    Clones

    Brilliantly inventive work by artist Peter Funch. At first it's difficult to work out what he has done, but fairly quickly we can tell that there is some clever image manipulation. It offers a perceptive critique of city life by aggregating common themes, through which a typology of urban activity emerges.

    Long

    From days visiting the Tate on Millbank in London come memories of the work of Richard Long. Enigmatic strings of words in Gill Sans, perhaps a photograph - all that remained of artworks that consisted of using his feet, and walking. Later work became more tangible, geometric and gallery-friendly.

    Over at the Guardian is a fine introduction to Long's peripatetic work, recognised as being at once conceptual and unpretentious. This can be ascribed to (literally) grounding his work. However, it is more than this - it is his respectful uncovering of the Englishman's primitive connection to the land and the marks made on it, whether through labour or ritual.

    An architectural inspiration.
