Also wanted to flag up a couple of things:
The foundry looks like it is finally getting knocked down. Has anyone heard the protest that “the development is cashing in on the local art scene at the cost of artists” somewhere before?

Also, an opportunity for artists that made me laugh thinking about the proposals they might get; The House of Lords seeks to commission and artist/designer/craft practitioner for site specific work for its permanent collection. This involves a 6-8 week residency for 2-3 days a week at the Palace of Westminster library with a fee of £10,000. So it’s a well paid opportunity indeed, and their collections of rare books and manuscripts sounds amazing, but it’s such a complex situation at the moment. I guess it’s not a residency in the house of commons – that would be different.
If anyone would like the pdf of application details just ask…
