The Nicholas Building is a work of art in itself, and if you go there to visit the Collected Works bookshop, or one of the many odd little shops hidden within, you've probably come across the Viewing Space at least once.
Death and Preservation is an exhibit perfectly suited to the room and to the building. A scenario opens up as soon as you walk in; lysergic despair and cold stone on one hand, manic passion and wry whimsy on the other. The exhibit's collective use of colour is startling, perhaps more so than if exhibited in a more conventional ‘white cube’.
Group exhibit themes rarely reflect anything more than a postscript, but in Death and Preservation there is a sense of collective narrative. Intentional or not, it gives the sense that these artists aren't a crop of lo-fi experimenters, but instead something more daring, with a technical care that is so usually absent. |

No one makes mix-tapes anymore, but if they did, anything by Fionn Regan would be a good addition. In fact, we can pretty much guarantee that a track like ‘Put A Penny In The Slot’ would have your beloved-to-be drawing love hearts around your initials during biology.
Fionn’s only 25, but his sincere, storytelling style has been compared to Young, Woody Guthrie and John Lennon, and basically sounds like Bright Eyes if he didn’t whinge so much and told more stories. He’s supported Joanna Newsom and is about to tour with Midlake, so if you are into the acoustic singer/songwriter types chances are we’ve just found you your new poster-boy.
His new album may not be The End Of History that the title proclaims, but with the help of a tape-deck it could spell the End of Virginity for many a clammy-handed, lovelorn teen.

Eness have put together a virtual forest of goldfish pondcasts and hyperlinked trees, and if you can navigate past that, there’s also a design market stocked by a gaggle of Victorian designers. |
