Interesting perspective from Grayson Perry, who told the Arts Society Magazine… “I think every part of life has probably got a bit of fat that needs trimming. It’s awful that the culture sector has been decimated, but I think some things needed to go. Too often, the audience for culture…
On November 12th, this page published an article about Derrick May and his ongoing legal troubles. In the article, I referred to his solicitor of choice, Kyle J Dupuy at Dupuy Law Firm PLC as "the legal equivalent of Mickey Mouse". Amateur At Play now accepts that this point is…
