ARTIST IN RESIDENCE – MUSEUM OF CROYDON

PINS_Museum Of Croydon_Eflyer

Museum of Croydon, heard of it? Thought not…

I’ll be doing a month long Artist Residency with a full on #PINStallation taking shape over the time period, in the hope to not only raise more awareness that the place even exists (only realised it was here a year or so ago), but more importantly to connect & engage with wider a demographic through art, especially young people, those who may not be familiar with the likes of the Tates & V&As, or cos travelling up to London ain’t cheap, and sometimes just wanting something in local settings that they can actually relate to, in some way, would make sense…anyway, I’m gonna be at the Museum from the 25th Aug onwards, feel free to drop by, connect, and please spread the word if you know of any young creatives or whoever that may benefit making a visit down or from taking part in my series of ‘Tech A Break Here’ Workshops, one of which kicked off today, designed to get you off them phones and into full creative zones, peacefully…

25th Aug
‘Make Tees Not War!’

‘AN EXQUISITE MESS’ SHOW

Was recently involved in a group show entitled ‘An Exquisite Mess‘ (Think Wallace Collection meets Burning Man Fest) – Set in the lovely private home of designer Haley Mclane down in Clifton Gardens, featuring a mixed bag of 30 artists, DJs and live performance artists.

The whole night was a vibe I have to say…some quality artworks and a nice mash up of people…oh, and the food 😛 Was just nice to experience a full on show inside a house other than a gallery for a change, really helped shape the vibe and enjoyed the way people responded to the works, as if you could say, this was their house for the night, that homely feel without that clinical / stuffy vibe of a gallery, if you know what I mean…

Big up Haley on putting it all together alongside art curator India Dickinson, and all the other artists involved…special shout out to my guy Carlos for the connection, Whiskey, Henry, Sequinkay, Adam & Fred…Big up the Staircase going into the ceiling too *Features!…

SWEET TALK – PINSTALLATION / COLLABORATION

SWEET TALK_ITS PINS

It’s not everyday you come across creative spaces with bags of personality, especially in swanky Mayfair, but on this one occasion I did…

Now being the curious being that I am, forever popping my nose into places where perhaps others wouldn’t, I’ve realised most of my opportunities in life have came from my curious encounters, which have then led onto other paths and things which I may not have planned as such, but just seem to happen, like a flow of some sort, in constant motion…

This motion led me to ITS Clubhouse

Unlike other concepts, which often focus on wealth and status, Italians Clubhouse is aimed at art and design enthusiasts, foodies and people looking for a place where they can still connect and share their passions in true Italian style.

Picasso 1932 : Love, Fame, Tragedy – TATE

Girl Before A Mirror, Picasso Sketch Tate, PINS©

I love art. The more I sketch, the more i’m seeing, what lies within, the canvas, the surface, the form, the shape, everything…plus, anything which gets you off ya phone and more in the zone, is a good thing!

Popped down to Tate Modern to check out the Pablo Picasso exhibition, featuring more than 100 paintings, sculptures and drawings, mixed with family photographs and personal life bits.…
