Friday May 30th and Saturday 31st, 2008, 9pm - 3am
Press Launch 6pm, Friday 30th May

Described as "episodic live interactive installations", You Me Bum Bum Train is the brainchild of artists Kate Bond and Morgan Lloyd. It represents a new branch of experimental theatre. The event, now in its fourth year, has received high critical acclaim. "What has been one of London's more obtuse treasures looks set to become one of Great Britain's proudest moments." was Dazed and Confused's reaction last year. (Thomas Viney, June 2007). Fleur Britten said in The Sunday Times "I can wholeheartedly recommend You Me Bum Bum Train! It leaves you questioning everything. And it's lots of fun."

Gallery Carter presents: Laura Buckley & Alexis Harding
14 May - 4 June 2008
Bruuns Bazaar, 48 Albemarle St., London W1S 4JL

Carter Presents with Bruuns Bazaar is a new gallery space on Albemarle Street in Mayfair, London. The new Bruuns Bazaar project space is devoted to providing a platform for artists to develop new work. The gallery on Albemarle Street, Mayfair, is in a listed Georgian building and comprises of two inter-connected rooms. The concept and format for the exhibition is two solo shows in self-contained spaces where each artist's practice interrelates and plays off of the other.

For the inaugural exhibition, Laura Buckley and Alexis Harding, two London based artists, each separately explore materiality through a conceptual framework initially influenced by modernist reductionism. Both artists approach their medium (painting and film projection) in a sculptural manner, expanding the traditional boundaries of the support/screen.

2007-10-23T09:21:00.000-07:00

Curated by Ellen Mara De Wachter, Ali MacGilp and Cassandra Needham

Artists: Azorro, Tobias Collier, Matthew Coombes, Richard DeDomenici, Vito Drago, Juan Manuel Echavarria, Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez, Dirk Fleischmann, Beatrice Gibson & Jamie McCarthy, Adam James, Adrian Lee, Marko Maetamm, Harold Offeh, Edward Oliver, Andrew Parker, Johnny Parry, Mathew Sawyer & the Ghosts, Richard Sarson, Solmaz Shahbazi, Pilvi Takala, Charlie Tweed, Mark Wayman, Zorka Wollny & Anna Szwajgier

We like it a lot takes its title from a video by the Polish collective Azorro, in which the artists visit and comment on exhibitions in Warsaw. In each instance their experience of the art on show is indiscriminately summed up with this one inadequate but emphatic phrase. Under the banner of Azorro’s subversive slogan, the curators have selected works they like a lot by London-based and international artists, and brought them together for a weeklong exhibition with daily performances and screenings.

Fashion Reborn - Auto Italia South-East Gallery

2007-04-08T05:41:00.000-07:00

The Midnight Blue Collective hosting an open, interactive exhibition looking at the concept of recycling in the fashion world.
Trends in fashion come and go, with popular looks from previous decades making sometimes surprising comebacks (think leg warmers) but some designers take the notion of recycling more literally, re-using materials to make new, must-have clothes and accessories.
This exhibition was held in an abandoned car show room, in a sense recycled itself having been taken over by art students and turned into a gallery looks at the ways in which different designers have taken materials from a variety of sources to create new items, from shoes (Worn Again Trainers) to fanciful re-interpretations of history (The Rubbish Fairy).

Pampero Heritage

2007-04-07T10:21:00.000-07:00

Pampero is one of the oldest spirits produced in Venezuela, and multi-cultural South American communities today still delight in its individuality and distinction.
1493: Thanks to Christopher Columbus introducing sugar cane, plantations are soon established on the Carribean Islands and in South America. Adapting techniques used in Europe, colonists evolve a new spitir distilled from molasses (a syrup derived from sugar cane). They call it "rumbullion", later shortened to "rum".
1938: Alejandro Hernandez, the son of a Venezuelan fisherman on the paradise island of Margarita, establishes a rum & wine business - giving birth to Pampero. Hernandez travelled extensively tp learn about spirit production, and set about upgrading the quality of rum by applying innonative techniques he learnt abroad.
By 1951, Pampero becomes the most popular selling rum in Venezuela, a proud position it has been maintaining ever since.
1953: Pampero "Especial" is the first golden rum to be designated "anejo" (aged golden rum). The approval from the government came with the Northern Seal, awarded only to products of the highest quality.
2007: Pampero comes to London
