As Albert once said: wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it. And it's with this spirit that we finish at 2pm on the last Friday of every month to collectively visit an exhibition or museum of choice. The shared experience helps define the beliefs and vision of the studio and the shared bottle of wine afterwards helps encourage a rigorous critique.
Going out with a bang get along to see Mike Ballard's immersive, monochromatic piece filling The Arts Gallery in Mayfair before it's demolished to make way for the new Cross Rail system. This transient artwork which combines painting and 'digital fresco' takes you on a wildly skewed, graffiti-style journey through art history, and is an elaborate send off to a space which has exhibited some of art's major players in it's time.
The All Of Everything is at The Arts Gallery, 65 Davies Street, London, W1 10am-6pm Mon-Sat until February

You dont make good design if you speak about design. You make good design if you speak about sex, flesh, sweat... Philippe Starck overflowing with bon mots in BBC2s new series Design For Life. Loving it!

Yellow days and long restless nights. Abandoning the scarves and long wooly tights. Stripping the layers pink flesh fill the streets. Little red lobsters line up on Brighton Beach. Its well hot, Im boiling we love to complain. The sun is shining we still love to complain. Park life, Wimbledon, it's Pimms oclock. Magners Cider, oversized sunglasses, flipity flip-flops. Long lazy evenings, the Great British pride. Music and festivals, the Glastonbury mud-slide. Notting Hill carnival, jerk chicken and rice. Brick Lane adventures through Bollywood spice. The Great British Summer spreads all over the land. It's fantastic, it's ours and it's totally grand!
