Pinboard: Kentish Town Road is Going Green. Plus – A Reader vs Greggs!



3. A Major New Show at Zabludowicz

Zabludowicz

Painting from the Zabludowicz Collection: Part I kicks off tonight, 7pm, at the vast converted Methodist chapel on Prince of Wales Road. This series of exhibitions will celebrate painting as one of the most important and accessible approaches to making art, and, following the Collection’s ethos, will introduce two new artists to UK audiences (Francesca DiMattio and Matthew Chambers), paired with internationally acclaimed Albert Oehlen.

DiMattio will present both her paintings and sculptures which deconstruct elements derived from fashion, design and art history, while Chambers, a Los Angeles-based painter is known for colourful and bold works. Finally Oehlen’s exhibition will present a range of works spanning the past three decades, including his “intense investigations of the limits of painting, from oil painting to spray paint, to collage and relief work”.

The show opens tomorrow, with Oehlen’s work (above) being displayed until 11th August, with DiMattio and Chambers shown until the 5th of May.

  1. £1.35 your answer lies there. A quality product at the right temperature with pleasant service is not possible at that price. We need to start realising that food is to cheap. You’ll be complaining about the meat quality and extra ingredients used next.

      1. Also if they’re too hot there’s the chance of scalding the roof of your mouth thus ruining the enjoyment of your bake/pie/pasty. long live cold pies!

  2. What a ridiculous middle class pile of tosh.
    Firstly, could you not tell through the paper bag that it was cold?? Perhaps it was warm in the shop but after a 10 minute walk with it it had gone cold??
    But anyways, if you go to Greggs as much as you make out you’ll know they don’t sell “hot food”, they sell freshly baked food that is hot to start with and then cools off. If they intentionally kept it hot it’d be liable to VAT. Remember that hoo-ha in last year’s budget??
    Perhaps ask your office to buy a microwave??

    I wish my problems were as trivial as this.
