A photo of #EbonHeath's #typographic #ballet, shown at #MADE gallery #Berlin in 2010. This was just one of many pioneering, beautifully produced interdisciplinary arts projects facilitated by the gallery, which closed two weeks ago. I'm gutted I never got to make it to MADE. It lasted four years. Projects/happenings like this are naturally time limited - so learning that team MADE have moved on to new adventures is a wake up call for me! Go visit that exhibition or gallery or show, support that artist if you really feel it! Dont take it for granted. #lessons #learned to #love #art is to #actively #engage and #support #art. Thought: I'd love to see a space like MADE in London #justsayin.

Dance Therapy (2012) by James Clar  recognizes dance as a spatial artform where dancers have to think about their environment and how they are interacting with it. Additionally, it is about those times you go to a dance club, dance for hours, and let your mind wander.

This is a photo by curator Adelaide Bannerman of one of the London Stereoscopic Company day books that is currently on display at @AutographABP as part of their #BlackChronicles #Exhibition. She says “When you visited a 19th century studio, you could look in a day book to see display copies of #photographs of other sitters that had been through the studio. Each image was given a number or annotated in some way.”

The exhibition runs until Saturday and there is a free closing #party tomorrow night. Make it if you can!

Photo by Harmon Outlaw of a performance from RSVP, a seminal show by artist #Senga #Nengudi. She opens with her first UK exhibition today at #WhiteCube Bermondsey and is on until January 18th 2015. " Nengudi’s pioneering #art, developed over a 40-year long career, seamlessly traverses the disciplines of visual arts, #dance, and #spirituality while at the same time, eloquently dealing with such powerful themes as race, gender and culture."

My London culture gift list - ps. i'm available for all of this;)

Hmm, it's been a while, but I was recently reminded of my bygone culture/arts signpost duties by my friend Michelle Papillion (of Papillion art gallery) when she FB tagged me as someone a visiting US friend should hit up for what's bleeping on the London arts radar (Thanks Miche!) This came at the end of a week that made this small but mighty phrase: "DO YOU!" inescapable.  

So in the spirit of getting on with it, here's my simple list of things I'd check out this week if money/time were but a thing. Oh and I'm back!
