60 Minute Art-Over

'60 Minute Makeover’ - a workshop led by the NO collective

Based on the popular television series ‘60 Minute Makeover’ participants will be challenged to curate The Outback Art House exhibition in just 60 minutes. Watch out for the film crew who will be interviewing, distracting and recording you!



NO in The Outback Art House


Working with a team of Media Studies students from Havering College in Essex, the NO collective created a performative and participatory artwork in the midst of a pre-arranged Curation workshop for Foundation art & Design Students. This intervention, set to push students further into the deep end of the art world was conducted within 60 minutes and was fast paced, disruptive, confusing and humerus for all involved.


The piece was developed alongside the pre-existing project 'The Outback Art House' which was questioning sence of place in the local town, as well as in this bizarre restaurant gallery setting.


The project pushed both students and practitioners in an exhibition displaying no less than 100 works created over 6 weeks by professional artists, designers and students. 60 Minute Art Over, a development of 'No Show' which was held at a residential location previously pushed No to work with unfamiliar format with filming and direction from the media students, however this proved satisfying with a true account of collaboration within NO's practise.

Local people become ‘Artists in residence’ through new project aimed at bringing art and wellbeing to Havering homes. Over the past week, hundreds of ‘Home Inside-Out’ creativity guides have been hand-delivered to Havering residents to help locals spruce up their homes and explore their local neighborhoods through new ‘post-lockdown’ eyes.   Created by architecture studio WSMS, this guide gives handy tips to create inspired spaces within your home without having to spend any money, and offers fantastic family ideas of how to get out and about to explore your town as an ‘Urban Investigator’.   ‘Home-Inside Out’ is the first of a series of initiatives that local arts Organisation ‘The NO Collective’ will be running throughout the summer called ‘ourNEST‘, a programme highlighting the work of great local artists, and helping residents find inspiration from their homes and towns. “You may have seen a 6ft Bird House’ being erected outside the ASDA queue in The Mercury in Romford” sa...

Review: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾

Image
 On Wednesday the 4th of May I had the pleasure of attending The Queens Theatre's production of T he Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾.  I would like to preface this review by saying that as a 22 ¼ year old, I came into this show knowing next to nothing about the source material, yet this didn't negatively impact my experience at all. Indeed, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ is a musical that is fun for all generations, even if you're a bit too young to have seen the original series (or to have been alive in the 80's).  The musical was originally written by Jake Brunger with music and lyrics by Pippa Cleary. Whilst the show doesn't necessarily have a strictly linear plot and the story doesn't have the highest of stakes, its simplicity adds to the charm of the production. It truly feels like we are reading Adrian's diary, snippets of a young boys life, which of course wouldn't entail high scale adventures but everyday issues, such as puberty, d...

Play Review: The Witchfinder's Sister

Image
The Witchfinder's sister is a chilling tale based on the real life witch hunts of Thomas Hopkins. It was first written by Beth Underdown and was later adapted for the stage by Vickie Donoghue. The play tells the tale of Alice Hopkins an intelligent and independent woman who returns to her Essex home after a personal tragedy. Upon her arrival she finds her once beloved brother to be a Witchfinder and embroiled in a dark conspiracy against the women of the area. Alice embarks on a mission to put an end to the hysteria and save the women she knows to be innocent, attempting to save her brother's soul in the process.  Through the use of names and locations most associated with the 1600's witch hunts the story is instantly chilling before the production has even begun. This sense of fear and terror is added to throughout the production through the intense plot, filled with great moments of suspense and an ongoing mystery which allows the audience to unravel the conspiracy...
