‘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.

Craftspace Craft Collective | Created in Birmingham – News that Craftspace will be in the Custard Factory’s Vaad Gallery on Saturday 23rd January, 12-6pm with a ‘Craft Collective event aimed at encouraging young people from inner-city Birmingham to develop their interest in craft.’ Craftspace say the project will ‘focus on ideas of guerrilla craft, DIY Craft and Craftivism’, which isn’t how I traditionally think of craft activities because I’m an old fuddy-duddy, so I’m guessing it’s a nice and fresh approach.

Fazeley Tenants – Krokodil Erkannt Fazeley Studio Komplex! – Those crazy Birmingham Art Zine (BAZ) kids seem to have infiltrated the Fazeley Tenants blog with warnings of wild animals on the lose.
Catch these somewhat subversive ARTISTS at their launch night on 5 November at The White Swan in Digbeth, 6-9pm. They’ll also be taking part in Grand Union’s artists’ publishing fair as part of The Event on 6 November 12-9pm. For more information about BAZ see their website (take the time to read the PDF’s, they’re very funny) and the recent Created in Birmingham post.
Fazeley studios were vacant yesterday, and cordoned off by RSPCA officers in riot gear, after a crocodile was spotted in the studio of design agency ‘Noodle’ emerging from an air conditioning vent. The croc was thought to have been there from Fazeley Street’s previous use as a reptile-training centre in the 1990s when the economic boom saw a dramatic rise in exotic pets. During the mid 90s it was estimated that there were approximately 3000 crocodiles or alligators being kept as household pets in Birmingham. The studio’s were closed for four days as officers searched for the crazy croc, causing severe disruption to businesses and ARTISTS alike. After four days of searching, the croc was nowhere to be seen. RSPCA officers, satisfied that the croc must have left of its own accord via a back door waterslide, let the creative types back in to continue their doodling and chatting. This is yet another problem for studio provision in the city. Not only are many of them cold and damp – with ARTISTS priced out of alternatives – but the wild animal problem is exacerbating rapidly. If you’ve spotted a wild animal in your studio let BAZ know immediately. Together we can beat this problem. BAZ have set up an emergency funds appeal – The BAZ Wild Animal Van Appeal – to raise money to buy a BAZ van and employ a wild animal hunter to eradicate these dangerous creatures.
