The inaugural CVTF500 art show

I've been selected to show a piece of my work in the Courvoisier The Future 500 Network art show in London, which is great! The members launch is tonight and the general launch tomorrow night. Please get along there if you can, it should be a good mix, after all we've all been voted as the ones to watch! :-) General launch: 6.30pm - 10.30pm / Friday 12th June 2009 Venue The Future Gallery 5 Great Newport Street, London, WC2H 7HY United Kingdom http://www.futuregallery.co.uk/ Curators Ed Bartlett Lucy Johnston

Temporary Art Show Review

Here's a wee bit of a review of the Temporary Art Show in the Huddersfield Examiner, 13th March 2009:

"Huddersfield artists are bringing art for art's sake to the people - without funding or any interest in selling their work. The Temporary Art Group's second show is a riot of Sellotaped sticks and tiny wheelchairs. Plenty of artists whine about not being offered lucrative exhibitions or lavish grants. Not Paddock couple Kevin and Georgia Boniface, though. They decided they weren't going to wait to be invited to show off - and didn't expect to make any money from their art, either. The pair and their pals - Alice Bradshaw, Bob Milner and Tom Senior - staged their first three-day Temporary Art Show at Bates Mill in Queen Street South, Huddersfield last May, covering costs between them. And they were so staggered by its success that they've gleefully set about doing it all over again, only this time in a six-month slot in empty units at Halifax Piece Hall - now up and running. Their credit crunch-ignoring, DIY ethic is an industrial-strength blast of fresh air for West Yorkshire's art scene."
