Percy Bysshe Shelley's epic poem 'The Masque of Anarchy' (1819), an outraged contemporaneous response to the Peterloo Massacre of non-violent social reform protesters, was last month vividly performed for the Manchester International Festival. At almost the same time opened 'The Hecklers’, an exhibition of recent British art practice with an overt political tone.…

Art institutions in Britain’s capital city like to jockey for the position of being the epicentre of creativity in London. It seems every exhibition boasts the freshest, newest, most relevant talent to ever show on the London art scene.
