The first in a series of Art Talks at the Institute this month. We will be repeating at the weekend for those that missed it.

In her 9th decade, Yayoi Kusama is still producing works that stun the art world. This Spring two of her famous infinity rooms and a retrospective of her work come to together at The Art Factory. If you have not been lucky enough to experience her work in the Real World why not come and experience it here and learn more about Japan's most famous living artist.

Wishing you all a happy Braque Friday

Then the loud sound did seem to fade. Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase (648 kHz). That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive.

The Radio Caroline pirate ship was probably one of the best-known “unofficial” radio stations in Britain. By sticking to off-coast locations, the boat ensured that it could remain outside of the legal reach of the British authorities. Without any broadcasting laws to hold them back, the DJs on boats like Radio Caroline gave their listeners the raw, authentic music and entertainment they were looking for. These rock-and-roll pirates changed radio forever.

Big thank you to everyone who came to this years Annual Transylvanian Convention! You made it an awesome event :)

Surfing can be traced as the source of skateboarding. Some surfers had the idea to transfer the feeling of riding waves onto the streets to defy times of day with a gentle swell. Not without any reason these dudes were called “asphalt surfers”. At two spots in the world a kind of a skateboard was developed in the early 1950s: California and Hawaii. By 1963 the first skate contest took place at Hermosa Beach, California.

Tony Hawk got his first sponsor, Dogtown skateboards at the age of 12. Two years later, he became a professional skateboarder. Hawk was considered one of the top skateboarders in the world by the time he was 16 years old. His ability to perform impressive stunts fueled Hawk's popularity including the "900" rotating 900 degrees —about two and a half turns— in mid-air. Hawk was the first to successfully complete this move on the Half-pipe at the 1999 eXtreme Games.

Why not come down to The Factory Half-pipe and try and pull off this legendary trick.
Hello? Is there anybody in there?

Battersea Power Station was a 500Mw power station designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (designer of the red telephone box) and built in the 1930's it was decommissioned in 1983 and is a designated Grade II listed building. Since decommission there have been several proposals for its redevelopment including a Theme Park, Shopping Mall, Entertainment Venue, an 'Eco Tower, Biomass waste powerplant, Eco-dome, Urban Park, Football Stadium and Apple Headquarters.

This Iconic land-mark reflecting in the waters of the Thames has featured in the films of Hitchcock, Monty Python, Batman, 1984, Doctor Who and probably the most likely reason for worldwide recognition is its appearance on Pink Floyds 1977 album cover Animals.

Lovingly recreated, complete with flying pig, Battersea sits within the estates of the Art Factory and hosts a display of Pink Floyd memorabilia including the art work of Storm Thorgerson. The venue is also a nightclub which will host themed music events.

We're on a mission from God.

You work your side of the street and I'll work mine

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water

I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders depending upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself 'slightly' killed.

My Reviews

Synchronicity

Synchronicity /ˌsɪŋkrəˈnɪsɪti/ - the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. A Genuinely astounding Art Installation, without doubt the best I have experienced in any Virtual World. If I'd walked into the Tate or MoMA and experienced a 10th of this I would have been blown-away!

Stark

Really love this Region! Lots of places to explore and discover including a beach, entertainment areas and an art gallery island. There are even houses available for residents. Mathilda is a great builder with some wonderful ideas, be sure to pick-up a copy of the Stark Magazine from the Vending machines!

Skye ArtSpace

Wonderful Art Space and amazing Particle shows by Lexx and Music by Edison. If you get chance do visit!

Wolfe Reach

Great Grid and friendly people, I will be back :)
