Only for six days! The House of Dots is at Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross, London, and the venue launches a new range of fun stuff from LEGO. Visitors are able to see and use the new Lego Dots which is a childrens’ building block system. The house itself is a work by artist […]
Read MoreSome of you will know Year 3 is a Steve McQueen arts project. This substantial work involved the photography of the year threes at each school in London that wanted to participate ( practically all of them did contrary to expectations!) Many media sources and blogs have been writing about the #year3project since its major […]
Read MoreSome of you may well have seen my post on Banksy’s pop up Croydon store – or perhaps more likely read of it in the news and social media. As reported it was open for just two weeks and it shut down early Monday morning 14th October – having never even been opened! My London […]
Read MoreA new pop up shop has appeared in Croydon displaying some of Banksy’s hurriedly created wares. Its not wholly some new artistic theme (like Dismaland) but rather it has arisen as a result of a legal need to establish some counter challenges in regards to trademarks, but it does of course involve a good bit […]
Read MoreA brilliant artwork that takes up the entire west side of Cubitt Square at King’s Cross. Its a collaboration between artist Christine Sum Kim, Frank Barnes School and Argent the site’s developer. It must be one of the biggest statements that’s been made as a work of art yet despite its somewhat ‘fun’ connotation it […]
Read MoreA goody bag of tweets covering many different types of vintage London Underground posters, many dating back to the very early days of the tube. This post was originally prepared in 2017, which explains why tweets only go up to that year. A new post has been done with those after 2017 and any that […]
Read MoreThis is a review of the criticisms against Kubrick and his acclaimed film 2001: A Space Odyssey. All of these were made in the first few weeks the film was released, eg April and May 1968. I have added some of my own observations in relation to these. There are also positive reviews to balance […]
Read MoreThis is the one with the Beadles! The Burlington Arcade has reached two centuries and its one of perhaps a couple of places in London that has continuously employed Beadles on its watch. The arcade is found on Piccadilly right next to the Royal Academy, just round the corner from Bond Street and The Ritz, […]
Read MoreA fairly quick post, mostly with pictures! Many might think I do very little but a lot is done in fact. Last year for the 50th anniversary of 2001 A Space Odyssey I did dozens of titles because I had planned on doing quite a number of posts but then I thought ‘hey no-one wants […]
Read MoreOne of the biggest non science works of physics books in my view. On a par, or even better, than Tao of Physics, and even better than the Quantum Society/Self. As you have so not guessed it, this is the 40th anniversary of the famous book – one even physicists recommend! The Dancing Wu Li […]
