- EC Arts brings major public art to Digbeth – Artist Claire Farrell tells the world about the Digbeth public art project she’s involved with via the Custard Factory’s blog. ‘The final piece, she says, will be “181 linear meters spanning Mill Lane, Bradford St and Rea Street, standing at lowest point 2.2 meters per sculpture/haunch and rising to 6 meters tall” and is due to be finished next Autumn.’ You can also read the artist’s statement by Rob Colbourne & Stuart Mugridge, which is lots of serious writings about ‘Industriality’, ‘Movement and Flow’, ‘Transparency’ and ‘Colour and Finish’. Or you could just watch the telly film like me and see that it has much pretyy, being see-through with red flections.
- No need to go beyong the Custard Factory for your Chistmas shopping. Go to World of Homoeopathy for gift vouchers or treatment vouchers for Reiki, Hair Analysis and Homoeopathic Consultations. Get some hand-made Xmas cards from Cinnamon Aitch and if you’re after something really special, order some seriously personalised Kings of Neon footwear from Looks Can Kill.
- Birmingham St Patrick’s Festival invites you all to meet the new 2009 Festival Committee. – ‘It will be an informal gathering on Sunday 14th December from 2 – 4pm in the Main Bar of the Irish Club, Digbeth. Say hello and let us know what you would like to see in the Parade and Festival in March 2009.’
- Fused Magazine – Eastside Projects – Fay Khan writes her thoughts about a visit to Eastside Projects, where everything is art, down to the door handle, which never I never realised before. ‘It felt invigorating to be joining an exhibition as it is being created, as its narrative is being written. This growth process allows a new aspect of exhibition creating to come to the fore, exposing all involved to the fact that no matter how much planning is carried out, no one can really read the final chapter until Eastside Projects has written it.’
