This guide from the Green Party's Sian Berry is for all Londoners, including local renters’ groups, who want to take action to improve renting in our city. It will help you better understand the current rules for letting agents, including the Mayor’s own London Rental Standard, and help you do a ‘secret shopping’ exercise to find out if letting agents in your area are doing their jobs properly.
After a tempestuous few years for London’s night time economy, it seems the climate could finally be changing for music venues.
As Village Underground revealed on Monday that it had been granted a new 15 year lease on its premises, iconic Islington music venue The Garage also announced it would be relaunching in February.
Writer, cultural theorist and music critic Mark Fisher has died. His long-running blog, k-punk, examined pop culture with theoretical rigour, an entertaining and illuminating look at the world we live in.
He wrote beautifully on sound, underground culture, mental health, and radical politics, and was a contributor to Wire, Sight & Sound, The Guardian, as well as a lecturer in the Department of Visual Culture at Goldsmiths.
An opportunity for a curator beginning their career in the visual arts to work with one of the UK’s most adored cultural venues.
Barbican and Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) are launching a joint curatorial traineeship programme, which is an excellent opportunity to gain an insight into working for two arts organisations of different scale with separate programmes, where you will acquire practical skills to support your qualifications and inform future career choices.
Tegan and Sara, the Canadian sisters, artists and LGBTQ activists, have announced they will launch their own foundation for women and girls.
According to its mission statement, The Tegan and Sara Foundation will work with similar groups to support “economic justice, health, and representation for LGBTQ girls and women,” based on principles of “feminism and racial, social and gender justice”.
We may be about to enter the dump months of January and February for actual cinema releases, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get seriously stoked for films still almost a year from release date away.
And, you know, a Blade Runner follow-up isn’t just any old reboot. The 1982 release performed wonderfully mediocrely at the box office, leaving it in prime position to become a firm cult classic and touchstone of 1980s tech noir.
There’s never a normal day at the office when you’re sat in a discontinued tube carriage atop a converted Victorian warehouse in the middle of Shoreditch. Village Underground is on the hunt for two to four new tenants for their working spaces.
They’re currently accepting applications for emerging artists, creative professionals and businesses that will benefit from our affordable rent and being part of our creative community. Village Underground is also keen to maintain a diversity of backgrounds and disciplines.
Visual artist Mat Collishaw is crowdfunding to support his new project: creating an experience that will take viewers back to the birth of photography, the medium that spawned all subsequent image-based technological innovations.
Ways of Worldmaking is the first comprehensive monograph on British experimental filmmaker Ben Rivers. Often following people who have in some way separated themselves from society, the raw film footage provides Rivers with a starting point for creating oblique narratives imagining alternative existences in marginal worlds.
This book has been designed by åbäke and published by Mousse Publishing in collaboration with Camden Arts Centre, Kunstverein in Hamburg, The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago and La Triennale di Milano.
