“I can’t believe he pulled it off, he really pulled it off!” said a man we’d met thirty seconds before, whooping and grabbing us around the shoulders. We were at the Red Bull Music Academy presents Major Laser Soundsystem party during the Notting Hill Carnival, and it was the Monday so everybody was letting things... Read more
A while ago, we mentioned that Harmony Korine was producing a film in conjunction with Proenza Schouler; that film, Act Da Fool, is now being bandied around the internet at the speed of light, and attracting more than its fair share of controversy as it goes. As is expected of Korine, the film is beautiful... Read more
Walking out of Ciprian Muresan’s show at the Wilkinson Gallery, we tried to think of happier things. The free bar. The clement weather. The fact that it was also Keanu Reeves’ birthday that day, which was weirdly comforting given the fact that he never ages, and the fact that we’d rather enjoyed Bill And Ted,... Read more
Some of Art Wednesday’s more elderly staff remember raving like it was yesterday, assuming Alzheimers hasn’t already kicked in. Blasting out techno in their bedrooms only to cram into their friends cars in the wee hours and drive out to illegal raves, they certainly knew how to live it up. It could be argued,... Read more
Another press release for you, this time about an exhibition which opens this month at Jack Bell Gallery in Vauxhall; as ever, art-lovers will be spoilt for choice during September. One rather superficial thing we’ve drawn from Leonce Agbodjélou’s vibrant, almost cinematic portraits of the people from his hometown? We can think of a fair... Read more
Child Of The Atom is new film and installation by David Blandy, showing at the Seventeen Gallery in Shoreditch, and – here comes the heavy part – it’s related to the bombing of Hiroshima. Sensing that this might be one topic for which our usual sarcastic attitude and punning jokes might be wildly inappropriate, we’ve... Read more
Reid Peppard has a lot in common with The Addams Family, in that she’s creepy, kooky, and altogether ooky, but we think she’s rather wonderful nonetheless. A highly-skilled jewelery and accessory designer, her forte is working with the dead; taxidermy crows become bombastic headpieces, squirrels’ hearts are cast and turned into... Read more
We’ll level with you – we’re completely crap at crafts. An art degree is one thing, but we’ve never quite been able to figure out how to wield a pair of knitting needles, or make a passable Christmas card using nothing but pasta, glitter and the milk of human kindness. It’s just not in our... Read more
Over the weekend, internet reports were rife that iconic British photographer Corinne Day had passed away, as a result of a brain tumor. Regrettably, her death has since been confirmed; she died on the 27th of August, 4pm GMT, with her family beside her. An innovative and visionary artist whose images managed to be at... Read more
Torrential rain can be a bit of a hindrance when you’re literally scooting to an opening – it’s like Quadrophenia once we get going, we tell you – but we braved a hairy, scary journey last night nonetheless to get to the private view for Daydreamer with… James Lavelle at Haunch of Venison. Inspired by the... Read more
