Some thoughts on the Margate leg of the Art Car Boot Fair from the Organ pages, the review went up a couple of days after the event. We had a great day… REVIEW: ART CAR BOOT FAIR, MARGATE, AUGUST 30th 2015. A little bit more than an hot dog… A day at the The Seaside…
Cultivated? Well of course, but are you Organised? We blog about Cultivate related things here – event, shows, Cultivate artists, we blog about art, music and many other shades of underculture over on the Organ pages. Here’s one from a couple of days ago; Organ Thing: Start the riot, painter Kim Leutwyler, activist Ollie Henderson…
Where? What? Who? when? Haven’t posted here for a bit, been busy “dropping” things and such. I don’t know, I thought the Play show was a positive thing, an exciting thing, a defiant thing. it felt like a last stand in so many ways, the last playground, the end of a big chapter (we were…

CULTIVATE presents PLAY: @ LONDON FIELDS, E8 – A maximalist art exhibition in a warehouse… Play happened last weekend, something like forty-three or so artists gathered together under the umbrella of Cultivate. I think we ended up with forty-three artists? We haven’t done a final count yet, couple of no-shows, couple of last minute additions,…
On once more with the herding and the sorting of the details, the careful selection of artists for whom it means something…. “Your warehouse space is quite ugly” said one uninvited artist in a rather negative way… How could anyone not be excited by those beautiful walls? Look at those scars, the dirt, the faults,…
