I've written FAN FICTION about a REAL ARTIST. You can find the written version of this text here, and you can see which artist I'm talking about in the axe to hot dogs to maggot pipeline video that inspired the fiction here on YouTube or TikTok. Apologies.

This week's text is about all the art on the Underground, London's public transport network. A kind of love letter to it all, but also thinking about art's role in public life!

Israel continues to commit horrific acts of violence and genocide against the Palestinian people, Gaza is still under blockade and potentially facing a ground invasion. Please email ur MP, if you haven't already, and ask them to call for a ceasefire & to stop the war in Gaza.

ALSO! on the subject of art x public transport: Banner Repeater is an artist-led contemporary art space & artists' publishing archive, they're based on platform 1 at Hackney Downs station -- at the moment they're doing some fundraising to cover running costs & repairs. You can buy an artist print, here's one of mine actually from back when i was an artist!!! -- very limited edition and rare! because the un-Publish project I did with them was my last project as an artist! If that's not ur bag, there are other prints available on their online shop. And if you'd rather just sling over a cute fiver and call it a day, they're taking donations on Open Collective. B/R are a non-profit and do some really cool work, & small orgs do not receive nearly as much public funding as they should! so **thank you** in advance for helping to support artist-led publishing!

Finally, **thank you to Jessica Vaughan from Art on the Underground for taking the time to speak to me -- our interview was the basis for this text.** If you've never noticed the art on the underground -- AotU have got an ART MAP!!!, but you can also have a look through their project archive.

Did you know Nando’s has the biggest collection of contemporary Southern African art in the world? In this week’s SPECIAL episode, we have partnered with Nando’s to look into their massive patronage of the arts. Over the past 20 years, they’ve purchased over 28,000 thousand pieces! Why??? We meet with 3 artists in South Africa who have benefitted from this support — Nkosinathi Quwe, Colijn Strydom, and Viven Kohler — and we speak to Cape Town arts organisation Spier Arts Trust who run multiple artist development programmes sponsored by Nando’s. We hope you enjoy the conversations!! Full transcript on our website here 🌶 Leave a chilli emoji in the comments on our instagram once you’re done listening :D

Ty to Hyphen for putting us in touch w the nice people at Nando’s!!! If you can’t tell already, this is HUGE for us. huge I tell ya

Did you know: the BA Fine Art has only been around since 1972. What happened before that? The apprentice in the Master's workshop, the guilds, the Academies, the technical colleges and Bauhaus: how did we get here? Where did art degrees come from and how did artists learn to be artists throughout the entirety of art history?
