This is the flyer for Duncan Ward's performance on Saturday. Please note that the title is actually If You Can't Close This Door Don't Open It; a subtle difference you might argue, but shows I didn't get it wrong on the website, and obviously important to those involved. So wander along to Angel/Old Street area and see Duncan in action, as well as all the others.
Also this weekend the Serpentine Gallery are holding a two-day Manifesto Marathon in the Frank Gehry Pavilion before its dismantled.

I went to the Design Museum's show Design Cities, which was quite small but interesting to see the development of modernism in design, especially Arts & Crafts to Bauhaus. My favourite thing, though, was the folded cardboard display panels: recyclable exhibition design is truly the future!
