Collective culture corner

Over the weekend, Dan popped in to the Saatchi Gallery to see the 'Newspeak: British Art Now' exhibition. The exhibition showcases the best of a new generation of contemporary British artists, in fact there were so many to display they had to split the show into two.

Highlights from the show were Steve Bishop's taxidermy goat and cement sculpture, being introduced to Maurizio Anzeri's embroidered vintage prints, and Toby Ziegler's geometric oil paintings.
