Applications opened today at 5pm for taking part in Antony Gormley’s high-profile project, One & Other, which will occupy the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square from the 6th July.

Damien Hirst painting up for grabs

Something tells me that soft indie-rockers The Hours have spent the last two years doing some hardcore networking. Since the release of their debut album, Naricissus Road – which sold 20,000 copies, but then seemed to disappear into the vast music industry ether without a trace – Antony Genn and Martin Slattery of The Hours [...]

More from Chris Getliffe

Thanks…

… for the strong response we’ve had regarding contributing photographers and writers! I never knew there were so many of you out there. But if you haven’t got in touch yet, there’s still time. The beautiful thing about Glovebox is that, since it’s a growing online project, we aren’t really limited for space in terms [...]

Ujino and the Rotators

Japanese sculptor Ujino Munetero’s curious piece of sound art makes compelling viewing at the Hayward until April 24th, so it’s your last chance to get down to South Bank and give it a once- or twice-over. Described variously as ‘elegant’ and ‘chaotic’, the main work (a project called Ugly Knitting) makes use of noisy household [...]

Big news: we’ve got a lot in store for the next month – we aim to launch our first issue of Glovebox in digital magazine format in the first week of [...]

Electronic Organs and that

Rostone’s solo show at the Centre Fold Gallery in Guernsey is opening tomorrow and it’s going to be amazing! Imagine elaborately-layered, nostalgia-filled spray-painted porn and you’re quarter of the way there. I was at the Gallery two weeks ago and witnessed Rostone’s excitement at the arrival of a massive electronic organ. Apparently he’s painted it [...]
