Wildago

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

We always wanted to know someone called Edmund… and now we do. He’s a temporary resident at The Chimney House between the 25th March and 22nd of April  10 for an exhibition of Wildago’s art along with Pearl and various friends (who he doesn’t know) So I do hope they don’t bump into each other, (gosh, the responsibility!) … as their destiny hasn’t been written – or should I say painted yet. Their stories so far are shown through the art of Wildago – who captures their series of adventures and daily musings through life in a series of paintings. Wildago is one of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists and we are delighted to have a sleepover for Pearl and Edmund… they are as real as you or I when you get to know them… so sleepover does seem more fitting for them….

Catch the Wildago show at The Chimney House from the 25th March – 22nd April. Please book in advance to view.

Our chosen one… in terms of who we let loose with a paint brush and 3 tins of paint on our precious 93ft chimney.  Tom the Sheffield hot shot who is a Dazed & Confused Mag regular and also John Richmond’s artist to accessorise his Parisian store… was the man on a mission to paint us the story of The Chimney House and Kelham Island. So we lured him to the Island,  put him in the freezing room with builders,  no lights, no kettle (half done and very dusty) and said get on with it…
