Esta pintura representa un cuerto de hospedaje para la gende de la calle en medellìn, un poco oscura, miedosa tal vez, aun asì, en medio de lo lugubre que se ve, las relaciones que se pueden crear en una noche, en medio de risas y drogas a veces, la gente se conecta y llega a [...]
Hello everyone, I must tell you all, we put lots of effort making sure that there would be plenty of activities, performances and opportunities for everyone. We really hope you come along to the festival and have a great time; it has been a year of work and preparations to make this happen and finally it’s SHOWTIME!!! I also want to say thanks to all the people who in one way or another contributed to make this possible. But there is one person I have to mention here and that is Julia Farrington for having that vision and believe this event was achievable.
Please click here and check out the festival program, if there is something missing please leave a comment, if it is urgent give me a call +44(0)7795430152.
I was not thinking of anything
I was creating a vision of the sounds of the streets
Skateboarders, discos, the far distant, rhythms of Buskers
And the rhythms of the moving London
Potent smells and acrid tastes
Soft touches and lightning movement
A two line poem I had previously composed
Found rhythm and shape
On these beats of London

Our flight stops off at somewhere called Riga, and I’m sitting here thinking’ Riga, where the hell is Riga? When we did arrive at Riga we got lost looking for our Russian transfer, and the staff were shouting our names over the PA to get our arses there and we finally found where we were supposed to go. The plane to Russia was a 40 seater with two propellars. At the Airport, Arkady was there to meet us.
He took us for coffee at 2 am and then to a hostel that reminded me of a commune I was in when I was younger.
Ade introduced his language tool to people at the hostel, something I have named the Welsh Computer (Ade is Welsh). This is a piece of Welsh slate and a stick of chalk.
Wake up first day in Russia, Ade is photographing everything in the room. The place we stayed in has a bordello above it and you can watch cctv footage of whose going up and coming back down. St. Petersburg is a very beautiful city. It is very big and everything looks very old. We used the metro for the first time, the escalator goes down for ages and all the architecture in the station and the design of the trains is very classical. The concentration is on design rather than what is practical. Travelling round is very difficult as the Russian alphabet has 36 letters and half of them are completely alien to me (no English translation here) Walking around the centre we saw someone selling kittens in the street…
…and a couple of young lads doing acrobatics in front of cars in the road
Our first meal was in a traditional pancake shop.Ade ordered a couple of salads. He was telling me how nice they were and that I should try them myself. When I told him they had chicken in he seemed a bit surprised, and he suddenly got ill. He says meat makes him ill, I wonder if he would have been ill if I had never told him there was meat in it.
Hi everyone, hope you doing well… I was meant to create something about the circus performance but it’s not going to happen, no yet… In the mean time here is George, we always chat at his flat while having a coffee and taking pictures of his work. We are very good mates and respect each other. I really like his work and things fro him are getting very excited, not only in terms of making a living selling his work but the work itself is evolving in amazing ways… but let’s not get in the way, PLEASE DO CLICK HERE TO LISTEN GEORGE AND HIS JOURNEY THROUGH ARTS… comments as always are very welcome…
