A couple of weeks ago I was helping this guy Omar out with a bit of demolition and it turns out he's also working as an architect on a huge museum conversion (in a former tobacco factory) in La Reole and was planning a big night market/party in part of the building. As part of the event he offered us a corner to put on an exhibition and promote the gallery we're opening here in October. Great, apart from the fact that this was with about a weeks notice and by the Friday I had a studio full of half finished work! After two days of manic work & installation this what we ended up with...

The show was only open for one night (about 7pm to midnight) but we had a generally positive reaction with quite a few people coming over for a look and a chat.

Looks great man! Very well done for 2 days preperation; you wouldn't know if you hadn't said. Wish I could turn a show around that quickly.
