When it's 9am and you forgot the library doesn't open until 10.

Lawyers in meetings Who look just like kittens Folks in pyjamas And sweatshirts and mittens Silvery backdrops And fake booklined rooms These are a few Of my favourite Zooms.

Something beautiful has arrived by post. Super excited to have been the subject for David Hopkins beautifully written coda for his wonderful new book ‘Dark Toys – surrealism and the culture of childhood’ published by @yalebooks LAn absolute cracker. ☄️Available to pre-order now!

I am LOVING David Hopkins thrilling re-reading of surrealism through the prism of childhood and the toy. An original and exciting contribution to this area. A tour de force - beautifully designed and illustrated too by Yale University Press London 📖

Condolences to Sissy Rosa and to Severin Carrell on the passing of Chris Carrell who was instrumental with the establishment of the then Third Eye Centre in Glasgow, an innovative and experimental model for international exchange and dialogue.

‘There was a time not so long ago when everything was recognizable not just as a cup or a coat, but as a cup made by so-and-so out of clay from this bank on the local river or woven by the guy in that house out of wool from the sheep visible on the hills.’ dialogic.blogspot.com/2005/07/www.or…

Full marks. 👏👏👏

The Media Wall The Photographers' Gallery has been such an absolutely key commissioner of digital practice over the last decade. Heaps of gratitude to katrina sluis & sam mercer 🤦 for their amazing contributions 🌟🌟🌟

Following our recent submission to the Scottish Parliament Culture Committee’s inquiry into culture budgets in Scotland, we are extremely disappointed to report that the £6.6m budget has not been included in the Autumn Budget Revisions. Read our update: creativescotland.com/news-stories/l…

NEW: The Campaign for the Arts has launched a petition, urging Angus Robertson and the Scottish Government to deliver the £6.6m they promised to Creative Scotland in February. Especially now, Scotland's arts and culture needs backing, not broken promises. campaignforthearts.org/petitions/scot…

Depressing u-turn from Scottish Government this week with massive and unsustainable cuts to Creative Scotland funding. Who the world over doesn’t know and value Scotland for its distinctive culture - for it’s music, literature and visual arts. A dangerous and short-sited move
