A rather wonderful exhibition at an abandoned corner shop in Bethnal Green, East London by British artist and knitting-nut Lucy Sparrow.

The Corner Shop (initially funded by a Kickstarter campaign)  is stocked with a display of 4,000 hand-sewn felt products that took seven months to assemble. Open through August, everything is available to purchase online.

“Roll Pt. II” is the second of 2 videos/singles released this summer from Bantum.
The video is directed by J Cooper and filmed in New York, and the song features Eimear O’Donovan and Owensie on vocals.”

“Is there any regulation that prevents landlords/letting agents lying about the address of a property? This is the second house on Parnell Road that I’ve seen advertised recently as Dublin 6w, but Parnell Road is in Dublin 12….”

Anyone?
