When graphic designer Marc Alabaster had a new set of glass doors installed at his West Sussex home eight years ago, he soon realised how they magnified the heat of the afternoon sun.
“The kitchen was 40-plus degrees,” he said. Then he went on holiday to Spain and saw an apartment building wrapped in louvre-like rows of angled fins or blades that shaded the external walls against the sun.

In 1986, an exhibition called Chambres d’Amis took contemporary art beyond the confines of the museum setting and into the homes of 58 residents in Ghent. Forty years on, a similar experiment is taking place, but on a small street in Peckham, south-east London.
Rooms of Neighbours is the brainchild of curator Ben Broome, who came across Chambres d’Amis when he was between institutional jobs. With time on his hands and an urge to get to know his neighbours better, he began to wonder how he could apply the idea to his own community, but with a broader focus. Unlike the exhibition in Ghent, which mostly took place in the homes of art world friends and museum patrons, his own street – a mix of council and privately owned flats and houses – represented a wider demographic, with different age groups, social classes and diasporas. Few of the residents had any prior connection to the art world, he tells me: “The majority of people have never been to the Tate; they have never even been to the South London Gallery, which is a local institution. But that’s not to say some of the neighbours aren’t really creative.”

And the last bird (a swallow) at the moment. I have to sketch new motives. some of you already commented some birds I could create. So- stay tuned!

Jezus Christus en godallemachtig en de heilige Oranje Leeuw erbij. Iedereen is superblij met Oranje en alle Oranjespelers mogen er zijn en worden gewaardeerd en de meest negatief besproken Nederlanders zijn Frenkie en Koeman en iedereen krijgt het rapportcijfer tien en de tenues zijn nu al legendarisch en vooral het uittenue is mooi en het volkslied leeft maar in De Volkskrant gaat het natuurlijk weer over de zwarte bladzijdes van dit Oranjefeest omdat er ook (3) mensen zijn die het Patta warmloopshirt niet zo mooi vinden 'haten vanwege de multiculturele filosofie achter het shirt'. De FILOSOFIE, die MULTICULTUREEL is, achter het SHIRT. Het WARMLOOPSHIRT. Dat is niet het eerste, niet het tweede en zelfs niet het derde shirt, dat is het WARMLOOPSHIRT. En dat mensen dat shirt dan haten vanwege de FILOSOFIE erachter. Scheer je weg Hassan Bahara, dat shirt is simpelweg spuuglelijk, spuuglelijker zelfs dan het thuistenue uit '88, dat iedereen en z'n Hollandse poepreet en/of spuugkop in '88 al spuuglelijk vond maar iconisch werd omdat het '88 was. En als Nederland in '26 wereldkampioen wordt, vindt iedereen zelfs dat spuuglelijke Patta warmloopshirt geweldig, hoe spuuglelijk het ook is.

10 jaar geleden koos de Britse kiezer er in een referendum voor de Europese Unie te verlaten. Wat heeft Brexit de Britten opgeleverd? Willen ze misschien zelfs terug?
