John Newling - The Clearing part 2 [7 December 2010]
1 The grey clouds sinks in the sky and the wind swirls coldly as the coach twists into the car park. Concrete gives way to wet grass amongst the passengers feet to greet a ceremonial circle of nine tree spurts resting next Read on…

Part 1 [6 December 2009]
I’ve started this review many times in my head. Turning it over and over. Unsure how to approach the prospect of reviewing my peers, possibly even my friends. The first show of a collective of Nottingham Trent’s Read on…

Dan Ford - 'All killer, no filler' [21 November 2009]
I don’t know who Dan Ford is, but I’ve heard rumours. A mysterious figure who graduated from Nottingham Trent when I was still finding my way in the first year here, I’d heard among other things, that he was a Read on…

Jordan Baseman - 'Blue Movie' [30 July 2009]
A room so dark it feels like a womb. Not that I can remember what that felt like. Maybe a vagina then. Maybe it felt like the womb’s whorish precursor, it’s enticer of seed to enable the harbinger of life to Read on…

Extramission 6 (Black Maria) by Lindsay Seer, as part of 'Altermodern' Exhibition [21 April 2009]
Tate Britain, fourth Triennial, titled 'Altermodern'. 'Altermodern'? No dictionary definition. The word did not exist before. A show so new, so contemporary, so cutting edge that a new word had to be Read on…

Fictions [19 March 2009]
It was with some trepidation that I allowed my ever-loving, seemingly ever-present girlfriend to drag me to the private view of 'Fictions' at Bonington gallery tonight. Besides course work piling up and my loan evaporating away, we'd Read on…

'Repetitions' [27 February 2009]
I submit as my review a letter Nottingham Contemporary received that I managed to photocopy while I was volunteering at the ‘Impossible Prison’ exhibition in November 2008. To fit within the University’s regulations I have Read on…

The Black Flag Game [3 September 2008]
Everyone’s been there. Everyone’s been disappointed. Come so close. Convinced it was in the bag. Convinced all the time, effort and careful planning were going to be worth it. Convinced that final bid must surely cover any others. Read on…
Nottingham Trent 3rd Year Fine Art Degree Show 2008 [19 August 2008]
How to condense 3 years endeavour into a final voice? How to combine 82 different voices into a coherent show? How to cover all of these in one review? Like the labyrinths of the corridors at Nottingham Trent that slink and sway deeper into Read on…

Nan Goldin - Heartbeat [16 January 2008]
Dressed as a clown and watching slides of couples having sex sounds as if it would be a great way to spend Halloween. But as I spent time in fancy dress with the intimate and graphic couples in Nan Goldin’s ‘Heartbeat’ Read on…
