make our own damn zines, your own damn galleries, your own damn radio stations, your own damn art, your own damn mess Good morning, for it is morning right now, a rushed morning Cultivate blog beast before I make a Friday morning rush to open the door on the final weekend of what I think…
So the Primary coloured show at Cultivate kicked off in red, yellow and blue style in the high winds and rather unpleasant rain, really didn’t expect to see so many people braving the elements to check out our bombs, well the bombs of MARCOS JUNCAL. there’s some coverage over there on the ORGAN pages Marcos…
Coming next at cultivate, the PRIMARIES show, opening this Thursday evening and running for two weeks, a room full of selected art dominated by one of the three Primary colours… Pretty self explanatory I should hope, work of a red nature, a blue nature in indeed a yellow nature,,, And then in December, the second…
Coming next at Cultivate, this Thursday night, SILENT STEPS a group exhibition of photography. That’s right, this week us paintheads at Cultivate have handed over our walls to a group photographers, let’s see what they serve up…. kind of excited to see what they hang and how they hang it, the pieces we saw before…

I guess the answer, once more, is do it yourself, A couple of things going on elsewhere, one right over the road, one up there in Newcastle… Both pieces of wordery taken in a cut ‘n paste manner from the born yet again no thrill pages of Organ, the Cultivate in-house on line publication –…
Jeeez, I guess I shouldn’t really be that shocked, but did we really just have a so-called London-based art journalist ask us to pay her to write (what I assume would be positive) “critical reviews” of our shows at Cultivate? Reviews that she would then post up on the sites of various on-line publications that…
The question is, what is going on this week at Cultivate? The answer is, we’re not going to tell you. No advance announcements, no show hype, no artist names, no photo sets on Facebook on the evening of the opening day, no answers to your questions. If you really want to know what’s going on…
So what have we been doing at Cultivate in the last couple of weeks then? Well if you haven’t been following us on Facebook, then Other social networks are apparently available and last month’s show (and very busy opening night, no doubt boosted by invites sent out via social media) does throw a lot…
