Hard to stomach the so called independent @VisualArtsSW trumpeting massive new office at #spikeisland and looking forward to meeting "like-minded curators" there. Whatever happened to #diversity and #independence.

Replying to @spikereviewed
Wake up Bristol to what is going on at Spike Island. My partner is a founding member of Artspace / Spike Island. His name was one of the early ones to be pulled out of the hat for eviction. The unnecessary stress caused both to him and all close to him is cannot be measured.

We are all on the edge of our seats waiting to see how Robert Leckie, Director of #spikeisland will respond to this stinging analysis of the 'fair and transparent' Studio Review process by an emeritus professor of Education... #spikereview #robertleckie #noevictions #artcouncil
More documentation from our current exhibition by Mark Samsworth ‘Showdown’. An open letter from Prof Jane Speedy to the director of Spike Island

Artist Mark Samsworth joins the ranks of those being evicted from @spikeisland Like others his appeal has been summarily rejected. He has also been threatened with a gagging order. All the docs relating to this case are in the link in bio above

💰 COMMISSION DROP 💰⁠ ⁠ Libraries have been closed on & off over the past year. As services start to re-open slowly, we want to make Junction 3 more visible & relevant. We're turning its street-facing windows into a canvas for you to draw on.⁠ You up for it? @bristollibrary

Switched to Fox News to see what the conversation for that half of America and the first thing I heard was “Unlike the BLM protests there’s no vandalism other than the breaking into the Capitol” and I confess to screaming out loud.

Reading the @ArtsPro article about funding of the arts. Hope that those who got a lifeline 1) consider how they support the ecoystem they are part of rather than aim to compete with those within in it using their resources that others may not have 2) Consider digital access

This thread so so telling about the implicit #zipping of any critique of #artsfunding #armslength
Almost a third of applicants to the Culture Recovery Fund were rejected and successful applicants had to publicly thank the Government as a condition of their funding

As it's #mentalhealth awareness today I thought I would share these two #sculpture that are in response to my own mental health 'Course Adjustment' which is based upon the #molecule of the #antidepressant Citalopram 'Forever; out of reach' based upon the happy hormone Seratonin
