Where in the world is this year's first outer space?
Behind the scenes
So Wayne's wall is all done (and gloriously untagged) and Ronnie's peering out nightly over the Boulevard.
You can drop in here to find out about the oozy productions soon going on show in this space. With no disrespect to those artworks, I can tell you the space will be worth a visit simply for the gob-smacking views over the Red Zone...
And now the redoubtable Outer Spaces painting-and-decorating team are busy prepping our next offsite venue. It currently looks a bit like this....
