More than a gallery experience; BasementArtsProject is about becoming part of a family, a real one that resides in and around a permanent art space.

Too art for community too community for art.
And also a piece by longstanding friend of. One and associate of Basement Phill Hopkins

Yes, it is that time of an exhibition again when we turn our attention to the closing event: our Lunchtime Conversation with the incumbent artist. So, if you want to get the 4-1-1 on this thought provoking exhibition then book your ticket using the link

Started a new job yesterday- two days a week- set myself up an office to work from. BasementArtsProject will continue but with slightly less hours than previously

Whilst it may seem backwards to put the AI version first, there was a reason for this.

One lap done, struggled with 50 more on the machine and now it’s off for one final lap before going home to open up #BasementArtsProject for the day.

October’s Editions of Hypogeal over on Substack constituted something of an break from the usual format.

I came across a piece of writing from earlier in the year in which I was musing on the offerings of AI. And so an experiment was born. With a series of prompts I got AI to rewrite my thoughts

All the while listening to a new EP by Makaya McCraven

Last week was half-term and I finally managed to get away for a couple of days to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I also managed to pick up a new, two day a week, job and open a new exhibition here at #BasementArtsProject

दर्शन was the first non-English title that we have used at BasementArtsProject and, just like buses, two come along at once.

The next exhibition is drawn from the Welsh language. Tirweddau Dychmugol-Faesiol is an exhibition by Leeds based studio holder at Serf Seren Oakley

We hope you can join us…

As artists and as a community we are at war on all fronts against the forces that seek to destroy our lives rather than make them better

After 3 years of ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ bringing peace and quiet to the land, a late opening cheap booze licence has seen the land inundated with their mess

The negotiations with the land bankers continue.

Trying to get companies involved in things that help and improve communities rather than make money out of them is nigh on impossible but we persist…

Another 50 on the chest and another circuit of the park before I go home and return to my work as Basement
October 17, 2025 at 8:07 AM
Also a trip out to Meanwood Valley Urban Farm to chat to Sachi Hani-Okofari about projects, trees and the age of rocks
October 17, 2025 at 8:03 AM
Then a quick stop at Henry More Institute as I realised that I had not yet seen the British Land Art display.

I also dropped some recent archive material relating to Phee Jefferies exhibition at Basement into the library for the Artist’s Files.

Back to Wednesday and I met with Left Bank Leeds to talk about the potential for a @sluiceart.bsky.social team up in 2026

Wednesday this week was a day of meetings.
The usual mid-week early morning catch up with Basement Director Alan Dunn chatting strategies and projects.

Another 50 chest presses today and a lap of the park. Just fast walking at the moment for a bit of mental uplift in the process checking out today’s new release by Sudan Archives: The BPM
