Benvenuti a Palazzo Peckham!

Out of a conversation in Peckham, comes Palazzo Peckham! The Palazzo doesn’t claim to represent the people of Peckham, neither all the artists working there. The use of Peckham represents art-communities needs for a place. It could be exchanged for any district on the edge of a city that hosts a young generation of artists living and working together. Conversation in this community has moved online, artwork can be out-sourced for fabrication and delivery to… [read more »]

The students of Cooper Union have since occupied the school, and are calling for President Bharucha’s resignation.… [read more »]
