Before Le Cerveau Affamé, 2013, Georgina Starr.
Moira Jeffrey gave the exhibition a 4-star review in The Scotsman. 
Jeffrey acknowledged: “But it’s not just a pastiche of avant-garde seriousness; it’s a kind of aesthetic revenge... It’s ridiculous stuff like this that makes me so glad that art schools are still around.”
