20×10
I’m currently working at Saatchi and Saatchi London.
All very interesting, particularly the office next door. It’s usually the working space of David Goss and Ollie Wolf, but they’ve decided to turn it into London’s smallest art gallery, 20×10.
Currently it is hosting an exhibition of photographer Ollie Kellett (weak interest declared: Daryl and I gave Ollie his first job in advertising. He’s since left that side of the business. Read into that what you will).
This is how the office usually looks:
And this is how it was transformed into an exhibition space:
And then the people arrived:
Nice one to the guys who decided to make an art gallery, and nice one to Ollie, who is excellent and for hire.
I’m sure he’ll leave his professional contact details in the comments.
There are way too many Ollies in advertising.
Good on you Wolf and Goss.
olikellett.com is where you can find the rest of my work and contact details…
They’d get many more people in there if they opened a bar. Mind you it would be full of advertising twats all saying “Blogosphere” and “Going Forward” and “Push Back” and “Strategic.”
And “Anyone got any builds?”
in other words “Anyone see something they don’t like and want changed to something worse?”
It’s always worse isn’t it?
The fucking shitfaces.
Were you ever tempted to work abroad during your career Ben?
A lot of creative talent seems to be leaving London now (or the industry for that matter…)
Or was it the case that London was doing the best work in the past so you stayed?
I think for a lot of creatives trying to do good work in London, it feels like they came to the party late.
About 15 years late.
Should of called it 20 x 11.
See what I did there?
Don’t steal it, I’ll punch you in the ear if you do.

Blah: over the years I did send my book out for a few jobs overseas (US only), but they didn’t turn out to be what I was looking for. I think that if I were footloose and fancy free I would probably look abroad for work. Several friends have and they seem very happy with their choice.
