Art Review: A Serious Waste of Time
In his first solo exhibition, artist Andy Abbott comments on the distinction and interaction between work and play. Showing how work often occupies every aspect of life, Abbott takes activities such as swimming in Shipley Pool, walking up Baildon Hill or playing in a DIY punk band and transforms these into his artwork. The work combines sound, video, photography and prints.

Art Exhibition: ‘Fancy and Imagination: Beardsley and the Book Illustrators’
A new exhibition detailing the life and work of Aubrey Beardsley opens at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery this week, showcasing various examples of work from one of the most eminent illustrators at the end of the Nineteenth Century. Set in context with other artists of the time (Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, Kate Greenaway and Jessie M King), the exhibition also focuses on the abundance of illustration between 1890 and the 1920s, and Beardsley’s fundamental place within this much wider arena.
