One year on from the Cultivate experiments and the notions of formal on-line website-based art exhibitions, there’s been five of them so far, culminating in the rather successful Intent (Part One) show that opened in January 2018 One year on, did they work? The first of the five shows, Red, went live one year ago…
Intent (part two) happened, people came, art excited, performance took place and well, read all about it over on the Organ pages – ORGAN THING: Highwaymen, circles and some sympathy for the devil, the intent of an artist-led group show in a basement in East London… The thing about an art show in the heart of…
Intent (part one) – The Intent is for an art show to happen in two parts in two places, the Intent is to have an art show in two parts with both parts happening at the same time. Intent (part one) follows our rather successful Cultivate on-line group show experiments of 2017, Intent (part two)…
INTENT (Part Two) – Cultivate at BSMT Space. (opening night Thursday January 18th) – The second part of Cultivate’s first show of 2018. Intent (Part Two) will be an art exhibition, a group show, for group shows are vital things, a group show brought to you by Cultivate (and Organ), this time at Dalston’s BSMT…
Now we could write one of those self-congratulating look backs over the year that’s about to end, it was a rather good one what with the nomadic adventure in places like Dalston, along the Hackney Road, in Walthamstow, Folkestone, down by the Thames, over in Hackney Wick, that rather successful takeover of Coate, the Fragile…
The farm was fun, that one end of year thing will do for us, art is for life, not just for Christmas. We don’t really do black Fridays, Christmas fairs, mince pies and flogging art to death on line like it means little more than a Christmas cracker and a bit of old tinsel. I…
We shall be taking a small Cultivate stall along to Hackney City Farm’s Christmas Fair on Saturday December 9th, expect a selection of very affordable pieces of art. And may we politely point out (again) that original pieces of very affordable art do make for far far better gifts than some heartless piece of mass…

Busy cooking up some exciting new Cultivation today, the first shows of 2018 from Cultivate are coming together rather nicely, watch this space, announcements later today or maybe tomorrow. We’re working on something in terms of physical gallery flavoured engagement and at the same time something on-line and the worldwide engagement that comes with an…
THE (ACCIDENTAL) MARKS MADE WHILE MAKING ART – The accidental marks made while making art are always intriguing, the floors of artist’s studios, their boots or dresses or shirts, the outside wall that a canvas might have been propped against while being painted on. The photographs of studio floors, paint covered boots, colour-encrusted easels, old…
The artists have been selected, the many (many submissions have all trawled through, the (accidental) marks explored and enjoyed, some artists studios visited, photographs taken, people chased up, thanks everyone (well almost everyone). The show will open on-line both here via the Cultivate website and via our sister website that is Organ magazine next Monday. Expect…
