TweetTAXIDERMY DEER LEGO KIT (UNOFFICIAL)
2012-01-30Remember your hunting days with this mounted deer LEGO kit: the morning dew, the crunch of the field under your fancy boots, the sad eyes of the majestic, dying animals. It will all come swirling back to you as you assemble these 60-ish pieces. Due to piece availability, the design slightly differs from the photo, mostly in the design of the backboard.
This unofficial, homegrown LEGO kit includes mostly new pieces as well as a hand-drawn instruction guide by yours truly. It’s made with standard LEGO pieces, so it’s fairly small, just about fits in your hand.

THERE IS A PLACE….
2012-01-23There is a Place…brings together a group of artists who explore our psychic connectivity to landscape. The drawings, paintings and prints within the exhibition reveal ‘a sense of place’ as seemingly generic urban and suburban views evoke personal and collective memories. The reverie of teenage hideouts, suburban housing estates and motorway junctions, each depicted in painstaking detail, are at once familiar yet unnerving for all.
The artists in this exhibition capture the most overlooked and peripheral spaces of our towns and cities, those unremarkable and unclaimed spaces that we each make our own.
Opposite – Leytonstone, Laura Oldfield Ford, 2011
Exhibition runs through to April 14th, 2012

MARGHERITA MANZELLI
2012-01-23Margherita Manzelli’s claims that her large scale paintings are not intended as self-portraits (though they nevertheless bear both a physical and psychic resemblance to her) reflect an earlier period in her work where performance was an important element. Manzelli herself admits that “I would like them to be different to me. And yet I realize that this very desire is symptomatic of the fact that something of myself remains in them.”
