I look forward to another week in my newly found, inspiring, full of talent home, Bristol.
Always interested in new bands and music, I'm open to suggestions and will probably head to The Exchange, on Old Market, iconic music venue I only visited in the daytime for now, for an interview with its adorable and funny owner.

Bristol's Old Vic Theatre is also on my list, with:
The Accordion Shop
by Cush Jumbo
Mister Ellody has quietly kept his accordion shop going on his local high street for generations.
One day, he steps out of his door and witnesses an extraordinary incident: hundreds of young people are surging onto the street, and they've all received the same text message on their phones which simply says "RIOT. THE ROAD. 7pm TONIGHT."
Tue 24 Mar, 8.30pm

Remote
by Stef Smith
A girl called Antler steps out of her front door and throws her phone on the ground. She stamps on it. She then climbs the tallest tree in the park. She doesn't want to be found, not by anyone. Seven teenagers' lives all intertwine over the course of a single evening as they make their way through the park on a seemingly normal Autumn's night.
Remote is a play about protest, power and protecting yourself.
Wed 25 Mar, 8.30pm

Isabelle CornaroTémoins oculaires
Spike Isl and and the South London Gallery join forces for a two-pa rt solo exhibition by the French artist Is abelle Corn aro, the winner of the prestigious Prix Ric ard in 2010. The presenta tion in Bristol, Témoins ocula ires (mea ning ‘eye witnesses’), focuses on new a nd recent work and runs from 24 January to 29 March 2015.
Isa belle Corna ro works with pa inting, sculpture, film a nd insta lla tion to explore the influence of history a nd culture on our perception of rea lity. A tra ined art historia n, specia lising in sixteenth-century Europea n M annerism, her visua l la nguage dra ws on a wide a rr ay of references, from the Ba roque to modernist abstr action. Corna ro uses found objects imbued with emotiona l va lue or symbolic potentia l such a s h air, jewellery, mea suring tools, coins or rugs, which she presents in different media a nd types of displa y to revea l the subtle shifts of mea ning induced by processes of reproduction a nd tra nsla tion.
At Spike Island, Cornaro presents a series of specially commissioned installations in which she continues her investigation into composition, visual perception and interpretation. These tableaux, which could be described as physical representations of the act of watching, activate specific viewpoints reminiscent of cinematic and editing techniques (framing, focus, close-up, wide angle, tracking, sequence shot etc.). Each tableau creates a self-contained space with varying perspectives, in which the objects are returned to their ‘destiny of fetishes, which is to shine from a distance’, in the words of the French film critic Serge Daney.
Paysage avec poussin (South London Gallery) and Témoins oculaires(Spike Island) is the first collaboration of its kind between two leading public British galleries.
Preview: Friday 23 January, 6–9pm
