Rainy Afternoon

 Really enjoyed Alasdair McLellan and Olivier Rizzo teaming up up for AnOther Magazine Issue 25. Mixing high gloss with easy going casual or work wear isn't groundbreaking but I've always been a fan and love the way it has been done here.
 The only way to wear a floor length sequin dress
 Rizzo tends to use lots of clothes and props from his own 'archive'. This makes me feel a lot better about all the bags of clothes I've got, bought for a purpose that hasn't quite presented itself yet.

Dig by Daniel Silver

Today I went to the exhibition 'Dig' by artist Daniel Silver. Curated by Artangel, the sculpture was displayed in what was once one of the biggest Odeon cinemas in central London but has now been reduced to a building site. The artwork and site worked so well together that even though sculpture isn't always my thing, I found the installation thought provoking and inspiring.
The downstairs dungeon bit is the part you've probably already seen on someone's instagram. I loved the swampy boardwalk around the standing statues.
And I really liked this unintentional art work by the invigilators
 
For more see the Artangel website, here.
