 acid drops & sugar candy
 to access audio and video on collective you need real player.Shopping Christmas at two London galleries. Acid Drops & Sugar Candy is a sweet and sour response to Christmas. Each of the 45 participating artists has made twin works that are split between two galleries, although it’s difficult to tell the nice from the nasty. At Transition the work is arranged in a frieze, while Fosterart have gone for the salon style. Both shows are made up of bite-size artworks - mostly painting – some of which make you feel as though investing in art is as easy as any other shopping experience. Worth looking out for are Zoe Mendleson’s delicate, illustrative paintings on board, Keira Bennett’s watercolour dogs, and Isabel Young’s court jester. Other interesting works (which also stand out because they haven’t adopted the Christmas theme) are Stephen Harwood’s Elizabeth Peyton-style portraits and Paul Murphy’s customised porn playing cards. If this show doesn’t get you into the Christmas spirit, it’ll get you shopping. Acid Drops & Sugar Candy is at Transition and Fosterart, both in London, until 18 December 05.
