Building work is well underway at The Edge. I was sorry to see Harry Palmer’s old studio The Hedge be dismantled, a gorgeous Hansel and Gretel style cottage created by artists Pete Hadfield and Martin Humphries with residents Lee and Harry. Pete Hadfield decided in The Edge’s early days that it needed something that declared it was ‘not poncey’ and definitely achieved his aim – I had a real soft spot for it. But as Sandra Hall says, ‘out with the old, in with the new.’ Take a peek at how it’s progressing at the Outersight Halloween Horrorshow there on Saturday 1st November.
I must say The Hedge came to mind when I saw Heater & Ivan Morrison’s Pleasure Island at Eastside Projects. I’m liking these cute and cosy creative spaces in Birmingham.
