This is an exhibition at the Standpoint gallery put on by the New North Press. It’s a showcase of the work of 20 contemporary letterpress practitioners from around the world, contributions from three leading art colleges and the first eight in an ongoing series of prints with especially invited collaborators.

The private view is on Thursday 9th December and the exhibition runs until 24th December and again in January from the 4th to the 22nd 2011. Looks good, can’t wait to see the work.

Last weekend a few of us went to Amsterdam. It just happened to be the Young Turks label night at Trouw. I hadn’t been to this club before so was determined to go. It did not disappoint, one of the best clubs I have been to. The vibe was so good everyone was going for it. We turned up late and caught the start of Sampha’s set which was immense and then Jamie XX, a quality night. I recommend going to the Young Turks nights and Trouw club.
