on this week for all you indie zine, comics and book-arts types..

this was going to be a collection of stuff that i'm going to see in the next few weeks or so, but on current form, it might just be a list of stuff that you could see, if it's your sort of thing.

EXYZT, those crazy french activist-architects that brought you last year's Bankside Lido, return with the Dalston Mill (til 9th aug). as far as i can tell, it's just east of kingsland rd, north of dalston lane. open 2-10pm everyday, bar thurs-sun. the event that looks most interesting is EXYZT and celine condorelli in conversation, 2nd august.

as previously posted, current Hannah Barry Gallery exhibition Bold Tendencies III is installed in the top couple of levels of the Peckham Rye carpark (at the multiplex). complete with rooftop bar and gorgeous sunset views. til 30th sept, open 11am-10pm, Thurs to Sun.

some little installation things, called Tides and Times, at Southwark Cathedral,
Somerset House, and Southbank. with films by kids and stuff. not sure when it's on til.

the superstar pavilion - SANAA at the Serpentine - on til 18th october

now for the not-free stuff:

Richard Long at tate britain til 6th sept.

Walking In My Mind at the hayward til 6th sept.

Radical Nature at the barbican til 18th oct. last couple of things i've been to at the barbican i've been disappointed by the curating/installation/attitude. still, it sounds promising, and potentially rather relevant to next year's unit...

i can't go, cos i'm chez parents for the weekend, but i notice that Rise*, this sunday, has Sharon Jones and the DapKings playing. woo! and also other people on main stage - Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, CSS and Jimmy Cliff.
(* a music festival to promote and celebrate cultural diversity. not anti-racism ) 

unusually for me, i've been quite taken with the idea of going to see a musical. specifically, the Wizard of Oz at RFH. something rather lush about the posters. but i notice - singing and cabaret events http://www.followtheyellowbrickroad.co.uk/events.html 
starting 25th July there are performances around and about the Wizard of Oz theme. free and quite possibly, fun!

some good things: 

Richard Heeps' current exhibition is on til 25th.
