I had a really fascinating conversation with artist Mark Leckey last Friday, which included thoughts around the famous Camden Bench hostile architecture, medieval transformation, the Y2K bug, Everton FC, countercultural spaces, mushrooms & all sorts.

The title of Mark Leckey's new Berlin exhibition invokes a bodily and historic narrative - thrown into a vortex with thoughts the internet, neoliberal space, found footage, music & more. Our conversation covered all these things and much, much more:

For ref, this is a seminar series at @ucl.ac.uk Bartlett on fear & landscape, following from a talk I, @danmartin.bsky.social & Jen Handorf did for the AF over COVID, which you can watch here:

An exciting thing I've been doing is Hypha Curates, a new platform for artists to sell their art directly to a new audience, keeping 70% & 30% going to the charity I'm Director of, Hypha Studios.
It's all revealed Tuesday with this inaugural exhibition, come along:

There's a talk I did here you may find as very useful distraction from work

Taquiza looked nice, but seems they aren't open on Sundays, or if they are they focus on beer. :)

Thanks

I'm aware of aggregators :)
I thought people may have personal recommendations.

Throughout history whenever new technology has promised that the worker would have a lighter load & fewer working days, it's 100% absolutely been the case it's happened & not at all reduced worker rights & made bigger profit for the factory owner.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

For @canvasmag I wrote about the new @dirimart gallery in London, and also made mention of the sad loss of I Camisa & Son deli in Soho.
