Very much looking forward to welcoming Michael Lewis, curator of the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition to my Art Chat salon in Hackney next Wednesday 30 September. Lots to discuss and plenty of time for questions. If you're in the area do join us! Tickets £10. DM me for more details.

Great to welcome Robert Phillips and Rose Davey to my Art Chat salon last night. Food for thought and food for the soul in these terrible times. (note to self: must do more posts here)

Art Chat2 was fun - great crowd and lots of questions. I even managed to read the Pall Mall Gazette by candlelight! Huge thanks to my special guest Luca Nasciuti for coming along and talking so eloquently about his sound art. More in the new year.

Art Chat reconvenes this evening at Chats Palace in Hackney. We'll be chatting about art and music, and exploring soundscapes. There might be a bit of declamation, you never know. 7pm in The Library Bar.

It was great fun to chat with artist, musician and all-round good egg Nigel Burch at the first Art Chat salon at Chats Palace this week. Think I'll do another..

Was struck by this unsettling work by Dorothea Tanning included in the Surrealisme exhibition at the Pompidou earlier this week. Family Portrait (1954)

Great to see this drawing at the Courtauld yesterday as part of the Drawn to Blue exhibition of drawings on blue paper. Wyndham Lewis: Bathing Women, 1941. (with apologies for light reflections..)
