The countdown has begun…on the 12th of March, at 6 PM, we shall be hosting the first ever opening of a Jabberwocky Series exhibition.

In preparation for the grand reveal, curator Amy Colgan, poet Alan Jude Moore and a few members of the Dodo Collective met up in the exhibition space (an empty commercial unit in the Utopian development that is Smithfield) last week to discuss the final touches for the exhibition.

Over the course of this meeting, Moore recited his poem (which was of course recorded and shall be uploaded shortly), and the rough layout of the show was discussed.

More exciting news: you, as visitor and guest of our show, will now be able to take some of the artists’ specially selected works away with you…on your USB stick! Bring along your memory keys, and you shall be awarded with the exhibition’s special features. On top of this, if you bring a spare T-shirt along, we will print something special on it for you on the night of the opening!

Also, curator Amy Colgan and artist Suzanne van der Lingen have taken a pledge to make the most awesomest baked goods for the big opening night.

Guest speaker TBA shortly. Stay tuned.
