Tom Hunter: Living in Hell and Other Stories

A very haunting and moving display of hackney based photography by Tom Hunter is still on display at the National Gallery.

Â

I totally loved this series – It really tapped into just how a bit potty hackney is…Taking inspiration for the pieces by headlines in the hackney gazette was just hilarious…Really well worth checking out.

Mr Freedom Vs Jimi Tenor

Rescoring cult classic movies is becoming the performance piece of the every hip artist these days…but when its done right it can be genius. I was pretty excited to see that Jimi Tenor is rescoring William Kliens – ‘Mr. Freedom‘. This is worth going to just for the film itself. Its a satire, it has a superhero dressed as a american football player…and its french! Oh yeah and the master Serge Gainsbourg originally scored it and he also pops up as mr drugstore…oh yes!

The showing is at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on Friday 24 March 2006, 7:45 pm.

Watch the goodness
