Five? Now were did all that go? Crashes? Computers? Let’s write it all again. Reduced price fruit and the smell of let’s cut the crap an get to the latest headlines, how is this five thing working out? Five Alive? Arrive Alive? Five a day? Well not quite but that would be good. The thing…

ORGAN THING: Donk, Skeleton Cardboard, Best Before End, a little more thought on the streets of London…

Well why not? Rather like Donk‘s understated print work, his paste-ups around the fractured back streets of London have a bit of dark printerly grit to them, an appreciation of the printing technique and texture rather and a tediously slick bit of digital boredom and another cheap bit of semi-slick thoughtlessness, Donk’s work has a…

ORGAN THING: Two art shows in two Dalston basements, another Thursday night, some Gold, some Cluster, a whole load of smashing it and no damn nibbles

Another Thursday night and another couple of openings at Galleries, the world is on the blink, feels like we’re on the brink, that sounded like a bad song lyric, art must go on though. Art goes on, Dalston this time, the edges of Hackney where East becomes North London on the other side of…

Organ Thing: The Art Car Boot Fair, Hastings, seagulls, sunshine and seaside treats…

Hastings then, off to the seaside for the second leg of this year’s always keenly anticipated Art Car Boot Fair adventure. The tradition now is to follow the main event down East London’s Brick Lane with an Art Car Boot Fair day trip, in past years the destination has been to take part in the…

Displacement? Words? Another show…. art…. blah blah… this… that… words? What’s words worth?…. there goes the neighbourhood…. beer…paint…. rust…. people…. words… friends…old friends, new friends…. foes, toes, stepping on toes, artists, egos… words… I was on the way to the show yesterday morning, off along the road, painting under arm, off to hang it in…

ORGAN THING: On the eve Displacement? But we can buy ten different types of coffee on every East London street though…

Another slice of East London is on the way out, the railway arches of Clare Street, the East London caves, East London’s primitive cave system (as the ever excellent writer Iain Sinclair described them) are going, the family businesses, the car repair shops that were here when no one else wanted to be, the East…

ORGAN THING: Displacement, There Goes The Neighbourhood, a gathering of artists in East London

From what we can understand, One Little Girl and a Can of Gasoline (the name of a steel fabrication workshop in a railway arch on Clare Street (Bethnal Green, London E2), a workshop that sometimes doubles as a gallery space) invited the London artist known as Skeleton Cardboard to run an art show And so Displacement…

ORGAN THING: Last days of Shoreditch? Nah, I loved being part of the Art Car Boot Fair yesterday….

If these are to be the Last days of Shoreditch then the East is going down defiantly. The London art Calendar highlight that is the Brick Lane Art Car Boot Fair happened yesterday, the gods threw their worst at us in the form of torrential rain, gazebo-threatening wind and whatever else they had to hand,…

ORGAN THING: Debaser, trumpet blowing at an art show in a Dalston basement…

Debaser opened on Thursday night over at BSMT Space, Dalston, London, N16, the rain was pouring, the people still poured in and we really can’t be blowing our own trumpets on this one for Debaser is a Cultivate show. Cultivate is nomadic now, Vyner Street has gone, the once rather special street previously alive with…

ORGAN THING: Slicing up eyeballs, Debaser opens in a London basement this Thursday evening…

Pass me my trumpet, I need to blow it, it is my trumpet, I can blow it if I want to! Debaser opens this Thursday, eyes will be sliced, only by the thorns though. Got me a movie, I want you to know. Slicing up eyeballs, I want you to know. Girlie so groovy, I…
