blankpages Issue 20
Monday 1st Mar 2010
Ladies and Gentlemen, blankpages is 20! Can you believe it? We’ve emerged from our teens with bright, hungry eyes, and yours should be too – the treats we have in store for you this month!
Our cover art, from Adam Booth, is an image from Blank Media Collective’s second exhibition of the year (and it’s only March!) - ‘Seeing and Being Seen’ at the greenroom in Manchester - showing until 10th April.
Showcased poetry this month is from Adam Hyde, an artist based in Dudley, whose poetry is natural and beguiling, with a wonderful shade of e.e. cummings. Anna Percy chooses the English legend of the Selkie in this month’s fiction, an intriguing vehicle for transformational metaphor, and Lisa Denyer shares her utopian magical landscapes in this month’s artist’s spotlight.
Our roving reporter, Elaine Wilson returns this month reviewing Nine Doors by Levenshulme Bicycle Orchestra, who also supply this month’s psychotically aching mp3 ‘Starved Dog’.
On top of all this, blankpages catches up with the brains behind Sixty_six_events, a 24-hour global participatory art happening that challenged the very notions of performance, to share some of their inspirations and footage they have so far received from the event.
Compelling stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree!
