‘Come Together’, the group show I was in at CoExist, ended this weekend. I’m really disappointed I didn’t get to see it, but this coming week is the first that I have any free time since I got back. CoExist was founded by Amy McKenny and Emma Emmerton, and their new project space was set up in partnership with Metal Culture.
There is a real buzz around Metal Culture (it was founded by Jude Kelly, Artistic Director of the Southbank Centre, and Sir Ian McKellen is a trustee. Their Southend centre was officially opened by the uncommon commoner Jarvis Cocker). Amy and Emma have worked incredibly hard at building CoExist and deserve every success. This was the inaugural show at TAP, and I am very pleased to have been a part of it.
