HELL'S HALF ACRE
Art exhibitions that manage to inspire me to get off my lazy ass, book a flight and jet off to foreign lands are few and far between, however, I'll be making an exception for this one. Lazinc and The Old Vic Tunnels present Hell's Half Acre. Whilst the Frieze Art Fair, taking place the same weekend, is my real idea of the eighth level of hell, Lazinc go the whole hog and provide us with the full nine. Quite a few Nuart friends and tunnels rats, including David Choe and Vhils have already finished their contribution, can't wait to see what's in store. It's rare that galleries get down and dirty and deep into production values beyond banging a nail in the wall and hanging a framed piece. Be good to see how the concept plays out. Divine ? Comedy ? or both..
