    MOM exhibition at the Sauce Gallery

    MOM exhibition at the Sauce Gallery

    On Saturday I paid a visit to the Custard Factory to check out the MOM exhibition in the Sauce Gallery, which is well worth a look if you get the chance.  I also hoped to pick up some vintage treats in Urban Village‘s new store in the Zellig building, which laid on quite a large-scale Modfest for its opening that day.

    Gibb Street was packed with incredibly sharp dressers, who could barely move for mopheads.

    Shoppers even got to enjoy some lovely live music in the sunshine.

    A good time was had by all, especially Urban Village’s Frankie Johns.

    Birthday cake

    Today is Digbeth is Good’s second birthday!  Please join me for celebration drinkies and a slice of the above cake, lovingly made by Mrs Rawlins.  We’ll be in The Spotted Dog from 6pm this evening.

    On Monday evening in The Spotted Dog there’s some Filum fun in store.  To mark June being Gypsy Roma Traveller Month we’ll be watching the documentary Pavee Ceilidh – Irish Travellers talk about their history, which will be introduced by Dr Scott Phillips of the Irish Traveller Movement in Britain. Join us in The Spotted Dog, Warwick Street at 8pm this Monday 28th June for some interesting viewing, free tea and buns and lively discussion.

    Until recently I was unaware that we’re in Gypsy Roma Traveller Month but do check the website out as there’s still some great events and exhibitions in store, such as the finals of the Travellers Got Talent competition in Stowemarket on 9th July and more locally, Nigel Dickinson’s Roma Beyond Borders exhibition at The Lighthouse, Wolverhampton until 13th August.

    MOM

    So that’s Friday and Monday with me firmly planted in my second home The Spotted Dog.  I’m planning to spend a little of the time in between checking out the MOM (Meeting Of Minds) exhibition at the Sauce Gallery, Custard Factory.  I’m also hoping to sample the delights of the newly opened Cleary’s on Moseley Street, the phoenix to rise from the ashes of the lovely pub that was demolished along with some back-to-backs on Cheapside to make way for a barren building site. Grrrr….

    Here’s some photos from Punch Records of the Mitchy Bwoy Exhibition Launch in the Sauce Gallery, Custard Factory on 14th April.  This must have been the first Digbeth barbecue of the year – a brave move that paid off with fine weather and a good turn-out.  The exhibition is in the Sauce Gallery until June.

    Here’s artist Swifty putting the finishing touches to his shop installation at the Sauce Gallery in the Custard Factory earlier today, in time for the big bash launch that’s going on as I type.  The Swifty Pop Shop brings to life his childhood memories of the 70′s village corner shop – with bad plastic toys, comic books, Subbuteo pieces and sweets to break your jaw by.  Swifty also gives us a pop-art alphabet lesson in our A, B, C.

    The Swifty Pop Shop is open until 10th January 2010.

    The Swifty Pop Shop at Sauce Gallery

    Typographer, sleeve designer and artist Swifty will be setting up The Swifty Pop Shop at the Sauce Gallery in the Custard Factory from Friday 11th December – selling originals, one off prints, T-shirts, skateboards and stickers and the like.

    The Pop Shop, which is being brought to Birmingham by Sauce Gallery and Punch Records, will feature Swifty’s Newsagents installation. This life size shop front was partly inspired by Peter Blake’s ‘Toy Shop’ and the artist’s fond memories of a local village newsagent in Lancashire. The Shop will also be home to the A-Z of Swifty Show, including pieces based around everything from Action Man to Zebedee from the Magic Roundabout.

    The Pop Shop will be at the Sauce Gallery in The Custard Factory from 11th December 2009 to 10th January 2010. For more information visit www.myspace.com/saucegallery or www.punch-records.co.uk.
