The Grey Gallery, Hawke & Hunter, 12 Picardy Place
6 August - 5 September
Daily: 11am – 6pm, Free
This Artist is Deeply Dangerous is an 11-metre painting that breaks down into nine panels and is one of Bob and Roberta Smith’s largest works to date. Last year The Guardian asked its arts and sports writers to swap places for a day, resulting in a review of a Louise Bourgeois exhibition by tennis correspondent Steve Bierley. The title and text of the painting are taken from this review. Bierley’s article caught the imagination of Bob and Roberta Smith because of its incisive clarity and enthusiasm. The Grey Gallery is nomadic and works with artists on a project-byproject basis. Last year’s Festival found it in a derelict warehouse; this year it takes up residence in the opulent surroundings of Hawke & Hunter.
