I was very happy to get a sweet email from Pui, designer behind Scout Editions, after I featured their pigeon print a few months ago, to offer up a little giveaway.

Dalston House
Dalston House is a new temporary art installation by Leandro Elrich in association with the Barbican Centre. It’s right by Dalston Junction station, a short walk from my house, so my sister and I jaunted down there the other day. The mind-bending installation is a perfect replica of a period house facade, laid out on…

Lichtenstein: A Retrospective at the Tate Modern
Lucky me – the Tate Modern invited me to a press preview of their new Lichtenstein retrospective on Monday. He’s one of my favourite artists so it was quite a treat to get a quiet(er) viewing of the show before the crowds. Oh, and I was allowed to snap photos! Besides the comic-strip ‘war and…

God’s Own Junkyard
Sarah and I popped down to God’s Own Junkyard on Wednesday night, a fabulous pop-up collection of new and vintage neon signs, movie props and retro advertising signage on Beak Street, Soho. The curator/artist Chris Bracey collects junked signs from movie sets then repairs and resurrects them into brand new art pieces. The temporary exhibition/shop…

The 100 Project
What started as a 24-hour ‘Hack Day’ project at my agency, Poke, has turned into legitimate charity fundraising website – meet The 100 Project. The idea’s simple: 52 artists have donated an artwork, one of which will be auctioned off each week for a year with a starting price of £100. For every artwork that…

Pick Me Up ’11
I think this year’s Pick Me Up graphic arts show was even better than last year’s! Nice to see some of my long-term faves in the curated selection, including McBess and Jessica Hische. Anthony Burrill‘s open studio, with interactive cut + paste fun Print Club London‘s popup screenprint studio. Check out their shop for some…

Kinetica 2011
Some photos and videos from the Kinetica art fair this weekend. I used a little CCTV lens on my E-P1 to take these, same as last year. Patrick Heide’s Tunnel View – what appeared to be a never-ending wormhole of twinkly colour-changing lights. Dancing Robot by GV Art A machine to replicate the finger-operated ‘singing…

Arty house
We’ve spent the days between Christmas and New Year doing some jobs around the house – mostly drilling into the walls to put up art and shelving. It’s starting to look much more homely now. The living room has a red and gold scheme against the pale grey walls. We’re just waiting to put up…

Berlin: Street Art
Berlin is full of graffiti and street art. Most of the time it’s quantity over quality, with every building’s ground floor dabbed with tags and scribbles which just ruins the otherwise attractive townhouses. But there are several more organised areas where serious street artists go to work creating really interesting things. Tacheles is a huge…

Alphabet Street
This street art along Middlesex Street, E1, really brightens up the closed shop front grilles. P.S. If you’re ever in this hood, be sure to check out The Flying Burrito at shop F – the Choc Norris veggie version is a revelation.
