Very proud to see my work alongside such a great set of articles in latest @SculptureJnl addressing recent issues around public space, monuments and iconoclasm #BlackLivesMatter #iconoclasm

@outonbluesix ‘politely zany’ sums it up perfectly. BBC version of Tiswas’ genuine sense of anarchy. Even copying Tarrant’s rugby shirt!

I feel a stroll around Camden coming on.

[Modernism in Metroland @mod_in_metro]

This week we have been exploring the modernist mews house, which came to the fore in London in the early 60s as the first postwar generation of architects sought to build their own homes. Here we present 3 examples you may come across wandering around NW1

@Andr6wMale surely any more than five and a ‘one in one out’ rule has to apply?

@interestingaf I had a toy trick cane in 1979 which was exactly the same principle (hidden string running through it attached to wrist)

@BM_AG Brilliant news. it’s scandalous that one of UK greatest municipal collections has been closed for so long. Can’t wait to visit.

@schooltruth @JohnAmaechi Schools don’t have the resources (or imperatives) to provide the right support so Local Authorities are being sued by desperate parents into paying for £££ private alternative provision. There is a whole legal industry growing around this too.

@DannyDrinksWine This used to be the usp of Mubi - a new film each day so you trust their decision and try it. Forces you to try new genres, directors, countries etc Now they have changed the programming and selection it does not feel the same.

Incredibly revealing body language on #PoliticsLive - Tory lecturing the new Labour minister on prisons (!) her hand literally moves across the desk invading her space. They cannot believe they are not in charge any more.

@monstroso I did not have ‘theology lessons from Russell Brand’ on my bingo card

@DannyDrinksWine Walter Benjamin. Three operas, multiple biographies and a novella but no biopic.

@leethommo It’s an amazing sounding single but you do think ‘no way that bunch of photogenic lads happen to sound like that’

@RossLydall @GarethDennis should read ‘please do not run for the train we told you to embark 2 minutes before it leaves and is a 5 minute walk away’

@ArtReview_ Even good art looks terrible in art fairs.

@MichaelN1756 @nguyenhdi That’s a great example - the ‘ands’ and ‘leaves’ multiplying and accelerating throughout

@AbigailSusik @MamanUbu I think so yes. His great great granddaughter did the voice over for a film they made of A Berlin Childhood and was choosing her GCSES when I met her. Lovely family and I was just completely star struck as you can imagine

When Walter Benjamin had a son in 1918 he fell in love with old fashioned children's books. This is one of his favorites from his collection. It's a late 19th century German book called "The Magical
Red Umbrella," with psychedelic illustrations worthy of Henry Darger.

@AbigailSusik @MamanUbu I was fortunate to meet all of his descendants at a WB conference in Berne (they came to my paper!). Stephan ran a bookstore in London and married twice I think. They are trying to get a biography of Dora who was an amazing translator and novelist.
