And may we just quickly mention this… The last Underbelly of the year with Richard Amor and Sean Worrall happens this weekend. Yes, that’s right, a bit of self-indulgent trumpet blowing on my part – The two artist show happens, here in Hackney, London E8, from the12th until the 14th December with an opening on the Friday evening, 6pm until 8pm or maybe later, it does say 9pm on the poster, the weather seems reasonable, I expect we shall be there until at least 9pm on Friday 12th December

I tend to keep a low profile around Christmas in terms of art and fairs and galleries and such but this invite looked a little different, I do like the punk rock DIY artist-led feel of what Richard does with his Underbelly space and especially outside his Underbelly space under that railway bridge (that bridge where we did once put on a Cultivate show long before Richard starting doing things there).

This will be a three day show, opening night, Friday 12th December, 6pm until 8pm and probably later if the weather is with us. It will happen inside Underbelly, outside Underbelly, under the railway bridge outside of Underbelly. It will carry on during the daytime over the Saturday on Sunday of 13th/14th December.

We’ll both have recent paintings on show, we’ll probably both be painting outside under the bridge, it will be informal, Richard said something about larking around although I never lark around…

You bring the wine and we’ll bring the weather, we might bring some wine as well, we’ll certainly bring some art and we’ll probably make some art over the weekend. If the weather is with us, we’ll painting outside over the weekend, here’s some previous Underbelly coverage – Hang on, what’s that? Underbelly Exhibition? Richard Amor? Very painterly paintings, this is all rather positive, this is what we want…

Underbelly is right by the canal in Hackney at 1 Corbridge Crescent, London E2 9DS, Just off Cambridge Heath Road and over from the top of Vyner Street. Cambridge Heath Overground railway station, lots of buses, 55, 25, 388, get off by the mini Sainsbury’s. Come join in, here’s comes another #43SecondFilm, this one will show you where to find us…
