Periscope Project



Very similar to the "Boxpark" concept in shoreditch - the Periscope project in San Diego, California however is for art installations and exhibitions.

"The Periscope Project has emerged as a multidisciplinary co-op working to establish viable amenities for artists, designers, students, scholars and activists in the form of work, project and common space. Additionally, it is a representational project working to visualize alternative land-use and development models within the city—such that promote spatial structures capable of supporting inclusion and connectivity of mutual social, political and civic achievement."

Should check out Boxpark's shopping concept it's going to take to pop-up shopping to another level!

Roadside Art


Some more roadside art, Taken whilst on the motorway into Glasgow central It's actually part of a three head installation 20 minutes or so from the town centre ( which I thought was pretty cool, because it's almost situated in the middle of nowhere) . Unfortunately didn't manage to capture all three of them and have been trying to find out the artist responsible for them to no avail, So if anyone recognizes this would majorly appreciate the heads up!

Yay!! My National Art Pass Came In the mail today and now "I'm never without art" Rene Magritte's work " The Pleasure Principle" A collection of rare erotic drawings will be showing at the Tate in Liverpool from June 24th. Although I only know him for his surrealist work (My main peice for A levels was based on his surrealist paintings) It should be interesting to see what-else the genius indulged in.....

World Photography Festival


                                      © Liam Arthur courtesy Sony World Photography Awards 2011.

Being Held at the beautiful Somerset House, The World Photography Festival will be running from the 26th April to the 1st of May and will be housing a variety of exhibitions including the Sony World Photography Awards 2011 to the work of the Student Fous Award Winners.

Also with a festival pass (worth £30) you can have access to workshops,  seminars, talks, unlimited access to exhibitions for the whole running of the festival and special evening presentations. Pretty good value for money if you ask me and if your in  love with photography or just merely interested it is well worth the penies.

It's in Partnership with Vodafone London Fashion Weekend & iStock Photo who are actaully throwing a afterparty for the Gala ceremony which is being held in Leciester Sqaure, it will be pretty great for networking for all you budding photographers and oh did I forget to mention they'll be free cocktails?!
