THERE’S A LOT OF IT ABOUT

There’s a lot of it about.
Art from people on the margins.
There was some in another place we went and i think another place too.
In the wellcome collection there is an exhibition of art from people with various needs from various agencies in Japan and there is a lot of it thats truly great.
Some of the pots. Bit suspect.
But in the humble (ha!) opinion of @thedogwhatblogs the paintings and drawings are compelling in an i-could-look-at-that-for-bloody-ages kinda way or striking in an oo-thats-big-blocks-of-red-and-black kinda way.
Oh yes I’m back.
Woof.

INCLINATION

Now our natural inclination @thedogwhatblogs in to be glib, sarcy and ironic to a point where its not funny.

*****

Not today.

Obviously we always bang on about galleries.

But this is a bit different…

a bit more…

In the wondrous @thestonespace leytonstone there are artists in residence working away and u can watch.

Sometimes the boy wonder is there too.

Don't watch him.

All he does is blog.

Just go.

*****

And then you toddle up the road to watch a panto.

Hear 'I wish it could be xmas everyday' for two more weeks…

And laugh your head off.

East, east, east london as they say at leyton orient…

Oo u could go there too and make a whole damn day of it…

Love,

Harley xx

SLAM

Let me say this to you by means of an opening hypothesis (mummy did science):

“Sometimes you dont want an iwhatever.. Sometimes you want a piece of paper.”

Here is one such instance.

South London Art Map control the first friday in the month and have branded it according.

We r detecting a trend for branding days and times.

Like all the olympics business is mildly disturbing.

God that was politics.

I do culture.

So we hit the galleries of london's glittering Peckham with an eventual hard copy.

Its lovely having them open late (he lies in… Dont start me) and lovely having a map but we a tiny bit feel its quite a dashing about 2 hours.

Tho if wed thought about it a bit more.

We need to be more succinct.

Lewisham Art Space: yeah, abstract.

Peckham Space: yeah, multisensory.

South London Gallery and Southwark Old Town Hall: yeah, now this we really liked. Big. Normally we like small/short but for art we like big/grand. A whole white room full of trophies. This is 5 star eye candy. Oh! The themes!!

The town hall… Remember when we went to Hornsey Town Hall for the jewish thing?

Of course you do. Well this was all like that. Films in council chambers maximises the coolness.

Go,

Love,

Harleyxx

LOOK AT ME

Look at me blogging again!

Today me and the boy wonder went on a photo walk.

It was almost so unbelievably exciting that we exploded.

Because it combined photography with art galleries.

Which could be any day.

But its good to have an excuse.

STEP ONE… Instagram…

Now available on Android as well as Apple.

If we detach our photosnobcircuits there’s a lot that can be achieved with this little app and an iphone and even more with a few more little apps.

We like…

and…

http://picfx.co/

No ones paying us! They should… i need to move off basics dog food… its soul destroying.

STEP 2…

There are lovely people like you who are very fond of taking pix with their phones.

STEP 3 IS…

LONDON

There are 1000s of galleries in this city providing incredible eye food for free.

Today we went on a tour with this…

They reasonably suggest a donation for a bit of extra insight and convenience but really…

Art Galleries in London… Time Out London
