Who's The Man

If you believe some of the more hysterical sections of the press then you'd think that a scheming cabal of feminist harridans had all but made the Y chromosome illegal. And whilst, in a slightly shocking turn of events, I may have had to make my own dinner last night it's fair to say that this 'analysis' is obviously bullsh!t. This week at The Future Gallery artist Rudy de Belgeonne is attempting to pin down 'man' with a thousand hand-painted panels, each one containing a definition ranging from Brute and Bloke to Ponce, Pimp and Punk. Somewhere amongst the giant 5m by 4m installation you should find something you'd be happy to hang above your bed, but if 1000 definitions isn't enough for you then you can even commission the artist to create your very own panel. Right, I'm off to wrestle a bear. / John Power
