Some roots and culture for you today, but in reverse order.
Culture. My old friend The Polymath Steve Perfect (which is his official name) has an exhibition of some of his drawings starting tomorrow at the Stone Space gallery in Leytonstone. I was at the private launch last night, very good it was too. If you are in the area any weekend between now and 1 June make sure to pop in.
Unfortunately the photos I took at the launch didn't come out very well so here is an exterior view taken a couple of hours later after a visit to a nearby public house.
Roots. A couple of tunes from Michael Prophet's great self-titled album from 1981. You may know it as "Gunman", the name that has been used on most reissues. Mr Prophet sadly died eight years ago after battling lung cancer and other ailments but left us a magnificent legacy.
"Gunman" - Michael Prophet
"Guide And Protect You" - Michael Prophet
Other Perfects and Prophets are available.
Surely some creative has had the inspired idea to lock the doors of an exhibition so that their work can only be viewed through a window outside of the building? If not, I’m sure they soon will.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the tunes, especially Michael Prophet.
It does sound like something that must have been tried before. My not very extensive research only turned up this article about viewing art in Portsmouth during lockdown:
