In a reality TV saturated culture, Gillian Wearing’s exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery couldn’t have come at a better time. Wearing has been ahead of the game since the late 90s, which is what makes her work all the more fascinating. The Turner Prize winner creates fly-on-the-wall documentaries, performance pieces, takes portraits and makes reality TV... Read more
Last Thursday, we donned a scarf, braced the cold (isn’t it meant to be May?) and headed down to the Photoautomat launch party at Netil House. Photoautomat is the company behind the analogue photo booths you may have come across dotted on the streets of Berlin; in London they have a booth in the beer... Read more
The queue for Helmut Newton runs all around one side of the Grand Palais, even on a Thursday afternoon, so we’re certainly relieved we get to skip that part of the experience with a press pass and a smile. But within moments – in catching sight of the first photographs on the wall – it’s... Read more
Last week we went to see the Bob Dylan exhibition at the Cité de la Musique in North East Paris. Emerging from the Metro on a windy spring afternoon, it seemed we weren’t alone.

Having moseyed on down the King’s Road on a balmy spring evening, there was a collective sigh of relief when we crossed the threshold of Proud Chelsea – we were pleased to find that Duffy: The Lost Portraits, was the breath of fresh air we sought. As legend has it, Brian Duffy had something of... Read more

With last Sunday signalling BBC 6 music’s decade-defying tenth birthday, next to pop-out of the party hat is Obsessionart, specialist online purveyor of provocative art who, this week, rejoiced in the arrival of their fifth anniversary. To honour the occasion, the... Read more
It’s always nice when the highly creative bods in our building exhibit their work on our very own doorstep, better yet in the gallery downstairs. We now have something to look at in our lunch break to give us that quick injection of inspiration, when caffeine can’t quite kick our brains into action. From tomorrow the Print... Read more
If you need an excuse to get your bongos out this weekend (if ‘it’s the weekend’ isn’t enough of an excuse on its own, that is) then be sure to head over to Bethnal Green Road for a carnival of music, film, dance, photography and spoken word in the form of Havana Santiago’s Afro-Latin inspired...

There’s nothing quite like Paris in November to blast away the winter blues. So that’s exactly where we went last weekend. Ok, we know the saying about Paris in the springtime, but at this time of year the city is ablaze with colour. Trees appear to burn with reds, oranges and yellows, the sun throws... Read more
Words by Marissa Cox. Fashion photographer Mari Sarai set Fashion Week off to a roaring start Thursday night, with the private view of her new NAKED exhibition at Blackall Studios on Leonard Street. We walked in on a Indian summer’s evening and were instantly hit not only with the heat radiating from the bodies that... Read more
