Matt Dalby reviews the Other Room 15
The second birthday of The Other Room reading series was marked by a packed venue, with more than forty people present to see performances from Ian Davidson, Zoe Skoulding and Matt Welton. Unusually in Matt and to a lesser extent in Zoe there were two poets performing that a reader who relies on the mainstream media for information about poetry might have heard of. This is not to the detriment of either reader, more to the detriment of mainstream media understanding of poetry.

David Osbaldeston: Out of Time – preview and exhibition
Castlefield Gallery is pleased to present a solo show of new work by David Osbaldeston, Out of Time (The Light of Day / The Action of the Play). Through manipulated images of news photography and a print series of interpretive book cover designs from Luigi Pirandello’s[1] celebrated play Six Characters in Search of an Author[2], the exhibition will explore relationships between the gallery and theatre staging, displacement, reality, illusion and social discord.
David Osbaldeston: Out of Time (The Light of Day / The Action of the Play) Preview: Thursday 15 April, 2010. 6-9pm – Everyone Welcome. Exhibition Continues: Friday 16 April – Sunday 6 June 2010
