hmmm. tough crowd. perhaps what our friend chunder is suggesting here then is that we should all name galleries after ourselves. Now that would make for a puke-worthy boring line-up that reads like a telephone directory. Does boring beat nostalgic? i wouldnt have thought so...
Please I beg you to undertake a little of the critical thought which is, after all, what gives art its good name. The constructed 'simplicity' and fake 'honesty' of a name like 'These Four Walls' make this gallery project to the world very clearly that it is going to be showing the kind of art which dampens discussion and promotes mindless philistine valorising of very questionable assumptions about beauty, value, and meaning.
Let alone the name, what exactly is meant by the image of tastefully crumbling walls with a little designer floral thingy in the corner. It would be better if these people opened a decor shop and kept art out of it.
i suppose you're right. Next time im bottling my own turds I'll know where to go. Its a pity though. Thought there was more sense of community here, since everyone seems to know everyone else and goes to the same places. But i was confused, it's just incestuous. Im a Michaelis graduate too you know. Ive just grown up.

What a hideously pretentious nostalgic rubbish name for a gallery. Second only to that city centre restaurant called "...and lemon".

And a conservative decor shop it would be.
what if the world wanked on illustration
association of visual assholes
well if you're going to get pissed off that nobody likes your cutesy suburban shop, then advertise it on a cutesy suburban website

I thought growing up was about realising where you fit in, and accepting it without whingeing.
