Five Art Things to Check Out? It was a regular feasture on these fractured pages, it was a weekly thing, we haven’t done it since the start of April. Shall we do it today? In these times of lockdown and social distancing and galleries with doors even more firmly closed than they so often were…
“This collaboration between Sweet Toof and Rolfcarlwerner features some larger and unique cut-out skulls, collectible painted palettes, spray cans, B boys and unique objects”, not sure how to feel about Sweet Toof in this form in this gallery, those teeth really bite in amongst all the noise and the dirt of East London’s walls or…
This five art things then? Another five more recommended art events and such that you might like ot go check out, five art events, five things, mostly London things for that is where we dwell, five things that have been brought to our attention that we feel are worth sharing and bring to your…
Thirteen galleries, several pints, this particular Friday afternoon started with another quick look at Jonathan Baldock’s bed over the street at Space .
