The above image was my first installation of the year, back in January. It is available in a few formats at Andipa Gallery, including a small print on aluminium and a large-scale print in an edition of 7.

A bit of an update on upcoming shows...


Tonight, Thursday 4th March, sees the opening of the Skullduggerous group show in aid of the Bhopal Medical Appeal. The show is held at The Pure Evil Gallery in Leonard Street, London and is open until the 13th March. I have a new installation in the show, titled 'Chicken Tikka Disasta'... Other contributors include Swoon, Pure Evil and The Krah amongst many others - you can see some work from the show here. Check it out if you can - it is for a great cause.


Last summer I installed a number of installations around the grounds of the English Heritage house Belsay Hall, just outside of Newcastle. The photography of these will be part of the show Extraordinary Measures, which opens at Belsay on May 1st 2010, along with work by artists such at Ron Mueck, Matt Collishaw and Tessa Farmer. More information and images closer to the time....

And below are a few books that i have been featured in recently and which i would recommend to decorate coffee tables and make yourself look interesting and arty.

After a very long break from updating the blog comes a SUPER POST! Four updates in one. Woo! Two are previously unposted shots from the 'Men of Tomorrow' series (Vigilante Justice being a shot that wasn't included in the show last year), and two are from Fame festival last September (These two are currently available as large limited prints and aluminiums from Andipa.) New images are coming soon too, now the weather isn't so cold and wet and the little people can glue to the pavement without falling over.
The main site, slinkachu.com, will be updating soon too with image from last years shows.

Another installation from this year's Fame Festival. This was placed near the local fly-tipping area and dog pound - the high life indeed! This has just been released as a print on metallic paper, signed and numbered. Find out more here.
The image is also available in a very limited, very large format through Andipa Gallery.

I've just got back from Grottaglie in Italy where i was working on some installations and shots
for Fame Festival, such as the one above which i think is probably the biggest outdoor thing that i have done (big being relative, of course). For the last three months, urban artists from around the world have been coming to Grottaglie to produce street and gallery work for a show that opens on 19th September, and to eat great home-cooked Italian food supplied by the organiser's mum. You can read more about the festival and see more work by a bunch of great artists (such as Judith Supine, Lucy McLauchlan, Mark Jenkins, Dolk, Blu, Conor Harrington and many many more) by clicking the logo.

My new solo show 'Whatever Happened to the Men of Tomorrow?' opens on Thursday 4th June at Andipa Gallery in London. It features brand new images of installations that I have been placing around London over the past year. It runs until the 27th June. More images to follow over the next couple of weeks....

Another shot of one of my Tunnel 228 installations. This one is crammed in a dark corner away from the main 'action'. All the installations feature shift workers or night workers of one sort or another; the people who keep things running in a city behind the scenes, in reference to the workers in the film Metropolis who slave away below ground to keep the city running for those above...

Sorry to those who couldn't get tickets - they sold out very quickly but the show might be restaged in the Autumn.

I've been working on some installations for a new art/theatre show that opens this week. The show is called Tunnel 228 and is being organised jointly by The Old Vic theater and Punch Drunk, an alternative theatre company. What makes the show so exciting is that is set in old disused tunnels under Waterloo station in London that are normally not open to the public. The show uses Fritz Lang's classic film Metropolis as a springboard and is half an art show, with works by Antony Micallef, Mark Jenkins, Polly Morgan and Xenz amongst many others, and half a performance. I have hidden miniature installations around the space, lit with tiny lights - you will have to explore to find them. Tickets are free, but you will have to book online to reserve a place --------->Sorry, seems the tickets have sold out!

In other news my next solo show is coming up soon, but before that something pretty cool will be happening next week...
