are currently exhibiting at the FERREIRA PROJECTS gallery in Shoreditch. I took a few photos there. Here’s Christian Ferreira, who runs it, making us some coffee:
