The long awaited collaboration between our very own CDG and Bristol's Antlers Gallery has taken residence. 9 artists from each gallery's rostra compliments the surreality of both galleries tastes, forging new projects and strengthening the arts in a time of funding cuts. There will be a panel discussion on this, and the relationship between artist and gallerist and the issues surrounding online and offline art markets, hosted by Londonist art critic Tabish Khan, more details and FREE tickets here.

Learn how to make a shrunken head
Barts Pathology Museum is an almighty array of taxidermy and terrific tales, but this afternoon sees a slightly different tradition being taught- how to shrink heads. For obvious moral reasons, real heads are not permitted, but you are encouraged to bring along a chicken bone or two to compliment the craft, any material you like actually- not as gruesome as the title suggests.
Saturday 2nd November 3-6:30pm
3rd Floor, Robin Brook Centre, West Smithfield, London, Greater London, EC1A 7BE
Nearest stations Farringdon, Barbican and St. Paul's.
Tickets £45 here .
Happy weekend!- Sinéad
