This week’s selection includes figurative painting in Edinburgh, site-specific sonicness in Sheffield and a bit of English Magic in London.
It seems that in Taiwan it is most certainly good to be born in the 80’s. From my trip so far there has been artists ‘a plenty’ to get excited about, nearly all born in the generation most brits try […]
