NERVOUS

Sometimes you want to do something but not too many things and nothing hard.

*****

I’m going to say again about Herald St in Bethnal Green.

They’re are 5 galleries.

All free.

All showing interesting art.

You have to buzz but then it’s like a succession of aladdins caves.

Don’t be nervous.

Visual Art is easy.

Cheers,

DONUTS

What’s this then, eh?

(null)

What do you think?

It’s art.

I think I like it.

Don’t know why.

I also think it’s nice to go to a little road in Bethnal Green where there are four cool free gallery’s.

Herald street, innit.

Just check they’re open or you’ll just have to buy donuts from the sainsburys local to ensure its not a wasted trip.

Cheers,

Martin x

CHILDHOOD

Hullo,

Just thought id tell you about a great exhibition at the Museum of Childhood.
It’s called Red Balloon 87.
It’s an orphan boy with a red balloon in Ukraine in a series of photos of derelict places.
It’s free and…
Its, like, emotional.

Cheers,

CONCENTRATE

To see a film.

In a different environment.

Is a great thing.

Eg remember when we saw oliver twist in the rain.

Well this was dry.

It was in Da Bethnal Green.

There were beanbags.

A confused man came in.

But other than that.

I had the remote control to a big screen.

It was very peaceful.

Details: @uniongallery #foxfur.

Oh it was short.

We like short.

We did concentrate for a whole hour though which is good in 2013.

I say concentrate because it was, like, not dark we tweeted how much we were concentrating and enjoying it.

Love,

Harley xx

U ACTUALLY CANT SEE MOST OF THESE THINGS COZ THEYRE CLOSING

ART ROUNDUP #bethnalgreen edition

 

Campoli presti : blake rayne… some words: barrels, wires, glassware, no boobs, a magazine, no willys, not actually sure if some of it had been taken off the walls coz it was closing or coz it was art.

#inaword: cool

 

Herald street: alexandra bircken… some words: limbs but no protruberances, trees, wires, cant remember

Sometimes. With art. Its a mystery. You make ur own meaning. You have to be there. You should have been being more cultural.

 

Youve got to learn.

ART ROUNDUP

B) vyner st gallery. Bg. Cathy nunn. Daydreaming out of the window. Best art ever cos it was little badges. We got a cool keyring too.

Http://www.cathynunn.com

Of chewing gum…

… Of walter ealing

Chewing gum

D) this was pretty sublimely excellent to. Layers. Korean. We met a lovely korean girl a few months back we played board games and dragged her round pretentious galleries. She was lovely and enthusiastic.

Shes in korea now.

Ho hum,

ROLL UP ROLL UP

Il let u into a little secret…

Free drinks are available.

You have to pretend u are interested in art.

#firstthursdays… Late gallery openings… Vyner st…

Tell them i sent u.

*****

B4 that… U kno art theory no.2 is based on boobs?

I rest my case (and weary sexless eyes) on John Currin @sadiecoles.

They say: Paradigms of ideal womanhood (milky skin, alluring smiles) run up against incongruous details such as underarm hair and overabundant flesh.”

Time Out says “The poses relate not only to the tacky and explicit nature of porn but also to the idealised depiction of the naked female form throughout art history.”

We say: “Like we said.”

Two words: boobs, fanny.

Cheers.

Love,

Harleyxx

A BIT AMDRAM

Its a roller coaster ride with the boy wonder @albiestar… I think she got sick.

Im just sick of not getting a walk if hes dipping.

He went for a walk to maureen paley to see david hodge… I kept him on the level… Rounded off by a decent amdram outing.

I look after him.

I should be reviewing. Not laundry airing. He does that.

Im more your cultured and restrained staffordshire bull terrier…

David Thorpe at the lovely idyll that is bethnal greens maureen paley gallery…

Some words…

natural, shit, no not that kind, bones, covered, log, chalk, simple, talking to me, floral, ikkle, no cock, no boobs no fanny

So what it is right is…

 

Downstairs two big kind of walls on legs decorated in laura ashleyesque vibe.

Natural materials. Traditional craftmenship. Blah blah blah.

Only thing is one of the walls makes a noise at you.

 

Add into the mix a stone on a pedestal.

 

Aaaaaaaart.

 

And a log on the floor.

 

Is it aaaaaaart.

 

Sorry got a bit amdram.

 

Its a funny hobby amdram. Auditions, intensity, exposed. Highs and lows…

 

A roller coaster ride if you will.

 

Love,

 

Harleyxx
