BECKY FURY: DOOM POEM JOY

We love Becky Fury, a London based performance artist, her poetry and performances are clever, cool and particularly spot on.
We hope to see more of her work in the future.....
Here's a little DOOM! poem she wrote, its simple and quite perfect.
SILLY DOOM POEM
                                                                            
 Alone.
With my thoughts
In the dark of my room
could've gone out.
But stayed in
to nurture my doom.

DOOM DOOM!
With a cherry on top.
dark and black

like a tasty full stop.
A cherry so inky and dark and black
that if you stare into it
you'll see your soul 
staring back.
Alone in despair
eating angel delight
i should get out of bed
and switch on the lights.

DOOM DOOM!
in the gloom, of my room!

i nurture my little
ray of doom.
i suckle her close 
up to my breast, 
keep her in her
tupperware locket 
under my vest.

DOOM DOOM!
i know i ate your cheese.
but you cant share my doom.
even if you do say please.

HAPPY ABOUT THE HAPPY SHACK

It started off being a very sad day :-( as i saw that H&M are doing Nirvana t-shirts. Gasp, yes, this, is what its come to, im afraid. Sure Kurt would be pleasantly er, surprised? bleurgh.die!!!!!aaarggh.gasp.stab.eye.bleed.aarghhh.die.stab.bleed.
really? really? aaaak.die = sad day indeed. yes, really.

HOWEVER, thank GOD, (of god.com fame ) the day continued and we ended up at the Happy Shack in Camden Lock Market yo! 
Where amongst alot of other wicked shit that i really wanted to buy, i 
found these supercool cotton tote bags


and you just go hey, YES,  YOU KNOW!!!
I want both and
theyre just £10 which is pretty ridiculous.
Contact the dashing Philip Normal for one and im sure some other things, if you're lucky.
Yes!
Be ahead of the trend
I WENT TO PECKHAM AND SURVIVED

DED-EX UNHAPPY VALENTINES DAY VIDEO

Being released just in time for Valentines Day, DED-EX is an eagerly anticipated music video collaboration between the achingly gorgeous performance artist and singer RUBY BLUES and film-maker ANNICK WOLFERS.
Its pretty smokin'......
Husky grieving liquid chocolate vocals combined with a messy sleep deprived Ruby, glitchy electro beats, awesome designer outfits from London's finest, dreamlike imagery and slick production make this video one of the most exciting releases this year!!
We love it, 'you see how you always bring the worst out in me'
Yep, I can relate.
Ruby Blues is an acclaimed performer and a massive creative force (when i say force i mean tornado) on the London music and art scene, best known for her work as director of the incredible and inspiring TRASH CITY project.
Annick Wolfers is a London based film-maker and photographer, whose most recent work involved a collaboration with Pete Doherty for Italian Vogue. Get in!
The video showcases the designs of Rachel Friere(rising dark star of the UK fashion scene and self-confessed 'cheerleader for the Apocalypse')
and also that of costumier Lyall Hakaraia (the legendary 'Mayoress of Dalston' and proprietor of hip scenester nightspot Vogue Fabrics)
The video also features the stop motion facial tattoo design by another  incredibly talented hot creative designer Natasha Lawes.
I am super stoked that all these creative forces have unleashed their inertia upon us.
Inertia all over your face.
No exes were harmed in the making of the video, but i kinda wish they were.
See the video here or check it out on http://www.ded-ex.com/

NEW KINETIC ARTISTS (The future starts here)

We love The Kinetic Museum and this weekend was the always incredible Kinetic Art Fair, celebrating new works from over 40 Kinetic Artists, one of our favourites was Alex Posadas new work entitled 'The Particle'
The work he is doing is incredible, from super suits for Chicks on Speed to all kinds of unimaginable interactive artworks, designs, performances and installations!
'The Particle' is based on chaos, the elements, atomic particles and the creation of new molecules through evolution. The Particle explores these processes of creation.
Watch the video of the Installation here:


We also loved these simple but super effective neon tube installations from Dianne Harris.
Named 'Eternally Yours'
As well as this gorgeous, haunting Paper, mirror and LED light installation from Korean artist Jun Ga Young, entitled  'Whistling Sea'

As well as really interesting strobe-static- movement work from Tim Lewis
and Skeletal Robotic experiments from Christiaan Zwanikken,
 Most of the work was , well kinetic , making it really difficult to photograph, but i suggest you click the links to discover more!
Lastly a Video of Ivan Blacks new piece entitled INK.
Stunning and genius.
