  Ambika P3, formerly known as P3, is a 14,000 square foot triple height subterranean space in central London, converted from the vast former concrete construction hall for the University of Westminster’s School of Engineering. Built in the 1960s, its dramatic and impressive scale and its many retained industrial features offer opportunities for a range of creative activities and provides an inspiring venue for the exhibition of art.

  The Ambika P3 programme is dedicated to innovation, experimentation and learning and, supported by the Ambika Paul Foundation, has been conceived as a laboratory and meeting place for practitioners, industry and academia, aimed at both specialist and general public enthusiasm for architecture, design, media, fashion and visual and performing arts.

  Euan Ferguson , There are no devils in my hell. Just bores and bad food

   

  The V&A exhibition on medieval sacred art set me thinking about what my own idea of hell isThe V&A has, at the moment, a quite captivating show on medieval sacred art. I know, I know, I had thought the likelihood of my writing that sentence was up there with the chances of one beginning "The colourfully imagined roadworks which now pep up London's tired streets…" – but, honestly, stay with me, captivating is the word. To get there, it's best to get lost a little in the ...

United on his wedding night in April 1848 with Effie Gray, the girl who had been the object of some of his most beautiful writing during their courtshi...

  King Tut blockbuster is New York bound -- but not to the Met

Since opening at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on June 16, 2005, "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," the second coming of bling from the boy king's tomb, has played to some 5.5 million people in the United States and 1.1 million in London.

  Robbie Cooper, BradfordRobbie Cooper hides video and still-photo cameras in TV and computer screens to watch the watchers.
