My good friend and co-designer of t-shirts, Nico Yates has managed to get himself a solo show at The Fleapit, a bar/gallery venue in Old Street.
He will be exhibiting under his tag name, “=SPICO=”.
The Private View for his show is tomorrow night and he has asked me to let you all know about it. Not only is his work very good, but he will also be responsible for the music and general ambience of the whole evening at the Private View. During the rest of the show’s duration, you’ll only be able to see the works in the bar area, so for the full =SPICO= experience, you’ll have to be there tomorrow night. It’ll be a great event for all you Londoners who haven’t managed to get away for the Easter weekend.
The venue is The Fleapit in North London (details here.)
Nico’s Flickr Page is here.
He is also one of the artists who exhibited in Beyond The Wilderness.
The show is on from 6pm FRIDAY 21ST MARCH until TUESDAY 15TH APRIL, Private View Friday the 21st March 6pm – 11pm

So, re: my last post: I’ve been chasing up artists to appear in Beyond The Wilderness – the show that I’m curating..
Time for a little rant: Way back when I was a young artist straight out of art school (far too long ago..!) If someone had presented me with an opportunity to exhibit on a plate, then I would have jumped at the opportunity like a grasshopper off a trampoline.
So why are people so reticent now? Some of the people I invited to exhibit have known for months that we’re doing a show, and now – 1 month before the show starts – I get:
“Ermmm… uhh.. I haven’t really ummm got anything to show..uhhh.”
Well, fuck ’em.
There are plenty of other artists out there queueing up for the opportunity to show.
Good people.
Who know what they’re doing.
Like this lot:
So far we’ve got :
Jonny Baker
Clayton Sinclair
Alison Lilley Berrett
Jo Paul
Nico Yates
Geoff Plant
ASBO
Tim Dendy
My Good Self
Adam Boulter
My Dog Sighs
I think its shaping up to be a great show. My only worry is that its mostly men, and mostly all white. It would be nice to get more of a balance. If there’s anyone out there who can fulfill the brief of the show, then let me know.
Remember, readers of this blog are most welcome to come to the Private View on Wed. 13th February, 6-9pm
Details are on the Moot Community Arts Website
