'Plum Pictures' - in association with 'Hat Trick' - are looking for couples to take part in a new programme for Channel 4 in which a man will treat his wife or long-term partner to a whole new wardrobe.  It maybe that she feels completely lost when it comes to clothes, maybe she has low self-esteem, or finds it hard to get out of her comfort clothes. She might have quite a whacky/overly sexy dress sense or since having children hasn’t had any time to focus on herself and her clothes are utterly outdated.

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.
