goodbye space HELLO SPACES!
It seems like only yesterday I was stood back watching as
Hannah swept away years of pigeon poop, but, sadly, our
time at 15 The Arcade has come to an end. We thought
we'd go out with a bang, though, and end with something
that etches the artist-led ethos deep!
So, as, come the end of December, our artist-led space is no
more, we're hosting projects from artist-led
Blackpool Museum of Contemporary Art, Eastside Projects
(Birmingham) and Royal Standard (Liverpool), with
an accompanying fanzine publication with contributions from
all of the above, Form Content (London), Moot (Nottingham),
Outpost (Norwich),and S1 (Sheffield) with an introductory piece
by Marie-Anne Macquay, curator of Spike Island, Bristol.
There will be alot of representatives from the various spaces
so make sure you come and pick their brians. And see art.
SEE YOU THERE!
Private View: Friday 12th December 7-9pm
Open: Saturday 13th December - Sunday 14th December 12-6pm
Window Show update! It broke.
After 7 days of magic, Rob's installation has, we're affraid to
say, given up. For those who managed to see it last week, you'll
know that for a storm to last 7 days in a shop, something
was going to have to give. And it did. Sorry if anyone was
planning to see it this weekend, but pictures from both
Window installations will be up here very soon.

Braço de Ferro residency!
Friday 18th July - Sunday 29th July
Meet Braço de Ferro drinks Saturday 19th July (probably cups of tea)
4pm - 6pm
Next up we have a residency. For the next few weeks, as
part of the mass migration of Portugues artists and Portuguese
art to Spike Island for the Part-ilha exhibition, Rhys & Hannah Present
will host Braço de Ferro (BdF), an independent small press publisher
based in Portugal and run by the artist Isabel Carvalho and designer
Pedro Nora. BdF's editions focus on book-form artistic projects, artist's
books, catalogues, monographies, critical essays in the fields of
contemporary thinking, art and design.
We've leant them some tables, chairs, a printer, perhaps even
the odd pritt stick, some bikes and some internet and they're
going to use the residency to make a publication. And, over
the next few weeks, our doors will be open and they'll greet
you with a Portuguese smile.
Click the constructive triangles below for a link to their
blog for more information on what they do.

The Big Art Draw photos.
With over 30 bits of artwork available to be won over 4 floors,
people delved deep into their pockets to find the couple of quid
needed for a go on our raffley lucky dip set up. Then Chris Wright
and Victoria Bolt (who also both contributed work to the show)
played some dancing music. We've compiled a selection of pics of
most of the work from the show along with some pictures from
when someone slipped SL2's on a ragga tip on.
For a look at pictures from the Private View, click here.
Thanks to all the artists, laptop DJs and lucky dip contestants.
