Farewell today to American artist Lawrence Weiner (1942-2021), one of the founding figures of Conceptual art. His work was so playful and frequently just made me smile too.

@radarlboro @LboroIAS How has it been so long already? It was fantastic to be able to stage the work online. It really changed the work in new and interesting ways. Such a privilege. Thanks to @radarlboro @LboroIAS and our dedicated participants. Let’s do it again sometime!

If you haven't already, take a few mins to experience 'A Cluster of 17 Cases' from @blasttheory - until 21 October! 17cases.com A poignant and thoughtful piece about the spread of SARS in the Metropole Hotel in Hong Kong in 2003. Subtle, informative, and human.

Had I known @MrAndrewCotter was commentating the Olympic Opening Ceremony, I’d have tuned in much earlier! Always a joy.

Such narrow mindedness. Such a large blow for the future of the arts in the UK. Such a large blow to the creative industries that contribute so much to the economy each year. Such a large blow to the UK’s international reputation as a world leader in the arts.

Today, @officestudents confirmed that arts courses in English universities will have their subsidies slashed by 50% This is an unconscionable attack which will force courses to close, restrict access and undermine the huge contribution creative arts make to society

@mriainchambers This was one of my highlights of the year!

1. As another deadline for a deal with the EU sails by, there is still no sense of urgency from the UK government. It’s letting the clock run down towards the no-deal Brexit it wants. But why?
Because Brexit can best be understood as a civil war within capitalism.

An utterly essential purchase for every professional sound designer out there. EVERY sound a man will make. I'm especially drawn to 'Hard Hat' sounds 😀

'Public statues of women in the country just barely outnumber those of men named John.' A nice way to illustrate the imbalance. hyperallergic.com/586720/uk-stud…

I know official advice is fever and cough, but I have now seen so many people who think they can’t have covid and are continuing life and spreading it with some of the other symptoms.
We need to get smart about symptoms and stay at home if unwell (I know issues re work etc)
