May 4, 2024. Le Bourgeois, London. Curated by Le Bourgeois. Originally intended to be in a hotel room the show was held in an airbnb in London's Dalston but you could only see it via your phone in nearby pub.
Merlin Carpenter, Untitled, 2013. Barbed wire, dimensions variable.
Hello, I walked out to the location, hoping to catch up with people and see some work. Actually just disappointing not to see any people or artwork. I went to the web link https://evilorstupidexhibtion.blogspot.com/2024/04/blog-post.html - what is the point of asking people to go to a random pub? I'm sober and don't smoke, and really didn't want to hang around. Probably a niche joke or something, maybe everyone is jaded, but I'd just be less inclined to go to anything I saw advertised along these lines again. Sorry to just send a negative message about this, but genuinely pretty annoying.
