Derek Jarman at The Serpentine Gallery

The Serpentine Gallery
(020) 7402 6075

23 February - 13 April 2008
ADMISSION IS FREE

I remember reading an article on Derek Jarman in which he predicted that the site on which he had his studio, Butler's Wharf, would become the focus of a new art world. Butler's Wharf is situated on the southbank where we can now find the Tate Modern, a hub of contemporary art. This ability to prophecise the future of not just one practice, but the many in which he chose to work, goes some way to explain what was and is quintessentially Derek Jarman. Rather than focus on the exhibition itself, I would like to focus on the man, with a list of words.

ALEXANDER RODCHENKO: REVOLUTION IN PHOTOGRAPHY

The Hayward, Southbank Centre
The exhibtion runs from 7 February to 27 April 2008

Tickets for this event are £9
Contact the ticket office (9am-8pm) on 0871 663 2500

Alexander Rodchenko (1891-1956) is one of the great figures of early 20th-century avant-garde art, and also one of its most versatile practitioners. Half a century after his death, The Hayward presents the first major exhibition in the UK of Rodchenko’s photographs, featuring some 120 prints and photomontages, as well as poster and magazine designs. The exhibition traces the development of Rodchenko's photography over two decades from the early 1920s, a period when he revolutionised the medium by pioneering a new vocabulary of bold and unusual camera positions, severe foreshortenings of perspective, and surprising close-ups. Take a look - This could be your last chance to see it as the exhibition closes on the 27th of April...

Thursday 10th April

7.30pm - 2am

Tickets are £6 on the door

This will be the second night that we have collaborated with Flykkiller. The first one went very well; we posted 400 post-it notes around the space, and had spherical glitter heads that blinded us : then we were prompted to leave for creating too much of a 'disturbance'! Mission accomplished.

This time the great David Holmes will be DJing, so that shouldn't be missed, alongside of course, Flykkiller themselves. They were great last time and promise to be even darker this time around. To learn a little more about the band visit their website and take a look at our earlier post about them below.Of course, everyone here at the store will be visually 'happening' and 'disturbing' you, so make sure you mark it in your diary.
