Who do voo doo?

Here's my little review from the Tate St Ives Dark Monarch show.

If you're still feeling a bit black before Halloween, head to The Stags Head on Sunday for Voodoo, which includes work by Levack and Lewandowski (click images to enlarge)

The next ten days...

Off to Tate St Ives tomorrow to see the awesome sounding Dark Monarch and eat a pasty by the seaside. And what a line up: Graham Sutherland, Paul Nash, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, John Piper, Mark Titchner, Eva Rothschild, David Noonan, Steven Claydon, John Stezeker, Linder, Derek Jarman etc

After that I'll be blogging about Frieze et al next week on Dazed Digital, if you want to hear my exploits... I can't believe it's already been 12 months since last year...
