Hackney WickED returns for its sixth incarnation in seven years – this time with Arts Council England funding.
I love the sun more than most and am certainly trying to enjoy it while it lasts. With a busy summer ahead, including; moving my studio within Rogue Artists’ Studios this week (I will now be located on the 4th […]
This week is the first week without something or other scheduled in my diary for months. Except on Thursday the local press are coming to take photographs for a piece about Southwell Open Studios. We are joining forces with the […]
Ambitious plans for a ‘new centre for the arts in south London’, to be part funded by an auction of artworks donated by college alumni, have been announced by Goldsmiths, University of London.
Today’s plan was to finally move into my studio, but as the temperature hit 30C, my willpower faded. I hate this weather. I hate travelling on public transport to work, roasting all day in the dry heat of a gallery, […]
I’ve been elected as co-Chair of Spike Studios, where I will join Rich Broomhall in representing the interests of 80 artists based at Spike Island, as well as fellow reps Annabelle Craven-Jones, Kamina Walton and Gina Lundy.
Throughout the 2014 degree show period a-n News covered a portion of degree shows. In some cases these were shorter versions of Twitter visits made to each show, some were first hand responses, others more investigative in to what constitutes […]
Olivier Castel, Julia Crabtree and William Evans, Jesse Darling , and Alice Theobald have been named as the four artists to take part in The Future, Wysing Arts Centre’s residency programme this autumn.

Artist-led festival Hackney WickED has announced the successful artists in its inaugural Arts Council England-funded commissions and bursaries scheme.
But I do think it is important to write about what I’m doing and also to review where I am up to with all the things I am meant to be doing, so I’ll use this blog post to do […]
“Sustainability has got capacity to adopt its meaning to the prevailing conditions. It is not a rigid system of rules, not a precept which tells us what to do in any possible situation. Ultimately, what it does is to give […]
London can be an expensive place to be an artist, but what are the advantages of basing your practice outside the capital, and how are those that choose to stay in London making it work? Pippa Koszerek reports from Standpoint Gallery’s recent MAP Symposium.
Its been 4 months since I started the wheels in action to make my garden studio a reality. Getting rid of the old garage, hence my parking space, meant a new driveway at the front of the house to allow […]
At the end of this show there is a small display of commercial items (and no, I’m not referring to the gift shop). Photographs of models wearing angular dresses are shown next to a box of tissues and other goods. […]
This week’s selection takes in two career spanning survey shows – Giulio Paolini in London and Bruce McClean in Colchester – plus there are ‘earthy’ new works by William Cobbing in Middlesbrough, and a new film installation questioning the concept of freedom by Grace Schwindt in Birmingham.
I’ve started to think about all sorts of possibilities that could open up with having a studio. Instead of it just being a space that could lie empty 5 days a week while I’m working, there are options to use […]
It’s the end of week one of Summer Lodge, a two week research opportunity/ residency for 30+ artists at NTU. Most are NTU staff and PhDs students with a few invited guests, some international. I am one of five artists […]
Memories. Acrylic and mixed media on board. Sue Gough So nice to be using the new improved site. I’ve been frantically busy for the past few months; once I’d recovered from the infection, that took me six weeks, I then […]
