Late Night Art: Review

Last Thursday was late night art. The crew got together -first stop was the Naughton gallery checking out the work by CETL(NI): The Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning in the Creative and Performing Arts at Queen's. It was dead when we got there. It was around 6.30 when we arrived. There were some visuals using light and long camera exposures.

Met up with some more mates at 7.00 at the Ormeau Baths Gallery:again it was completely dead. Couldn't believe it we were the only people there.:Where were you? It was the work by T.P Flanagan-the ground floor is a must see if you like water colour drawings of bowls. The exhibition is on till 17th of July.

The final art stop was SpaceCraft gallery were the redbull flowed. The ceramics were looking good as always. The small 30+ individual hand made bowls were one of my favorites. T. P Flanagan would be loving it. I couldn't stay longer at the culture night as I was playing basketball against another crew.

After leaving the comfort blanket of artyness, I was nearly beaten up. He was a hard lad (see above for reconstruction) with a sports bag and it was all because I was showing off my basketball skills outside Castlecourt. The confrontation goes as follows "Stop bouncing the ball" I replied "Say please" long drawn out silence "You better move" reply "ok" as I left the area feeling kojaked.

That's the last time I try to look "street" with hard lads about. I saw him the other day wearing a jazzy shirt- he looked as tough as Julian Simmons.

Tried to get into the platform gallery to see the SPOOM collectives work today. It wasn't open -does anyone know if and when it opens during the week??!

Looking forward to transbelfast's/Qft's Weeft next week, Out of Place gallery and the girl at the Ps2 gallery is looking for a job this week. I hope I will see you people about at the next cultural experience.
