STOP PRESS: Just been over for the set up, all looks rather exciting, some really good work in there and an excellent venue to explore it all in (easy to find, short walk from Imperial Wharf station). Most of it was still being set up, so not too many photos of people’s work before the event opens, but there’s a little taste to get you in the mood for tomorrow now added to the album further down the page there……
