YOUNG MEN OFFER TO TAKE MGU FOR A SPIN


Staff received a very generous offer late last night, that due to under-resourcing, had to sadly decline. Three young men, all very excited, offered to take the gallery "off our hands for a week or two". Gallery staff made the decision to unhook the Gallery from their car, coming to a mutual agreement that suits our art loving fans too. The young men will call their car 'Mobile Gallery Unit' for the week, while we will be referring to the Gallery as 'Mum's car'.

GALLERY HIRES GHOSTS AND FAIRIES


Is it not more in line with the mysterious forces that guide art, that the gallery guides are also drawn from the world of the same mysteries?
For the foreseeable future we are leaving the Gallery in the hands of 3 fairies and 1 ghost.
Normal opening hours remain.

NEW EXHIBITION MILDLY MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE LAST


Contemporary artists have outlined a new set of instructions for gallery staff.
They would like to radically change the structures of presenting contemporary art, the way contemporary art is thought about and discussed, and the relationship between art works and the public. They have come up with a series of suggestions that might help, based on how people sit at their desks. First on their list was the 'suggestion' of adopting the pictured pose for office work. The artists have suggested that all offices could adopt this practice, not just curators.

We are attempting this right now.
