Leigh Clarke - Love

The trouble with a lot of contemporary art, and also with so much of the media, is it so often focuses on the negative aspects of modern life. Important stuff I know, but it can get you down, especially since a trip to a gallery is supposed to be an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

That’s probably why I was so taken with Leigh Clarke’s Hackney Gazette posters, which put good news headlines in place of bad. Hackney Gazette is my local rag, so I am used to seeing these posters up around the place, too often with stories of stabbings, scandals or suchlike.

Leigh Clarke - Couple

These are on show as part of the No Letters exhibition at Nettie Horn, 25b Vyner St, London, E2 9DG in Bethnal Green, until 21 April.

That looks like a lot of fun. It just reminds me that newstands don’t exist here like that as there’s no real national paper - and you can buy the paper out of those box thingies. Weird.

I like the newspaper bix thingies - they’re sweet! I miss America, as it’s about a year since I visited you, Mo.

That’s a lovely exhibition, Jo - the thought of it makes me smile.

Come back and see me! I know it’s expensive but I’ll feed you and make you a bed of some sort……
