Meanwhile, over on our sister website Organ, the non-stop coverage of art and the London art scene goes on on a daily basis. Things that you might feel like exploring, non-Cultivate things, mostly East london things for that is where we are.
Here’s ten links to recent highlights
ORGAN THING: Sam Nicholson at Gallery 46, there’s a rather bold painter emerging here…
Painter Sam Nicholson has a rather powerful show called “Bring me my papers, bring me my cheese.” happening right now, a show at East London’s Gallery46 curated by Miles Tuddenham and Martin J Ticker, when you talk to the curators about it they rightly sound a little more excited than curators often do. The Gallery… read on
ORGAN: Five pieces of art – Peter Schumann, Sofia Martins Gray, Rabia Farooqui, Bert Gilbert and Izzer Ers, Sara Breinlinger…
The Five Pieces of Art thing (again)? Well why not (again)? All this art flowing past on various feeds or wrapped up in press releases or jumping off actual gallery walls or wrapping chips or passing on the side of those Whitechapel white vans. So we ask (again) why not five pieces of art every…read on
ORGAN THING: Pez at StolenSpace, what is there not to like about all that smiling?
We passed a Pez on the way to the show, pretty hard not to pass a Pez on the streets of London, there’s been a lot of smiling out there, they’ve been documented often enough of these fractured pages over the years. “StolenSpace is excited to present the new summer group exhibition” so trumpets the… read on

ORGAN: Five Recommended Art Things – Gamechangers at Hang Up, King Robbo Day, The Monstrous Femmes, Dylan Bardoe at Bermondsey Project Space, Mark Malarko at BSMT Space…
Where were who or what? Still still poking at things? We already said all this, we almost certainly do need to (or maybe don’t need to do?) do that five art things thing again don’t we? We probably should? Just a bit more of that glue that holds the who or what together. The art… read on

ORGAN THING: Leaving leaves at Deptford X, explore the festival, the art, the streets, Absent Friends at APT Gallery, Sky Circles at Indigo and Madder…
Now before anything else, please understand this isn’t some kind of attempt to critically review this year’s Deptford X.

ORGAN THING: Adam Hennessey, Kate Belton, two very fine art shows at New Art Projects, Hackney, London…
There are two shows on at New Art Projects at the moment, once again the two sit together rather well, they compliment without ever infringing on each other. Of course the layout of the Hackney gallery lends itself well to more than one show and yes, it would be so easy to put two artists… read on
