Hurrah, a-n is out and my letter is published!There is another interesting letter there and a scary one from the RA…. I hope I have given the argument about open submissions a slightly different insight. I guess I shall find […]
Someone expressed an interest in setting up studios on the ground floor at Harrington Mills. He had seen my blog. However, I went through the sums and showed him that it would be too expensive and quite risky. It’s a […]

The embellishment of international study resounds with the affect of writing and the scripture of applied materials to define a multidisciplinary art practice: but how do you pull yourself away from the developed peer structure of art school?
Lim Young Kyun’s large scale photographs of Antarctica are installed… and v impressive. It’s hard to believe these alien frozen landscapes exist on earth. The studios aren’t exactly tropical at the moment so we may advise visitors to wear woolly […]
