It goes it goes it goes it goes, it goes like this, well something like this, five art things in this still formingnw world? That Stephen Pinnell piece up there is the 122nd of 200 pieces of art you ca nfind in the third and (maybe not quite) final Cultivate on-line show durng this lockdown…
Time for a quick parish notice, not so much because the Jammie Reid exhibition that had to close back in March when we all locked down has now re-opened, but because the venue is a very very important one, a vital art space, a space that was fighting to survive before the pandemic so heaven…
Five Art Things? I still haven’t set an actual foot in an actual gallery since the middle of March, it feels strange now to even think of doing so, it feels slightly alien. The last opening and last pint in a pub and last gathering of one of the many art crowds that I was…
And so the London galleries, the “proper” ones rather than the print-pimps with their shops full of neatly framed pieces, the print shops that sometimes masquerade as galleries with their tediously conservative limited edition neatly framed print releases, the “proper” galleries are starting to open up, the galleries of Mayfair and the more establishment spaces…

Organ Thing of the Day? Not sure we’re ready to just follow yesterday, #BlackoutTuesday, with some kind of back to normal wednesday, those squares yesterday need to be more than just tokenism, they need to be more that just being seen to do it.
