Soooo Kanye…. Directorial debut

So Kanye....

This blog is abount, art, street art, music, fashion, marketing, lifestyle and checking out what Kanye West is doing.

So I do not know too much yet but already it sounds brilliant, here it is. He is going to debut a film at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, it is in the genre of Thriller and only lasts 30 minutes. Other information available is that it will feature other wordsmith friends.

But the best bit is that he has not even started it. In typical Kanye fashion, he will not start until the final moment and then have ultimate confidence that it will stand up to anything that Scorsese or the Coen Brothers can throw together over a year or two of production.

Nothing this man can not do, MC, sing, model, act, fashion designer, award ceremony invader and now director.

Soooooo Kanye.

Tate Tanks

A tank now

The Tate Modern has got a couple of new exhibition spaces, two massive concrete tanks which will be the first space dedicated to live performance, art and installation. I’m intrigued to see what this will involve, they look absolutely huge. The tanks were formerly used to hold oil when the Tate Modern used to be a power station until 1981

A tank then

Artists to feature first are….

Sung Hwan Kim, not seen his stuff before but it involves music, light, sculpture and music. This sounds pretty cool, based on the size and scale of the tanks.

A minimalist dance performance by Anne Teresa Keersmaeker called Fase: Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich, never really been one for dance but in these spaces it could be pretty epic.

Then there is Eddie Peake, he recently filmed a naked football game, now I like football and I like men, surely this is too good to be true. This time he is developing something new though… open to seeing that as well, nothing wrong with a bit of artistic flesh after all.

I also reckon this would be a great space for a massive techno party…. just my opinion though

Ink.

Different kind of street art, more addictive mind

Skull to remember

One for misbehaviour, as a bit of a reminder, hasn’t made much difference yet though.

Rose for one not forgotten

Things I’ve seen…

Long wall of paint...

Few of my favourite shots from today, mooching down the canals of London in the East. One entire wall of graf which was about 18ft tall, here are a few pieces….

Silkey & TLY TRP

TRP

This is the best thing I have seen for ages…. madness

Not sure who it is but it's dead good

Plus this one I spotted around the corner

No idea... but looks nice

Sweet Toof by the waterside

Nose peg

Yet more from the man who has painted his way around the Eastend for at least the last 4 years.

He is anonymous and has not revealed his true identity, there are rumours that it is Martin Lea Brown, I have no idea at all and Brown would not confirm nor deny. You can see the similarities in a few of his pieces, sometimes it’s best not to know

Anyway… more bits for you here

Blurred

This one is a bit shit but we will put it down to the crap surface

Rotten Toof

I have also spotted another which has been started but not finished, once I get the time I’ll see if it has been filled in

Homophobic attack in Mile End

We are all equal, wether we are tall or short, ugly or beautiful, black, white, yellow or green, male or female, regardless of religion, regardless of the money you earn or where you come from.

This should be true of everything, this mindless violence shocked me today

Nike Air Huarache….

Even the tongue is cool

Basically counting down to payday. These are sex in the form of a shoe

From the finest shoe series ever

 

Gimp…. that is all

That is all

The Angelic. London pub, pretty nondescript, shit name, kind of place that sells ‘gastro’ food, kind of place that people who wear Fat Face or FCUK, the type that listen to Keane, probably reside in Clapham and drink cider over ice before heading home before midnight. Pretty vanilla… but apparently they have a gimp downstairs. I now like

The Toasters…

If you live in LDN then you will have certainly seen a toaster or two on walls around the capital. They are a collective who tag, stencil and graf across the world. Pretty prolific too.

Hackney Road toasting

I don not know a lot about the guys… as yet. Waiting to hear more, anyone got any more info for me? Website? Flickr?

Check out the vimeo

ROA exhibition out east right now kids…

I did not go ce soir, this was largely because I headed to Columbia Road and ended up having a drink with Gandalf’s Eastend younger balder funnier more laddy brother and my good pal who I know as Peter Pan.

Watership Down

In the meantime here is the link to ROA’s show

Lots of ROA’s stuff along Hackney Road, Tourists are always searching it out
