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…
There’s a very nice piece from Art Car Boot Fair curator Karen Ashton that takes in some of the Organ history as well as some Cultivate, it went up on the Art Car Boor Fair website yesterday ahead of May’s Flora and Fauna adition of said fair. Must admit it was a nice shot in…
Welcome to Next, This time we’ll let the art do the talking first rather than clutter the top of the page with words or introductions, the intro is down at the bottom of the page, under the art and those oh so vital links. Please do scroll to the foot of the page for those all…
Today’s Organ Thing of the day is more blowing of our own damn trumpets (or as Bob and Roberta likes to say, making our own damn art), well my trumpet, blowing my own damn trumpet. A new piece of work produced this week, a new painting. The fifth in an occasional series of paintings in…
We would really like to think, or maybe hope, that it as simple as us just saying hey, here’s some art and here’s the links to the artists, off you go. We really would like to think it was that simple. This is the 14th on-line exhibition from Cultivate and we think, if we’ve counted…
Self? A self-portrait is a representation of an artist that is drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by that artist. Self, a show (hopefully) alive with artists challenged to produce self portraits. Following five on-line shows from Cultivate during this destructive Covid period that started with the #43Artists show back in April 2020, Self is another…
Of course the thing we’re really missing is the underground artist-led shows, the gatherings in the back streets and broken buildings (the few that are left) of East London or South of the river. The establishment galleries are able to set up shows and take them on line, to hang art on their walls and…
It should be simple really, we’re just putting together an online exhibition and a collection of images of people’s art, the work of artists who excites us, art we wish to share. What were doing here is sharing the art and then saying to you, the viewer, “hey look, exciting art, exciting artists, here it…
And so we asked the question about doing it all again, well why not? This is the fourth Cultivate on-line art show of this strange fractured year, three more than we had intended for 2020 – we think this is the 157th show since the idea of Cultivate came together halfway down Vyner Street here…
“And with good reason” she said, (And with good) Reason then, a third and final on-line art exhibition brought to you by Cultivate during these strange locked-down virus-fearing times. When we first planned April’s #43Artists show, the first of what has now become a trilogy of on-line exhibitions, we had no idea that this Covid…
