• We played our first game and it was a big success – the area around Brick Lane turned into a danger zone of benevolent cruelty with 7 teams and a climatic, kindly bloodbath – have a look on our site for what the players had to say…read more

• Long before we set up urbaneer my dear friend Julia was leading the way with the Walton Art Exposure Project (WEAP) for her MA in Fine Arts. I guess this must have been the first time I creatively explored urban spaces equipped with six blue squares and a star-map…it was great fun (particularly as the sheep of Mudchute Farm started to attach my squares)!!! Click here for more info about the Julia Walton Art Exposure Project (WEAP) and on how you can take part…if you do please make sure to send Julia a set of your photograph’s for her collection!
