AGRIFASHIONISTA IS DEAD. LONG LIVE TOADBALL

To escape the clutches of the past, agrifashionista.tv has been rebranded as toadball.tv as we present elements of the Grizedale TV project at the Royal Academy's GSK Contemporary Season until January 19. This month's launch sees William Pope L's Convenience Store Project launched on line at www.toadball.tv and at the RA with a man in an overcoat selling illicit DVD copies to random punters. He might also sell you a bit of building. Go to http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/gsk-contemporary-season for more details of the show and opening times.

New video online

It's my shack

Adam on his own in the office, in a week of increasing building problems. It promises a lengthy blues moan over a disco soundtrack about buildings - actually that sounds fine

Thomas Rowlandson (detail)

The GSK Contemporary Season opens at the Royal Academy on Thursday, you can see the slightly unwilling Grizedale contribution on the ground floor for free - the rest you have to pay for - it makes sense as it seems we and the artists have done it for free. There are some Rowlandson images that better illustrate our feelings but they are a little to explicit to post. This one is actually of the Royal Academy main staircase.
