GETTS AROUND TOWN

Let us spoon-feed your renascence. As is plain, Young Athenians were not ‘young Turks'. A cast of characters, they'd been around, some longer than others. Young Athenians were not the artists featured in this exhibition; rather they are the slinky vagabond that takes you through the frame. They were the skelly-eyed haverers against menstealers, liars, Popery, advouterie, perjured persons and men who are themselves with mankind. They are the composers of parables to share the adventures of the dramatised present. Was any of this era, which seemed as much driven by changes in mortgage rates and hair styles as by any sense of its contribution to the present, really new? Yes, we would say, at the level of effect, much of it is very new. It's also clear that while it was technologically primitive, such culture did at least demonstrate a commitment to living permanently in the then and now.
