There is a intriguing fad at the minute for throwing performance and food together. The Aero Banquet by The White Blackbird and 'The Pale Blue Door' for example. On Saturday night I attended the latest collision of art and eats, the mysterious Tableau Vivant.
To be very honest I wasn't sure what to expect, the press release hinted at recreated paintings and theatrical goings on.
This month we check out London’s most stylish pub, dance to the beat of the our favourite artist dj’s, talk eco couture, and check out other people’s panties. Plus the real Sporting event of the summer and the pastie’s are finally standing up for themselves.
Whilst bankers may be mourning their lost bonuses, it’s the arts sector that always suffers most in a recession. But set-designer/artist Tony Hornecker decided to supplement his income by combining his past experience working as a chef with his artistic talent, creating a pop-up restaurant in his art installation-esque home.
Jareh caught up with Joe Bataan during his quick tour of the UK as past of Red Bull Music academy at East London's Cordy House. He had played a blinding set the night before at Cargo, alongside James Pants & The X Group, as well as guest speaking at Red Bull's Music Academy London session at Cordy House.
A huge, inverted purple cow with a theatre inside is just a good thing. And for all those people who have been waiting for just such an appariton I say

Anyone interested in the cultures and history of Middle East, especially those having a particular interest in Iran must not miss the Shah Abbas exhibition at the British Museum. The exhibition continues to host its visitors till 14 June, so there is no need to panic, but it would be wise anyway to arrange a convenient time at the hectic schedule of metropolitan life.
If you've cut back on retail therapy since the financial apocalypse, and withdrawal symptoms are beginning to set in, let me point you in the direction of Etsy. Assuaging all your sweatshop/environment/sustainability guilt, ... is kind of like Ebay, but for handmade items only- from cookies to soap, socks to coffee tables-if it can be made, chances are you'll find someone on Etsy who's making it. Sellers range from housewives in Ohio, to fashion students in Denmark; all earning a little extra through their creative handiwork.
