The Tale of Angelino Brown
In this hilarious yet touching story from the masterful David Almond, life takes a surprising turn after a bus driver finds a tiny boy angel in his pocket. Do you believe in angels? Bert and Betty Brown do, because Bert discovered one in his shirt pocket the other day while he was driving his bus. All of a sudden they had a little boy of their very own to care for — how heavenly! Bert and Betty’s friends think Angelino is lovely. So do Nancy and Jack and Alice from school. But the Head Teacher, Mrs. Mole, is not so sure. Neither is Professor Smellie. And who is the mysterious Man in Black who claims to be a School Inspector? Or the big, lumbering Basher Malone? What could all these sneaky adults possibly have against such a perfect little angel?

You Are an Artist
You Are an Artist is for everyone who wants to be an artist, but has been too afraid to take the plunge. It combines a thought-provoking meditation on art practice with a series of practical exercises and creative provocations that encourage everyone to fulfil their potential as an artist. The book is itself a kind of art school, helping the reader to work out what kind of artist they are, and what they can achieve. Drawing on the authors experience as an art school teacher, it playfully adapts the methods of art education, mixing these with the sideways approach to creativity popularized by the authors activist campaigns. Smith provides an array of ideas, tips and practical examples, illust...

Home
Realising that dialogue can only emerge out of shared interests and concerns, 'home' expands upon the uncertainties of belonging precisely at a time when these concepts are being reformulated by the persistent pressures of ethnicity, race, nationalism, and globalism. The exhibition develops from the social, artistic and historical particularities of South Africa and Western Australia. It attempts to destroy the disjunctions of distance and open up a trans-regional conversation between artists. Particular artists, works and practices are woven into dialogues, conversations and exchanges sustained beyond notions of territories and borders.
