Urban Garden 26 April - 7 Sept
Vitamins ‘Biologic’ I.V Plant Pots were in attendance at the Urban Garden exhibition last week. This exhibition showed how city dwellers can make a difference to their spaces. From the neglected back alley, the humble balcony to the high rise towerblock, even the tiniest corner of your home, office or garden can be transformed into an urban oasis. Head of Creative Programmes Pollyanna Clayton-Stamm commented on the success of the exhibition saying
“the exhibition has generated an immense amount of interest in alternative ways of greening the city, improving food security and introduced nearly 50,000 visitors to the world of urban gardening”.

Dface APOPcalypse Now
The Vitamin team headed over to Rivington Street to check out the much awaited D’Face exhibition. This solo show exhibited some of his new works such as ‘‘Ha Ha Ha not so Superman Now’‘ and ‘‘American Depress’‘. These politically inspired pieces were a massive hit with viewers.
In D*Face’s own words:
bq. “My work reflects our popular culture encompassing the American dream and the ideal of good triumphing over evil, no longer relevant in today’s society where the ‘invade now and ask questions later’ philosophy isn’t tolerated or indeed wanted. Colliding cultures are no longer receptive to the American way, the Superhero’s triumph of good over evil as portrayed through the political circus is now decoded through the eyes of different cultures, weary and wary of the sub-plot played in today’s political climate where war equals brand invasion”.
