Near Death Experience on tour- The Vestibules

I've been given this magical golden unicorn to ride
The Mary Poppins of pop-ups has pulled it out the bag and I’ll be legally setting up camp for 3 weeks in The City Hall with a weird wonderland of art, taxidermy and fabulous fashion pieces. 

 Amazingly, The Mayor of Bristol has opened two new arts spaces, and i'm one of The Vestibules first residents. 
For the last month you could wittiness my wears at SPACE gallery.
A glorious spot right on the Old Market highway. These guys and gals at Artspace Lifespace completely saved my bacon when my most recent artistic venture in Stokes Croft went up the shitter-  

R.I.P Stokes Croft
Art studio/ gallery and pop-up shop of amazement and wonder
September 2016- Jan 2017 
I had 3 days to turn an exhibition around.
The job was pretty enormous, the time touching cloth, but it happened and the show was a storm. People came from miles around for their own Near Death Experience....
After official reviews, the pop-up art exhibition and self proclaimed 'Shop Of Amazement' is now officially
'Arguably Bristol's oddest and most unique store....'



It seems The Near Death Experience is on  tour- Who knows how long for. Catch me while and if you can at The Vestiblues in the City Hall on the College Green. 
Unicorns and you will find me riding high and true....Or just in the building underneath ;)
Monday-Friday 11-7 pm

Plug Me In, Turn Me On

I've been banned from Facebook again.  Whoops. My mum says I need to stop. It’s like, my 5 th   time now. They keep telling me that if I do anything wrong again that’s it. Wiped off the face of the face…book. I’m a repeat offender you see. Keep publishing indecent material apparently. God knows what I was dreaming about but I woke up and the first thing I did was this. It's a collage not a metaphor. Currently living in an ex mental day care centre and I found a curious collection of informational photographs, crying out for a collage or two.  These pictures of plugs were my favourite. Plug Me In, Turn Me On BANNED After creating another masterpiece, the first person I had to tell was Facebook. It turns out that Facebook can’t handle a few pieces of paper stuck together, crafted simply with an eye for detail and glue. Facebook can handle the hideous sites devoted to woman’s breasts and arses and all manor of other shameful public shows and grotesque acts of the mor

Debut Contemporary: CON ARTIST: Crimes Against Artists Humanity

Image
Subtle There's  a man called Samir Ceric in a Gallery called Debut  Contemporary  on Westborne Grove that has bullied, manipulated and lied to thousands of young, naive and inexperienced artists. Playing on the fact they are desperate to make it in the art world.  Here’s some advice for free:  YOU CAN’T BUY YOUR WAY IN There is no short cut to fame and glory. You get it by hard work and hard work only and if you are willing to work hard YOU WILL SUCCEED. You don’t need to pay over 400 pounds a month (for min 3 months contract) for a mentoring scheme from a man with no background in art whatsoever… Astoundingly Samir Ceric had just been voted (AND WON) the Hospital Club’s 100 most influential people in the Art and Design category. "I CHOKED ON MY LOAD" Now let me give you some background on the winner: A serial and self-styled entrepreneur, with numerous failed/bankrupt business and absolutely no art qualifications at all. I was amazed

Like A Lamb to the Slaughter. Easter special.

Image
Like a Lamb to the Slaughter I had arranged for some people to come round. They just wanted to see what I got up to on my day off, take some picture ect.  I was planning on using a hare (it being Easter and all) but the only thing that was budging was a lamb.  I was planning on crucifying it before I knew about Gunther Von Hagens and his idea of taking a dead body to the Pope.  These baby lambs died of natural causes soon after birth.  Sinking feeling I decided not to wash the blood out. It's the harsh, stark  reminder of the brutality.  I then turned the spot light on and...
