‘SUR-FACE’ | Created in Birmingham – Chris Unitt’s spotted the forthcoming art exhibition SUR-FACE at The Works Gallery on Pershore Street from next Tues 23 Feb.
The ‘SUR-FACE’ exhibition represents a visual response to the word ‘surface’. The theme captures the essence of the exhibition as the ambiguities of the word ‘surface’ allows for wider expression and interpretation of the concept.
Exhibition is on display Tues 23rd-Thurs 25th Feb 9.30am-4.45pm, with a private view on 23rd Feb 5.30-9pm.

Birmingham contemporary art museum | Created in Birmingham – There’s a feasibility study to complete and some budgeting to be done but it looks like, if it happens, ‘Tate Birmingham’ could well be in Digbeth – on the site of the wholesale markets, if Councillor Martin Mullaney’s musings are anything to go by. The Birmingham Central blog have picked up on this:
With the Wholesale Markets moving and a large space being created it would offer a central focal point to attract visitors to the Southside area and build on the creativity of Digbeth.

Some thoughts on Birmingham’s music scene | Created in Birmingham – It’s not a pretty picture, I’m afraid. But it does include the news that UB40 will be playing a one-off gig at The Rainbow on 3 November to raise money for a new roof on the building in an attempt to reduce outside noise (and noise abatement orders). It’s unclear where people can obtain tickets yet.
