ARTHUR MADERSON: PAINTINGS
Arthur Maderson: Path in Glenshelane, Artist Daughter
In association with Solo Arte
4th October - 8th October
Arthur Maderson, whose credits include winning the Anne Berry Award and the Cornellisen Award, is increasingly recognised as being a leading exponent of contemporary Impressionism. Recognising his roots that reach out beyond Monet to the Book of Kells and Gothic stained glass, in this sense his aims are those of Cezanne, which is to convert our experience of momentary sensations into something lasting, thoughtful and timeless.
Maderson is a previous exhibitor of both the Royal Academy and the Royal West of England Academy.
Edmond Terakopian: Love Your Job
In partnership with G- Technology
11th October - 15th October
G - Technology's "Driven Creativity" exhibition features winning entries from The Competition For Driven Creatives including work from filmmakers, photographers and musicians from all over Europe. Unlike other creative competitions, work was judged not just for aesthetic qualities but also for the invention and drive that went into creating it. The late nights, harsh environments and obstacles that artists overcame to produce remarkable results.
This exhibition will feature at The Strand Gallery, Janine Bean Gallery in Berlin and Ofr in Paris with one overall winner to be announced.
LONDON INDEPENDENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Astrid Schulz: Aurelien
The 23rd LIP Annual
18th October - 29th October
London Independent Photography (LIP) is a London based group of over 600 photographers. The work of LIP is based in the view that photographic images can mirror the personal experiences and feelings of the photographer and that making them can be a means to personal growth.
This year the annual exhibition, now in its 23rd year, received over 670 prints and were judged by external selectors Bridget Coaker (Picture Editor at the Guardian and the Observer) and Mick Williamson (Head of Photography at the London Metropolitan University).

Human Centipede 2.
After all the controversy from the Human Centipede, it is back once again, but even more explicit then the first, if that is at all possible. The film, which won’t be released in the UK, but has remarkably managed to get past the US equivalent of the British Board of Classification.
The reason for the ban: “The principal focus of The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is the sexual arousal of the central character at both the idea and the spectacle of the total degradation, humiliation, mutilation, torture, and murder of his naked victims. Examples of this include a scene early in the film in which he masturbates whilst he watches a DVD of the original Human Centipede film, with sandpaper wrapped around his penis."
"Martin is a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his mother in a bleak housing project. He works the night shift as a security guard in an equally grim and foreboding underground parking complex. To escape his dreary existence, Martin loses himself in the fantasy world of the cult horror film The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009), fetishizing the meticulous surgical skills of the gifted Dr. Heiter, whose knowledge of the human gastrointestinal system inspires Martin to attempt the unthinkable"

The Bugged Out Weekender is staged on the South Coast at Butlins Resort in Bognor Regis, West Sussex.
Bugged Out are now in its 17th year making it one of the UK’s longest running club nights. Bugged Out boasted LFO at their first night back in November 1994 and since then they’ve had everyone from Daft Punk, Green Velvet, The Chemical Brothers, Richie Hawtin, Tiga, Boys Noize and Carl Craig play at their nights.
As well as running club nights in the UK and Europe, Bugged Out has become a major part of London’s Field Day festival and has also released acclaimed compilations by Erol Alkan, Damian Lazarus, Ivan Smagghe, Miss Kittin, Simian Mobile Disco, Klaxons, Hot Chip, Boys Noize & Brodinski.
The Bugged Out Weekender promises to reflect the clubs history and future with a programme consisting of all the best in techno, acid house and bass music. Relatively new acts and collectives like Joy Orbison and Night Slugs will feature on the same bill as globally huge DJs like Diplo and Chase & Status and Bugged Out legends like techno founders Green Velvet and Kevin Saunderson. The dance scene is pushing the boundaries like no other genre of late and the weekender will reflect and capture this.
The club partners so far confirmed for the weekend are the mighty Union who run club nights all over the UK, have hosted huge events at London’s Fabric and been present at all the big dance festivals in 2011 culminating at their biggest event yet at Brixton Academy this October; the Guardian nailed London’s Night Slugs when they called them “the indefinable dance music team” such is their love of cross pollinating genres, headed up by Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 they’ll be joining up with Glasgow’s Numbers gang who have also been responsible for some of the best music released in recent years from the likes of Hudson Mohawke, SBTRKT and Rustie. We’ve given the keys to the pub to London’s best bar Dalston Superstore who will be bringing Horse Meat Disco’s Severino and Batty Bass’s Hannah Holland along to pull the pints.
Giving a taste of what can be expected from the Bugged Out Weekender, Bugged Out will host a series of London club nights ‘Road to the Weekender’ throughout October and November 2011.

Come Together@ Space Ibiza
Friday 2nd September saw the arrival once again of Come Together at Space, where it is predominately known for uniting sounds and bringing people together from across the globe. The night is held in the centre of Playa d’en Bossa, Ibiza Town, where all the real ‘party people’ stay. The legendary venue offers you the real clubbing experience, mind blowing nights, on trend acts and world class DJs.
Overwhelmingly offering you six different areas in the club, which can guarantee to fulfill your musical taste in some way or the other, (however it is a shame their drink prices don’t do the same).
The main room otherwise known as Discoteca, continuously kept the crowd on their feet, leaving little space at times to move but it didn’t seem to faze anyone, especially when Tinie Tempah entered the stage. Being a fan or not, he really entertained the crowd with his commercial hits and the vibe around the venue was buzzing. Despite the intense heat everyone was infatuated by him.
It was clear people were happy to stay in one position which is a shame considering there were some other impressive DJs around doing their thing. Such as one part of Faze Action duo, Simon Lee in the Red Box room, which theme of the night was future disco. He kept his intimate crowd dancing away to his disco funk beats and no one seemed tireless. He played appropriate music for the Ibiza soul goers and ideally he would of really been appreciated downstairs.
Other acts of the night concluded of Nero, Pendulum (El Hornet DJ Set) inside the main room. The Sunset Terrace saw Push Push presents Elio Riso and Friends. With Jaguar Skills immediately coming on after Tinie Tempah so the crowd didn’t become restless.
A highlight for many I’m sure was witnessing the low flying planes while drinking cocktails on the terrance. It was a surreal moment which I hope I can capture again, one day.
