Today in the city of Leicester they has been a public sculpture erected in the City Centre, to commemorate the arrival of Roy Hodgson to the England team. Local officials say “we commissioned the public sculture as a gift to the England fans, and hope that it will help Roy to feel welcome in his new role.”
The berlin-based Artist ‘Jonathan Ryall’ takes his inspiration from the everyday, and embarks on the creation of abstract artwork to reflect the mood of the general public.

“A Vanilla Galleries project, featuring work by newly formed international art collective, Trans-Europe-Xpress-Urself.
Born due to the necessity to fill the gallery space with something which resembles artwork. A collaboration between artists on opposite sides of the continent, TEXU will be altering the function of the gallery and reducing it to the status of a corridor full of obstacles.”
Miss the opening night? Never mind, you can still come and see our latest show at Two Queens from tomorrow.
We’re open Thursday to Saturday, 12 til 6, and on until the 21st.

Hopefully, you all heard about Vanilla Galleries acceptance into the upper realms of the contemporary art scene. We are participating with a national project called ‘The Space’, for the first time we have the freedom and support to do what we do on a much bigger scale.
The live part of ‘The News’ will run from 1st – 7th May, and will be an experimental project mashing-up digital technologies up with the people who are are art-making, to create an online-live-art experience, in depth response to online news content and the most contemporary exhibition in art history!
The site has just gone up, for a teaser go have a look… thenews.vg

Before they start to think we had forgotten, we wanted to recognise the help we were given in the production of the first exhibition from the kind people at Phoenix Square and Jigsaw Events for lending us their time, expertise and wiggly benches.

2 Queen street, leicester – for some more of this.
While we sit and think about how our new website will look and function we have put up a bit more of a relevant site to what we are up to now…which, if you have not heard, is occupying a gigantic warehouse space in Leicester (2queens).
This new (temporary) website links to the website of this space (2queens) and conveniently to the exhibition we are currently working on that opens on the 9th March (Splash-Waterfalls).
Things are looking good for the new exhibition. We borrowed a climbing frame.
