DEATH OF A KING – ULLA VON BRANENBURG
Ulla von Brandenburg’s installation Death of a King highlights the architectural peculiarities of the place while at the same time underlining its role. It evolves on a platform with two levels, and readopts the structure of a skateboard ramp which the visitor is free to explore. A painting on the ground giving a trompe-l’oeil account of a colored, pleated curtain with a Harlequin motif, seemingly escaped from the Commedia dell’Arte, covers the whole surface. Thus a parable about theater emanates from this installation and this space, located between fiction and reality, a sort of sign indicating the start of a story.
DOG SHIT LAMPS :)
We like the idea of having to step on or poke a turd to turn the light on….

TED JAMES SHORT FILM
This is what Ted has to say – “This is a short film by Mike Chick about the craftmanship behind building a bike. This was my first stainless steel frame build and was early days of Tig welding so when i had Mike who the bike is for following me at every step you can imagine that it was a little stressful. I am happy with how the frame came out and so is Mike, with everyone else involved in the build it has come together to be a very nice bike indeed. This video, the amazing photos and Mike’s enthusiastic stories of how it rides makes it all worthwhile.”

I heard a rumour that TJD is making BMX frames.

PLAN B – ILL MANORS ALBUM LAUNCH
The previously secret venue for the iLL Manors OST launch party turned out to be the car park on Great Suffolk Street, London. I’d never heard of the place but I was assured it was a great venue for ravers. Upon arriving you could tell there was plenty of money put into the event, I’ve never seen so many projectors in my life. The first you notice is the album cover projected onto the huge wall of a warehouse, whilst queuing to get in. I failed to spot any celebrities beforehand except for Keith Coggins (Kirby in iLL Manors), who even though he was dressed up in an expensive suit, looked like a crackhead.
As soon as you get into the venue you have on the first left, the bar, and the flashiest portable toilets I’ve ever been in. The iLL Manors film was also projected onto the wall opposite the bar, behind the bar itself there were signs reading “OI RICHBOY CASH ONLY BAR”, I thought that was a simple but brilliant touch. Under the next archway there was the stage and another bunch of projectors, 2 on each side of the wall, which over the course of the show would display clips from the film and footage from the gig.
