We like the way things are done in terms of art and artists in Folkestone, it isn’t perfect but the way Folkestone’s Creative Quarter has worked with the town, the way the Folkestone Triennial has brought life to a fine old town rather than just imposing on a town in that way art so…
Richard Woods and his studio people have announced via their Instagram feed that they “are delighted to announce that the ‘floating house’ from the ‘holiday Home’ project at Folkestone triennial will become part of the triennial’s permanent collection and will be staying in Folkestone harbour.” The Floating house was one of the stand out pieces…
So Lubaina Himid won the Turner Prize tonight, good, especially at her age, really was about time they worked out that age doesn’t matter. You’ll no doubt find bag loads of editorial and comment elsewhere and it really isn’t needed that much here. Never did see art as a thing to win prizes for, never…
Unfinished business, back on the train, back on the 10.15 for another slice of Folkestone and some more Triennial exploring, for more Fringe exploring, more gallery and art space exploring, back to the seaside while the train company are still being reasonable about those usually crippling ticket prices.

The Dates for this year’s Art Car Boot Fair have been announced. As we’ve said before, the day when art lets down his or her hair (still wonder if art is a he or a she?), is always one of the highlights of the London art Calendar, and this year things are at to be…
Sunday Sunday, it has been an interesting week, not much time for sleeping… Yesterday was all about a day trip on the train with bags full of art and a visit to the Folkestone seaside where the Folkestone Triennial as well as the Folkestone Fringe are currently taking place. The Fringe yesterday included the third…
Thursday, more rushed things, not so little things…. earfood, eyefood, scafolding and the ever impressive Godzilla Black have a new EP Why aren’t this band all over the mainstream music media, so many bland beige average things thrust at us when things as good as this are on the whole ignored.
