Art work from the Sequences Real-Time Art Festival from back in 2008, proves that not only is milk good for your bones, but it’s good for font design too. Providing you’re willing to make an awful lot of mess.
The 2010 version of the festival runs from October 30 to November 7 in Reykjavík, Iceland.
From the ashes of Rise comes the UpRise Anti-Racism Festival on October 3 in Finsbury Park London.
The previous incarnation went down in a blaze of contention and glory. Brazen Bunch, Zap! Bang! and twenty%extra™ have bowed to the will of the people to bring back an event that never should have left in the first place.
We’ve achieved an awful lot in a very short period of time, but there’s still much to do and funds to raise. So if you – like us – want to put our money where our mouth is so to speak, then please lend your support by joining the ever growing £1 Crew [larger donations ARE welcome], joining the FB page or just spreading the word.
I think I may have to don a school uniform and start wearing my hair in ponytails again. Not a Britney homage, but to see if I can blag a few of ‘A Night Less Ordinary’ tickets.
For those luckily enough to be under 26 (I’m just over the age limit, mind) the Arts Council have promised FREE theatre event tickets.
All you have to do is check out www.anightlessordinary.org.uk enter your location and all participating theatres in the area will pop up, book your tickets and Bob’s your uncle, you’ve been in the receipt of freeness!
So if you feel like getting your culture vulture on, you know what to do.
If you haven’t had a chance to visit the Chris Ofili retrospective at Tate Britain as yet, head down this Sunday. Not only will you get to see the show for a fiver (bargain!) but you’ll also get to take part in a range of creative workshops and musical shenanigans.
I really can’t recommend this show enough (without sounding like I’m on the Tate payroll) but <em>really</em>, his work will blow your socks off. You’ll be immersed in glorious colours, intricate patterns and provocative narratives. But don’t take my word for it, be part of it.
