The Bruce Lacey experience at Camden arts centre
I have heard of the eccentric British artist Bruce Lacey before, but I wasn't familiar with his work until his exhibition at the Camden Arts Centre ( one of my favourite galleries in London which is not actually in Camden) back in the summer.
The exhibition [...]

See Red Women's Workshop
Posted on January 11, 2013 by Toothpicker
Coincidentally, after writing my previous blog entry, I saw an exhibition on See Red Women's Workshop, an organisation fully committed to the ideals of the second wave feminist movement, and used graphics ( mainly screen prints) to explore and question the role of women in society from 1974 to 1990.

'The price of sex' by Mimi Chakarova
Posted on March 25, 2012 by Toothpicker
I hope that my blog title will not attract the wrong crowd thinking that this is a porn site! It's actually about a documentary that I saw at the Human Rights Watch film festival currently showing in London.

The 'new' ICA

In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists Since 1955
