Review: Artists Rooms
Too much repetition, not enough interrogation
The exhibition’s concept is that a new collection of internationally renowned artists—Alex Katz, Andy Warhol, Francesca Woodman, Ellen Gallagher, Vija Celmins and Damien Hirst—are exhibited within their own room, to be comprehended independently. The display approach is simple, providing a bite-size retrospective, a crib-sheet to major artists. But there just [...]
Review: P*Belcampo: Retrospective
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. Though the idea brings a sense of collective to proceedings, it is only of passing importance; the pretence is even dropped [...]

Sensitive exhibition brings home the losses of the Iraq War
Few events in recent memory have had a greater impact on this country’s art than the Iraq War. From countless slogans scrawled on street walls, to Mark Wallinger’s Turner Prize-winning replica State Britain, the conflict has left a searing mark on [...]

Three Weeks Review – Two
Two – Free
Act One/Laughing Horse Free Festival

Though wrong to [...]
Review: Improvisation Workshop
Comedy Improvisation Workshop (Adults)
Spontaneity Shop
Improvisation is an art, not just a bit of fun. This workshop explores the necessary skills for well crafted narrative in performance, and inevitably an event of this variety may not be for the experienced performer, but for someone with casual interest it offers excellent experience which would entirely alter their [...]
Threeweeks Review – Ruskin (Live!)
Ruskin Live!
Paul O’Keefe
You are invited to travel back in time to the 19th century to experience, in its original form, a public lecture from the great John Ruskin. As a lecture experience it is interesting, and informative, and cannot be faulted, and neither can the performance by Paul O’Keefe which is perfection. However, the fault [...]

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. A pair of Irish sisters, as inseparable as ’shagging dogs’, recount their shared, and unfortunately bland, childhood. The mediocre biography aside, it is their lack of any comedy [...]
