It’s almost made us love Mann Island. Open Eye’s new home is a triumph, and reason enough to risk your life crossing the Strand. Since its opening, a year ago, it’s staged some of the….
So, let’s get visual for a moment. Some say a picture paints a thousand words. Actually, it was Telly (Kojak) Savalas who said it, in his smash hit single of 1975, but he also said….
Talk to us about art. We know as much about it as you. Possibly less. But we know what moves us, prods us and pokes us. What stays with us. And we bet you do….
Something very special happened both for me and for my adopted city this weekend. Rhys Chatham’s A Crimson Grail has only been performed twice before, in Paris 2005 and New York 2009. This time was….

The debut Cave Art Fair moves among us tomorrow. A thrilling artist-led celebration of the best in contemporary art. Within, you’ll discover 45 of the UK’s most exciting unrepresented artists, with works available from £10….
We love guitar hero Rhys Chatham. A stalwart of experimental music since the 1970s, coming to prominence as part of the noisy New York proto-punk No Wave scene, he’s comfortably slipped into the world of….
Previous Biennials have seen the bombed-out church house up-turned boats and Yoko’s Skyladders, and this year’s installation by James Brady, inspired by the ‘perfect number’ of Pi, has piqued our interest . We caught up….
