Now before anything else, please understand this isn’t some kind of attempt to critically review this year’s Deptford X. The annual art festival has just taken place, ten July days of art over the river in London SE8 – the festival has been a rather big deal since the first one took place back in…
Organ Preview: “Are you ready for Folkestone Triennial? There’s less than one week to go!” read the headline in the inbox. It is one of our favourite set of days out, you do need to go back several times during the summer of a Folkestone Triennial year. A Triennial year is always a good year,…
s Devi Tensione, Un sisma mentre ci voltiamo di spalle. You can find this on Bandcamp something just released, this week an earthquake as we turn our backs so it see,. Organ Thing of The DAY: I don’t know, maybe the stars make it work? I do like a star..Are words needed with this rather…
There are two shows on at New Art Projects at the moment, once again the two sit together rather well, they compliment without ever infringing on each other. Of course the layout of the Hackney gallery lends itself well to more than one show and yes, it would be so easy to put two artists…
We really can’t let the events of ten years ago pass without marking it is some kind of way for ten years ago this very weekend the Stinging Netil happened.

The Five Pieces of Art thing (again)? Well why not (again)? All this art flowing past on various feeds or wrapped up in press releases or jumping off actual gallery walls or wrapping chips or passing on the side of those Whitechapel white vans. So we ask (again) why not five pieces of art every…
