Good Press is a new outlet, based in Mono (temporarily, while they find a permanent space), from this Friday the 7th October, starting with the first exhibition, The Family Show.

The Family Show will be exhibiting 30 UK and International artists (two of which; Oliver Pitt and Jess Copsey, are recent GSA graduates) who mostly work with illustration and painting. It’s also a fundraiser for their permanent space, with all the original works being available for £30 for those who may wish to buy them!

In the bookshop there will be a large variation of different independent & self-published books, zines and other printed and handmade things. All Com Des people are invited to attend, more background info here. If you’re interested in selling zines etc, they’ve asked interested parties to get in touch directly, just via that web link, that one, back there.

Charm Sadly Missing?

Published by Walter Hamilton on October 1, 2011 in Architecture, Education and News. 2 Comments

Interesting article in today’s Guardian about the new building for Central St Martins in London. While there’s a nice mention of the Mackintosh building, the most interesting bit (for me) is a comment from one of CSM’s current students (called Tuesday Rigby, no joke); “We’re worried that it’s lost its charm…”

Will be worth keeping an eye on how CSM’s shiny new premises affects its students and staff and understanding any issues that may be echoed in the new GSA building.
