Geisha Arts does it right</h1> <article> <h1>Geisha Arts does it right</h1> <p>Leon — Mon, 03 May 2010 20:19:56 +0000</p> We’ve all seen bar/cafe arts venues, usually an uneasy collaboration of cafe owner and poor calibre artists, with bland art getting a distinct back stage to the lattes, lagers and grilled paninis. At the opening of Geisha Arts (see here for details), I had a sudden realisation: this is the first time I’ve seen it [...]<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LondonArtBlog?a=ASQ9qGrL7tE:PXEqYf_5j5A:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LondonArtBlog?a=ASQ9qGrL7tE:PXEqYf_5j5A:D7DqB2pKExk"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LondonArtBlog?a=ASQ9qGrL7tE:PXEqYf_5j5A:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LondonArtBlog?a=ASQ9qGrL7tE:PXEqYf_5j5A:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LondonArtBlog?a=ASQ9qGrL7tE:PXEqYf_5j5A:l6gmwiTKsz0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LondonArtBlog?a=ASQ9qGrL7tE:PXEqYf_5j5A:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Jarvis Cocker Cultural Ambassador</h1> <p>Leon — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:24:12 +0000</p> Jarvis Cocker is the inaugural cultural ambassador of Eurostar’s Culture Connect initiative.

The detachment and dislocation, displayed by his Harajuku girls and Giant Freaks, is still there, but this is altogether a much darker chocolate. He has stayed much closer to home this time, and a pretty disturbing picture of home he paints.
