Bunny Mazhari - My Mental Detritus

I've always liked Bunny's work and this is a short film showing a very small selection of her mammoth collection of moleskin sketchbook work... It takes her a mere 8 - 12 weeks to fill these 100+ page Sketchbooks.



For more of her work follow the link- Bunny Mazhari Myspace

Secret History

Exhibition south of the river from a few of my old Chelsea college mates well worth the venture...


Secret History

‘The Enlightenment never went away, the points of contestation changed.”
- Dan Smith

Join five up and coming artists on a radical journey through the Market Gallery as they explore the role of the Enlightenment in humanities history and it’s potential to shape our future. By following echoes of the Utopian impulse throughout the literature and cinema of Science Fiction these Chelsea and St Martins graduates strive to resolve the conflict between idea and application through hopeful counter narratives of undiscovered histories and imagined futures.

Taking it’s name from the Anecdota of Procopius of Caesarea, ‘Secret History’ is the first in a series of unique exhibitions that unpick and reposition the thresholds
between art, science and progress, relentlessly pitting the relationship between science and meaning against the frameworks of history and ideology in order to present the viewer with a useful, resistant and hopeful realm of impulses.
