Art in Gloucestershire – is it our turn? Drones in Cheltenham?
There was a launch for ‘Surveillance’, a new work by Patrick Lowry, at the HardwIck Gallery in Cheltenham yesterday.

Canal & River Trust, waterways, people, passion and museums
I attended the Canal & River Trust AGM on Friday in Birmingham’s beautiful new library. The Trust is only two years old, so very early days for them. Whilst their key business is about public engagement they have had a huge number of maintenance works to do as well. It is remarkable what they haveContinue reading “Canal & River Trust, waterways, people, passion and museums”
response & rant to Axisweb article/report on Behind the Scenes of the Museum: Artists in Collections
I too attended this symposium and I can relate to much of what Gill Nicol reports online. It’s an excellent report of the day and I’m delighted that Axisweb commission such texts – so many journals no longer pay for articles.
