As far as second year art college exhibitions go, P* Belcampo has an interesting concept: choose at random one from amongst your ranks, and create an exhibition as if retrospective of their artistic achievement.

Threeweeks Review – Gavin & Gavin

Gavin & Gavin – It’s A Long Road That Doesn’t Have A Bend Gavin & Gavin Sibling rivalry is the only redeeming feature of this lacklustre double act’s show.
