Jeremy Wood - Traverse Me - Warwick Arts Centre.

The other day we stopped by at the Mead Gallery in Coventry to check out whatever was on there. We didn't prepare, so when we discovered that the show was a Richard Long-ish Land Art show called 'Traverse Me' by artist Jeremy Wood, I'm sure you can imagine the look on our faces. We set the detectors to super-generous, despite which, the results were disappointing for lovers of Land Art, though truly representational of the tedium we encountered. Inspired by what we saw, we grabbed our GPS tracker and got on our lawn mower and went for a ride. Here's the result;

If you look carefully, you might notice a hidden message in the path we took. The show is on until the 3rd of July. If you're in Coventry and looking for some decent art to see over the next few days, here's our advice; get on a train and go to London. Just kidding, there are some decent happenings later this week in Birmingham. It's less far and less rah than London. Watch this space for reviews. We'll be there.
