So many things happened, we've opted to limit our reviews to a maximum of 12 words. You know, keep it snappy. There shall be a maximum of 1 link/photo to accompany each review.
Last Tuesday was a pedestrian start to the week with a new show at Ikon Gallery. Which we missed. But we promise we'll go soon.
Wednesday was VIVID's new show, which, contrary to entering 'vivid' into google, did not yeild hardcore pornography.
Haroon Mirza's show The Last Tape was - Flyspray projection with added revolution of a radio-tacular.
Thursday was the opening to the latest TROVE (art galleries are loving the capslock these days), and a portion of the Coventry University MA Art Shows. We've seen these since then too and can safely say
Sing Silent Songs - Turn off your speakers and click on this. Very enjoyable.
Coventry MA - Opening to 'Enter The Void'. Words. Flashing Lights. Improvement = Dark.
And then, Friday. Friday started with Eastside Projects, which had two shows, though we'll review them both in the same ten words. Then Ikon Eastside's + AVPD, followed by Grand Union showing Jamie Shovlin, and then Inside Out Festival on the other side of a road.
Eastside Projects Jennifer Tee + Elizabeth McAlpine - Fucking hell solid marble obelisk + some projectors + pots + rugs.
Ikon Eastside AVPD Hitchcock Hallway -Like climbing into our mind, stealing our thoughts and making them better.
Grand Union Jamie Shovlin - Like the bullets that explode your head on impact via horror + noise.
Inside Out Festival - The most inside out bit = shhhh-ing band trying to calm a party.
...
Ah crap, the bits where we were meant to include a photo/link didn't happen too well. And those reviews were pretty un-insightful. So here is a video of some probably endangered species getting pissed on fruit to entertain you instead.
P.S. How are all y'all beards?
