MORE FROM THE 'CULTURECLOUD' PRESS LAUNCH AT NESTA HEADQUARTERS

BELOW ARE SOME MORE PHOTOS FROM THE 'CULTURECLOUD' LAUNCH I WENT TO ON THURSDAY (I'M THE ONE WITH THE FRIZZY BLONDE/GINGER AFRO AND SPECS FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW ME). JUST REALISED THAT I POSTED A WEIRD SEGMENTED FLYER FOR THE TOP 40 EXHIBITION LAUNCH THE OTHER DAY - DUNNO WHY THAT HAPPENED BUT I'M GONNA KNOCK UP A POSTER WITH ALL THE DETAILS ON WHICH WILL BE UP HERE LATER THIS WEEK (FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE NOTTS LAUNCH). ALL PHOTOS BY HYDAR DEWACHI.

CULTURECLOUD COMPETITION

FOR SOME REASON I THINK I FORGOT TO MENTION IT ON HERE, BUT BASICALLY I ENTERED MY PAINTING, 'SELF PORTRAIT AS A CHILD' (SEE ABOVE) INTO A NATION WIDE ART COMPETITION LAST MONTH (ORCHESTRATED MAINLY BY THE NOTTINGHAM NEW ART EXCHANGE, ARTFINDER, NESTA AND FACT AMONGST OTHER ARTS ORGANISATIONS), AND I'M REALLY CHUFFED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I MADE IT THROUGH TO THE PENULTIMATE EXHIBITION STAGE! 

THE COMPETITION INVOLVED ARTISTS SUBMITTING A 2D PIECE OF WORK, OUT OF WHICH 100 PIECES WERE SELECTED BY A TEAM OF CURATORS. THESE WORKS THEN WENT ONLINE FOR A PUBLIC VOTE BEFORE BEING WHITTLED DOWN TO THE  'TOP 40' PIECES, WHICH WILL BE EXHIBITED IN THE NEW ART EXCHANGE FROM THE 26TH OF JULY 2012.

COME ALONG TO THE LAUNCH NIGHT IF YOU'RE IN THE AREA - THE NEW ART EXCHANGE ALWAYS PUT ON GREAT, LIVELY LAUNCH EVENTS FULL OF INTERESTING PEOPLE. MORE INFO BELOW:

AND A PHOTO OF MYSELF (BACK ROW 4TH FROM LEFT) AND THE OTHER ARTISTS AT THE LONDON PRESS LAUNCH EVENT TODAY...NOT QUITE SURE WHY WE ALL LOOK SO EMBARRASSED...!
