UK artist James Cauty’s series A Riot in a Jam Jar stages teeny, tiny scenes of police brutality and general disorder in… jam jars, naturally. Scenes like “French Extremist Students Contained” and “Fees Riot, Parliament Square” come with moving parts, internal lights and lots of violence. Oh my god, they killed Banksy!

His distorted views and videos are also worth checking out. “A Riot in a Jam Jar,” James Cauty, 1st Jun 1 – Jul 3, L-13 Light Industrial Workshop, London

While the Decapitator is roaming around the streets of London removing celebrity heads from advertisements, artist James Cauty incorporates them into his work. He recently “liberated” a few billboards on the East End, one of them featuring a Roy Lichtenstein-esque Kate Moss fawning over the artist’s work. Perfecting the art of self-promotion, each kidnapped ad space included a website URL too. |Supertouch|
