RIP KURT COBAIN

Thursday night just gone I saw the greatest artwork of my life at Seventeen gallery, which took the form of a bench, faithfully replicated from the one that sits in Viretta Park, Seattle, overlooking the site of Kurt Cobain's suicide in 1994.

Words fall short of the intense emotions that welled up inside of me but if anyone is in London anytime soon i'd recommend visiting the show, Seventeen have been consistently out stepping most other London galleries for the past year.



The same night a painting show opened at LIMAZULU, the gallery at Rosanna's house near Manor House. In the face of having just seen the greatest art work ever, i was unable to expend much thought but based on surface impressions i'd certainly say it is worth checking out.

Chatroulette

Sometime in the next 2 weeks i'm going to install a webcam and speakers to this computer.

Mainly so people can play chatroulette but maybe people will find a more inventive use for it.

Year of the Tiger/Change

So i've made a pretty major update to the site. I felt the previous aesthetic was a bit wack, so i changed it.

The biggest change to the site is the added Shoutbox feature, it's an attempt to get you to engage (whether it be juvenile or not) with the website. Just add a name and message and it will appear instantly.

People can't be forced to use this site but if we could get people posting to this blog it would be great. Anyone that is interested can send me an email ben@vickers.tv and i shall give you the login details.
