Ruins of Time | Tower – St. Augustine’s Tower, Hackney – Went up a 13th century tower last night, always a challenge getting up those tighter than tight well worn stone stairs, best not to partake in too much of that private view refreshment if you want to get back down in one piece. There’s…
It is all rather uncomplicated, a simple group exhibition out in the beautiful grounds of the Wanstead Quaker’s Meeting House, a show called Freedom, part of the Leytonstone Arts Trail. The outdoor shows, curated by artists Brett Banks and Mark knight, always in the peace and quiet of the woods behind the meeting house have…
Well now, when I painted that interpretation of the Flipper cover a couple of days ago I had no idea that the remaining members of Flipper were actually on their way over for a show or two. A whole European tour actually including a London date (overseas over in the South) at the New Cross…
Six days to go now, the Art Car Boot Fair is back in terms of a real life event, it all happens this coming Saturday, here in London, at Kings Cross, back for all the fun of the fair for a 19th slightly anarchic year, an artist run thing done the right way. Here’s a…

It’s hard to tell, with Van Der Graaf Generator. Existential dread – or perhaps existential obsession is more accurate –…
The Grotto at Ridley Road Project Space, London E8 – January 2022 – it was only on for a weekend, over on Ridley Road, by the market, and it did feel like a grotto, a purple grotto, a punky, DIY flavoured art grotto. And for once the fact there is absolutely no indication in terms…
We only really realised twenty two hours ago that it had been ten years this week, I mean, we were vaguely aware, we had been thinking about it, if we should mark it? How we should mark it? Indeed was it worth marking? An awful lot has gone into those ten years, a lot of…
Where were who or what? Still still poking at things? We already said all this, we almost certainly do need to (or maybe don’t need to do?) do that five art things thing again don’t we? We probably should? Just a bit more of that glue that holds the who or what together. The art…
