This significant exhibition, curated by Peter Kardia, of contemporary British sculpture opened 5 March 2010 at the P3 Galleries. "From Floor to Sky" brings together 28 artists, all graduates of the RCA and St Martins, whose radical and political approaches shifted the practice of sculpture away from the established forms or subject matters.

Don't wait for the Degrees shows to come around as you can catch up with how the work by the College's current student intake is developing. The interim shows are good to see because the pressure is not yet quite on for the students so the work is still experimental and personal. The first of this year's 'interim shows' included work from the Fashion and Textiles, Photography, Gold/Silver/Metalwork schools.

A large audience gathered in London's east end Toynbee Hall theatre space, Whitechapel, to see two films by "director extraordinaire" Ian Johnson. The first film to be shown was "Bruce Lacey: The Original Performance Artist" (56mins) a film documenting the work of 60's robotics and performance artist Bruce Lacey. Ian's second film "No Problem..." (33mins), was a tense documentary film about actor, writer and man of notorious and experimental theatre, Ken Campbell.

This year's Forum took place at the Indigo2 (aka The Dome) - a move away from it's original venue at the spacy and impressive Dockland's Excel Centre. The squeeze into a new environment was almost reflective of the financial squeeze of the 'world banking crisis' has brought up us. Not that anyone would admit as much. In acclimatizing to the reduced size and attendance at the show the forum took on a more intimate and human ethos than the "flash corporate land grabbing money grubbing" approach seen in previous years.
