Scattered is a new platform enabling people to experience art in striking and unexpected locations. Disregarding pretension and staid clichés of how, when and where art should be enjoyed, Scattered sees art as accessible, emergent and dynamic.

An accidental glimpse, a secret conversation, a sporadic experience.

Shhhhh, no one’s going to be looking…

Touche Turtle!

Touche Turtle? Yeah, you know, Touche Turtle, the incredibly cool and impressively heroic yet really rather cute animated figure of our youth. Well, when I say 'our youth', I clearly refer to those of us who remember when roller skates were basically metal flip flops on wheels and when corn beef really did seem like a worthy sandwich filler but I think you know what I'm getting at.

Okay, so some of you ker-razy yoof-ful Scattered followers out there (yes, experimentation with spelling really is the way to keep the ageing process at bay) may not appreciate the greatest turtle of our times but I think we can all learn a little from what he stands for.

No? Well, not only does Touche Turtle represent the opponent who is always going to impress his competitor with his worthy and witty retorts, he also represents a species that has stood the test of evolutionary time. And the link with Scattered? Well, it's as clear as a swipe from Touche's blade; Scattered's exhibition on Sunday 2nd October will be in a species of its own, sure to impress everyone.


Keep your foils at the ready and see you there:)

(Disclaimer: While it could be argued that Scattered has short, sturdy legs, it is legally bound to admit that it does not have horny scutes.)
