ART & ABOUT<br />
In town this month...<br />
‘David Bellingham is an artist of near total obscurity, who scratches a<br />
living making and mending,’ reads the intriguing press release. ‘His work<br />
is occasionally to be found in the regions but it does not stay long and<br />
is hard to spot. He does his best to keep a low profile. You will not have<br />
heard of him before and you may never hear of him again.’ There’s a<br />
chance to catch a rare sighting of the elusive Glasgow-based Bellingham<br />
at Phoenix <strong>Brighton</strong> this month: they start <strong>2019</strong> with an exhibition of his<br />
work, curated by David Shrigley. Driving School opens on the 19th and is<br />
described as ‘lessons in unlearning and relearning, undoing and redoing<br />
and unmaking and remaking’. Join Bellingham and Shrigley for a free tour of the exhibition on Saturday<br />
the 19th at 2pm, when things may (or may not) become clearer. Continues until the 24th of February.<br />
