NEWS
Penguin Auction completed on Friday - Splashy sold for £1600 which is good but about 1/3 had no bids. Not had any announcement from the organisers yet. The Parade in St George's Hall was nice but sad in a way.
We discuss the New look Daily Post briefly along with the new Baltic Triangle board, that's the area they used to call the artists independent district. I think I liked it more that way but I suppose no one way to support anything that had independent in it's title - it made them sound like pirates
ROUNDUP
Enjoyed the Eyewash exhibition at CUC - finishes this week (probably)
The China thru the lens exhibition at the Maritime Mus (2nd Floor) is very good and really interesting.
China: Through the Lens of John Thomson 1868 – 1872 5 February – 6 June 2010
The vanished world of Imperial China is vividly captured on glass plates by an intrepid Scottish photographer John Thomson who travelled throughout the country meeting people from all walks of life.
