Frieze week has been and gone for another year and the art fair circus moves on to another city. I always enjoy my trip to Frieze, even though it is a massively overwhelming experience, there is just so much art. It's always an inspiration. When I...
Whilst in Glasgow I went to see the Turner Prize which is at the Tramway this year. I took my parents along with me for the adventure as they had never been there before. First up The Turner Prize. I read this really good review in the...
