Emma Geliot's Venice marathon continues with old teeth, new money and lots of gin… |

After many sufferings, Emma Geliot launches herself on the opening week of La Biennale di Venezia. 33 hours on a bus – our gizzards dehydrated to biltong by the air con. Stops of indeterminate length every two and a half hours. Long enough to pee? To eat? Have a coffee? Sometimes enough to smoke three fags while weighing up what might be possible. |

Dom Coyote presents a delicious slice of folk, with veins of hip hop, ska and other plundered nourishments running through it. A friendly man in a hat with a spellbinding love for books and ambitious theatrical pursuits, he has everything in the gun cabinet to air his big ideas. |

Mankind. What a strange insect. Order, a regular order is imposed; Nests are built, they are built In rows. Every scrap of metal, Wood, is found a place, made of use; |

Billboards are part of the daily visual landscape that are as ephemeral as they are easy to overlook. Alistair Owen, a former sculpture student from University of Wales Institute Cardiff (UWIC), won a Safle Graduate Award 2009/2010 to explore the possibilities of negotiating art in spaces that were not galleries, nor sites intended for monumental artworks. |
