NEWCASTLE
My solo exhibition at The Cluny in Newcastle opened on Thursday and runs until the 27th May. Thanks to everyone who made it down, and thanks to Ettrick Scott for curating the show and playing live with the excellent Jazz Riot. Thanks also to Joel Thomson for designing the invites and posters, Steven Brown for hanging the work, John M Hayward for driving to London and back to pick it up, Ross Lewis for sound engineering the gig and giving us all a lift home after, and of course to The Cluny itself, a venue I’d last visited 12 years ago with my old band Shitdisco, (noisy video below.)
POCKET MONEY LOANS: NEWCASTLE
Last weekend saw Pocket Money Loans setting up shop in the middle of Newcastle city centre. The reactions were mixed to say the least. I’ve done this project in five different locations now. Like the first installation at Atom Gallery (London) and the store at Roskilde festival, the Newcastle store was intended to appear as if this might actually be happening, mixed in among the shops. Whereas Dismaland and Glastonbury were both set up in areas where people expected sarcastic art around every corner.
HIDDEN CIVIL WAR – NEWCASTLE
I’m going to be bringing Pocket Money Loans to Newcastle on the 14th/15th of October as part of The Newbridge Project’s Hidden Civil War arts festival. #PocketMoneyLoans
