• Melinda Schwakhofer’s latest video Hanging Custard ‘is composed of transient reflections of the Custard Factory in Digbeth’, with music from the Hang Playing Hedge Monkeys sourced by her travelling companion and Custard Factory tenant Steve Coxon.
• Of Comic Nerds and SteamPunk - The Digbeth Slacker posts his thoughts and photos from the Birmingham International Comics Show at Millennium Point - ‘by far the best graphic novel shindig this side of London’.
• Artist Curator Gavin Wade - NP Exclusive Video Interview - Billed as ‘an exclusive video interview with artist curator Gavin Wade at the opening of the new gallery Eastside Projects in the heart of Digbeth the new cultural quarter of Birmingham UK’. It’s actually someone who filmed their brief moment with Gavin on a mobile phone, but what he says is interesting. “There’s a lot of references from…radical exhibitions that have never been carried through.” Eastside Projects intends to do just that.
