Two art events

A couple of art events to publicise as a result of the get together on Monday, April 26.

Joan Byrne's photographs can be seen at the South London Women Artists' show at Bankside gallery, from April 28 to May 3. Her picture on the left was taken in Rye Lane. You can also see her photographs of Peckham at the Artists' Open House weekends, Sat-Sun May 8-9 and 15–16, 11am–6pm, 24 Homeleigh Road, Nunhead SE15 3EE, where she is exhibiting with the artist Caroline Wright

Chris Clack at Dulwich Print and Printing will also have an open house on both weekends of the Dulwich Festival – May 8-9 and May 15-16. He is at 73 Oglander Road (Grove Vale End), and there will be works from several artists on show. This picture (above right) is entitled 'The Gift'

Others at The Uplands on Monday night included Hylda Sims, whose Reaching Peckam poems have just been re-issued, along with a CD (see New Ballads of Peckham Rye). Also on the sofas of this otherwise pretty empty pub were Gillian Cargil from Light Monkey across the road, Louise Murray, off soon to dive with sharks in Cornwall, Rose Shepherd and Bob Schweizer

Newcomers were Hugo Simms, a promising writer and performer: see Skittlemustard, and mural artist James O'Meara.

• Bob Schweizer is chucking out thousands of rolls of 35mm film that is a little out of date if anybody wants it...Contact him direct – see Groucho People.

• Next Groucho Tuesday, May 11, venue to be decided.
