Current Director of the Whitworth, Manchester and Manchester City Galleries will succeed Sir Nicholas Serota who is stepping down after almost 30 years in the role.
Ferens Art Gallery in Hull has reopened after a £5.2 million refurbishment largely funded by Hull City Council. But while the local authority should be commended for its commitment to culture, Sheila McGregor argues that the blame for council cuts in towns and cities across the UK needs to be forcefully directed at Westminster politicians rather than hapless local representatives.
From London Trip, November 2016 I went to see the Guerrilla Girls exhibition at the Whitechapel gallery whilst on the university trip to London. In 1985, a group of feminist activists in New York donned gorilla masks and took the […]
Just a quick random post. I’m sure I’m not alone here in saying all I ever seem to see are people with necks craned and hunched over a smartphone – this unfortunately is an all too common sight in my […]

“Ode à l’oubli” was Bourgeois’ first book of fabric collages. The pages were made of linen hand towels from the artist’s wedding trousseau and are embroidered with the monogram “LBG” for “Louise Bourgeois Goldwater” (Bourgeois married Robert Goldwater in 1938). […]
My project seems to be veering towards how women are treated in/because of the porn industry. There are unrealistic expectations set for boys/men of how women should look/act. Dworkin’s theories back up the statements made by Mulvey that I have […]
I spent December in Japan: first a week working in Tokyo as part of the Playable City Tokyo creative lab (read more about it here) and then a few weeks traveling around refreshing old connections and making new ones. […]
When I went to the Oxford museum I wasn’t expecting to see such a wide range of animals, but the animals they had where beautiful. My favourite was the American black bear they had, he was out in the open so people could […]

The sketchbook never empties, not all ideas manage to get out. But some will. This page further explores the connections and/or disparities between sign and index. An odd statement perhaps, as we think of them as different; hence the different […]
The film ‘I Always Wanted To Be …’ is now complete and the blog, which I started in August last year (2016), concluded. ‘Keeping It Moving’ (published on the a-n artists blog website) was created specifically to record the process […]
I like the look I’ve achieved with the Platform – Summer, not sure about the editing though but very happy with the colours and texture the digital pinhole has created. I think the longer version is definitely more interesting than […]
I was delighted to be accepted for Art Fair Malaga this week, and a after a little struggle with RyanAir I have booked my ticket and seperatley a nice cheap central place to stay. At this point in time I […]
