At the current Hurvin Anderson exhibition at #Hepworth Museum #Wakefield, the artist has curated a room with works that were particularly influential on him.... included is this wonderful 1979 piece (from #TateBritain) by Michael Andrews; Melanie & me swimming.

It was one of he first works I really remember being struck by (alongside a piece by Patrick Caulfield) when I was a young non-nothing gallery visitor in my early 20s.

Really looking forward to going over to the #Hepworth Gallery in #Wakefield for the just opened #HurvinAnderson Salon paintings exhibition... here's one of the paintings we'll be seeing - what I don't understand is why he isn't better known outside the #artworld 'village'....

Obviously a rough Saturday night in #Wakefield this weekend. Amused me anyway.

Our centre had planned an art evening for TDOV tonight, so of course we don't know if we're going to be let into the building due to a nearby gas leak.

Waiting to find out what the course of my day is going to be like.

We are really delighted to be working with the terrific Michael Bach once more as he is over from Switzerland to take us for tomorrow's performance at the Yorkshire Area competition on the Vivaldi inspired Philip Wilby composition 'Red Priest'.

Michael has been really throwing himself into the Grimethorpe lifestyle with a visit to the Mining Museum at Wakefield and a knock at the driving range!

I've recently started work as Centre Co-ordinator at a new #LGBTQ centre in #Wakefield.

My boss thought it would be good to let me ramble on a bit in a blog post about my role. 😅

Situated at the edge of the “merrie city of Wakefield”, the chantry chapel in Wakefield is the oldest of the remaining bridge chapels in England. Sited on an old medieval bridge (now bypassed by a new bridge) over the River Calder.

So pleased that this once beautiful, decimated during its"modern" redevelopment is getting the care and attention it deserves. #Wakefield #History

Disgraceful rhetoric by @DrAseemMalhotra@twitter.com: no mention of ⬆️⬆️ #cardiac risk from #covid infections; much > likely to be contributing to #ExcessMortality than #CovidVaccines

His mantra as dangerous as #Wakefield’s was. Why has @gmcuk@twitter.com not acted yet?
@BBCNews@twitter.com he is not “balanced” https://twitter.com/draseemmalhotra/status/1613837487796850688

This local cinema was one of the inspirations for Nights at the Majestic.

It's sad to see it ripped to shreds, although it's finally time for it to be demolished. These are wonderful pictures though.
