Helen Scalway’s concluding exhibition at St George’s Arts, ‘Pattern and Place’ opened yesterday evening with a well attended private view that became something rather more than that. Helen had asked early music soprano, Sophia Brumfitt to ‘sing the drawings’ (this […]

When I was in Milan last week I saw a huge demonstration by students against cuts to University budgets. The last time I saw anything like that here was when they brought in fees – at eca we all went […]
