Short Cuts

 

Current

Critical Cities vol 2 is out now, featuring my chapter "i am here"

I selected Stefanos Pavlakis as "Axis Artist of the Month" for Sept 2010, for his inspiring and stunning photo and video work.

I reviewed the astonishingly fascinating Name June Paik retrospective for the A-N, who kindly sent me up to lively and fun Liverpool. FACT and Tate Liverpool are wonderful venues!
