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!

Surface Gallery, Nottingham
The exhibition, Mine the Mountain, draws upon the artist’s personal experience at sites of historic trauma, such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Majdane; Ypres and Verdun, to engage in themes of the past, the present, family history, memory and the anonymous individual in history. This sits alongside an exploration of the notion of the ‘dark tourist’ (the tourist who visits sites of trauma) and the idea of tourism of the self.

Productofboy / Vicky Miller / Cristina Nualart / Andrew Gilmore / TAPE / Javier Muñoz / Elaine Wilson
Brrrrrrrr! Come in! Leave your umbrella and wellies at the door! Welcome to February's blankpages – your digital blanket of creative warmth.
Our cover art this month is by Productofboy, one of the exhibitors at Blank Media Collective's Neck of the Woods exhibition at Nexus Art Cafe in Manchester. They are a group of artists from Newcastle and Manchester, exploring perceptions of environment and urban space utilising text, video, photography, sound, electronics, installation composition and performance
Andrew Gilmore returns to our pages this month with a short story – a strange journey through a paranoid imaginative landscape, coupled with bespoke illustration from Michael Thorp.
'iFear' by TAPE is this month's mp3 – an up-tempo, hook driven beast of a track that should get your heart racing.
Poetry this month is singularly female - Vicky Miller and Cristina Nualart unabashedly discuss loneliness and PMT, and our spotlight this month features Javier Muñoz, a joyfully eclectic illustrator and artist based in Spain. Alongside his work, he talks to us about inspiration and his creative process.
Blank Media Presents... is previewed by Elaine Wilson, a writer and music blogger based in Liverpool, coupled with an interview with one of the featured bands at February's gig, Klaus Kinski.
All this and more in your monthly cultural companion, blankpages. Check it out!
