Dogging In Peckham

As mentioned in the previous post, WebsterGotts were invited by Space Station 65 Gallery to a fantastic day out at Peckham Pet-Tastic 3, a festival and picnic for dogs and dog owners.

They brought with them their own breeds, Duchess and Pepe. To make some additional doggy chums, they filled their filthy boiler suits with squeaky dog toys. Armed with these suits of canine confusion, WebsterGotts were able to diffuse doggy conflicts and entertain the less aggressive mutts.

Pepe and Duchess also made many new friends.



Pepe is a Pygmy Burmese Wrottwangler, shown above meeting Todger the French Mongolian Water Labrador.



Duchess is a fine example of a Blue Mountain Mastikk. She enjoyed being ragged around by this Transylvanian Short-Winged Poodle (above).



Pepe proved to be a family dog, a big hit with children and ex-wives alike (see video below).



All in all, WebsterGotts had a grand day out, and are now confident that they know shitloads about dogs and how they tick.

Thanks to Rachael and Jo, and everyone else who took part in Peckham Pet-Tastic 3.

Peckham Pet-Tastic 3

WebsterGotts wish to invite you to Peckham Pet-Tastic 3, a fancy dress picnic for dogs and dog owners, organised by Rachael House of Space Station 65 Gallery.

WebsterGotts have never owned a dog. In fact, dogs make them both a little bit nervous. They will travel to Peckham on Saturday 23rd June to bridge the gap between artist and canine.

To do this, they have engineered and supplied special treats for both dogs and their dog owners.


• WebsterGotts will become human dog toys, so that no dog can resist them!

• Duchess and Pepe will accompany Alexis on leads all day. They are specially designed for dogs of all ages to enjoy thoroughly. Don’t be afraid to introduce your pet pals to these two!

• And for the owners, there are special presents from Scott’s bin!


Please come along and take time to introduce yourself and your dog to WebsterGotts, show them how dogs are a man’s best friend, and teach them to be a dog’s best friend.




Here's the info in crude copied-and-pasted-from-an-email format:

Peckham Pet-Tastic 3
a fancy dress picnic for dogs

Saturday June 23rd, 2.00pm-5.00pm,
Peckham Square, (outside Peckham Library) Peckham High Street SE15

There’s no place like home.
Once again, Rachael House invites you to make a costume, dress up your dog, and bring it along to Peckham Pet-Tastic 3, the canine art social event of the year.

During 2006 Rachael House’s Peckham Pet-Tastic was enticed far away. In May, dogs dressed up and congregated at Hå gamle prestegard in Norway. In August, Bexhill Bow-Wow transformed the De La Warr Pavilion into a gaudy throbbing mass of dogs and humans. In 2007 we even went to neighbouring Lewisham.

Now Peckham Pet-Tastic is back where we belong, in Peckham Square, our spiritual home. Bigger, bolder and even more extravagantly beautiful.

We are excited to be joined this year by artists Marcia Farquhar (well, her stand in, she can’t be there in person), WebsterGotts, Daniel Lehan, Simon Ould and Laura Wilson. While you exchange tales of stepping in it with Marcia’s doppelganger, duo WebsterGotts will desperately be attempting to befriend your dog. You won’t believe your eyes as Simon transforms himself into a canine war hero. Daniel will be headlining dogs in the news as Laura feeds you popcorn and reminisces about dogs of the silver screen. You may also dress a dog-shaped biscuit with icing, decorate a dog mask and become part of the pack, have your face painted to more closely resemble a dog and pose for photos with a Pound Puppy.

As if that’s not enough, there is also a display of dog masks embellished by artists Edwina Ashton, Marc Baines, Gayle Chong Kwan, Susan Collis, Craig Conlan, Jo David, Sarah Doyle, Amanda Francis, Sam Jones, Lady Lucy, Rebecca Nassauer, Stephen Nelson, Woodrow Phoenix, Hester Reeve, Rosemary Shirley, Andrea Stokes, Shane Waltener and Annie Whiles.

The face of PPT3 is Onion the miniature bull terrier, artist’s muse and star of film and video. Rachael has made Onion a glamorous Lady Luck costume for PPT3. Make sure you pay Onion your respects, and good fortune will certainly follow you.

Peckham Pet-Tastic 3, once more with feeling.

Millenium Galleries Held The Greatest Exhibition Ever

Just the other day, WebsterGotts visited the best exhibition ever, and decided they must show it on their blog.

At Millenium Galleries, they learned that Sheffield is the most important place on earth.

Celebrating 150 years of business and football in Sheffield, this exhibition confirmed some facts that WebsterGotts were unaware of;

* Sheffield INVENTED Football.

* Sheffield is the HOME of all Music.

* Sheffield is the BIRTHPLACE of Business.

* Sheffield is one of the most technologicaly ADVANCED cities in the world.

The exhibition consisted of the most visually informative display boards that depicted these vital legacies Sheffield has given mankind. Visitors were treated to first-hand sensory experiences of music and football, and also a spectacular insight into what the FUTURE of Sheffield will look like.....

The layout of the show was stunning, and over half the gallery was given over to corporate sponsorship and planning information. WebsterGotts learned that a key part of Sheffield's cultural heritage and shopping oasis will be brilliantly wiped clean and replaced by large glass buildings housing the sort of big brand names that simple folk can only dream of. What 'Moor' could Sheffield ask for?

This sets the example for WHAT galleries should show, HOW they should show it and that the most important thing in art (and what people really want to see) is corporate business sponsorship.

Balloon Party

WebsterGotts wish to apologise for their recent laziness. Here is a video of some balloons.
