current + upcoming publications + events

What with Christmas, New Year and all-round laziness I haven't posted for a few days. Here are some current and upcoming publications and events that might be of interest.

The latest issue of Department is now available. You can buy your copy here. I haven't actually bought mine yet - so leave one for me will you?

Available online is the latest issue of Ekleksographia titled after oulipo. The picture below is a detail from David Miller's Untitled (Visual Sonnet) #11 used as a cover image for the issue.

Lee Machell has a new exhibition opening at Untitled Gallery in Manchester this weekend. Drawings & Matches opens this Saturday with a preview on Friday from 6-9pm. The exhibition is open from 8 January - 20 February 2011.

Chinese Arts Centre have some interesting events lined up for Chinese New Year running from 11 January - 5 February.

The Other Room 22 happens on 2 February with Andrea Brady, Stephen Emmerson, Jow Lindsay and Posie Rider. It should be an excellent night. It's certainly an impressive line-up.

The following day sees the return of Counting Backwards with our fifth (fifth!) event. James Davies, Philip Davenport, Juxtavoices and Helen Shanahan perform.
