Opera Gallery London is exhibiting a selection of works by Thierry Guetta aka Mr. Brainwash for his first UK solo show.

Many people from the cinema and West End made it to the joyful opening.

True to his portrait in the movie Exit through the Gift Shop, Thierry Guetta’s larger than life character and motto “life is beautiful” had a contagious effect on the happy crowd.

Chris Alys

For six nights over two weeks to mark the end of the summer season, the Boom Boom Club returns with brand new decadent cabaret exploits in the exclusive surroundings of the murky and mysterious underground Old Vic Tunnels underneath London Waterloo.

High-calibre acts showcase the length and breadth of cabaret, from exquisite grace and charm to multi-sensory overload, from the lyrical to the downright despicable.

The finest entertainers from London and the rest of the world like Chris Alys performed to intimate and captivated audiences.

Streets: ESPO Love Letter to Brooklyn

September 24, 2011 butterfly 1 Comment

Philadelphia artist Stephen Powers (ESPO) and his team have been putting the finishing touches on “Love Letter to Brooklyn” they painted on a Macy’s parking garage in downtown Brooklyn.

The project was partially designed by Powers before it was painted and evolved with feedback from the community, including long-time Brooklyn resident David Villorente. The painted lines were inspired by conversations he and his team had with people passing by the parking garage : “Turn to me”, “I see eternity” “Onward, upward,” “I was nurtured here,” “Born busy as a Brooklyn bound B” and “Euphoria, Is you for me?”
