Well now, the morning after the AAA collective First Thursday show. Things were chaotically DIY and the organisation was at times 'interesting', somehow the show all came together almost on time and did rather like the way everyone pulled together and let's do it ourdleves spirit of it. And it was a pleasure sharing an early Summer evening by the canal in East London with some positive pro-active people, some good art and some going ahead and doing it without some gallery owner exploiting things or dictating direction... This nothing new of course, collectives and artists pulling together and doing it themselves, did enjoy dipping a toe or two in the (canal) water with the AAA group though...
The show continues this week end in the gallery space by the Canal in Dalston/shoreditch, Acton Mews, London E8, just off the Kingsland road, by the bridge and the car wash. The gallery/shop is open this Saturday and Sunday, 11am until 7pm. Some of thr artists will be there, I expect people will be painting and such (I will be for some of the time)
off we go t oenjoy the canal, the art and the Saturday sun, there's some live music happening as well...
