  Natalia Goncharova exhibition at Tate Modern review *****

  Natalia Goncharova Tate Modern, 26th August 2019 Right cards on the table. If I don’t start getting a move on I am never going to catch up in terms of documenting my cultural adventures on this blog, Which would render it even more pointless and too much of a chore.…

But…

  Isle of Dogs film review ****

  Isle of Dogs, 12th April 2018 Many, many years ago, just after the London Docklands Development Corporation was set up in 1981 I had cause to visit the Isle of Dogs, the real one, as part of my academic studies. It was a desolate sh*thole then, with all due respect…

  Hope to Nope exhibition at the Design Museum review ****

  Hope to Nope: Graphics and Politics 2008-2018 The Design Museum, 2nd April 2018 I have banged on before about how satisfying a trip to the Design Museum can be, for the building, (specifically that beautiful roof), the permanent collection and the exhibitions.
