Eastside wandering...

Matt, Jason, Ed and Sam walked to The Custard Factory, bought lunch and saw a some jazzy blues musicians playing outside a new gallery.
Met Jo and Sarah from The Lombard Method on the way to Grand Union. We saw structural studio spaces within Grand Union housing practical space for eight local artists. Great design and a superb use of space... actually reminded me of one of the books discussed at Eastside Projects in the talk last night ('How to build your own Living Structures' revisited by Ken Isaacs), using a space to its full potential.

Then got shown the Project Space at Grand Union. A good sized open plan space with a great view over a skip graveyard and superb natural light.

Stopped off at IKON Eastside gallery on the way back and sat in on the video of Carl Palmer's drumming by Andrew Cross. Awesome drumming but not quite sure how I see it as art, but a really nice space.

Now back in the studios discussing plans on tomorrows opening...
