Saatchi – Newspeak – 2010 – Saatchi Gallery

Newspeak is open at the Saatchi gallery and follows on from last year’s Sensation and stunning New Art from China.

The joy about the exhibition is that it is free but the downside is that sometimes there is a tendency to want to rush through some of the rooms because there is ‘nothing to see’ in police parlance. The mix of artists means that there is sometimes a hit and miss approach so that some things will stun and amaze whilst others will give rise to a shrug of the shoulders.

Clock Opera and Fenech Soler at the Garage – HMV Next Big Thing – February 2010

So, its Friday night and it is Highbury Corner. After a day thinking about ice cream and the various flavours that it comes in it was down to the Garage for the HMV Next Big Thing show featuring Clock Opera, Fenech Soler and Marina and the Diamonds.

So what do we know about them so far?

Clock Opera at cargo – 29 January, 2010

A cold night to be out, so it was good to be inside the cavernous space that is Cargo in Shoreditch.

Sadly someone had seen fit to make the inside even cooler by switching the air con to ‘ice age’ setting but fortunately a quiet word from a gentlemen in authority led to a b bit more heat.

So it was that Clock Opera played their first London gig of the year (that I have been to at least). They were just back from Bournemouth and they have been busy.

Earth, Moon, and Jupiter as Seen From Mars

What does Earth look like when viewed from Mars? At 13:00 GMT on 8 May 2003, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) had an opportunity to find out. In addition, a fortuitous alignment of Earth and Jupiter—the first planetary conjunction viewed from another planet—permitted the MOC to acquire an image of both of these bodies and their larger satellites.

Fire in Peckham, families evacuated, partially completed houses burnt down.

The headline could be from May 2005 and the place could be just a few hundred yards away but the images and feelings are so similar.

In 2005 a new development, part of the Evolution Quarter of what was formerly the North Peckham Estate was burnt to the ground when a fire started on the site and destroyed the partially built homes that were part of the Berkely Homes new build.

This time around there is a similar event – as before it is thought that gas canisters exploded and from here on Calypso Crescent at 4:30 this morning it did sound like it, with people evacuated and damage to inhabited properties.

Clock Opera have a single – White Noise – buy it today!

Those of you who have followed Clock Opera as they have wowed the audience will already know that there’s many a digital tune to be had from their myspace page and they have been drip feeding the industry with their nuggets of pure creativity for some time now.

But this is not digits, not ones and zeroes, not a emailable packet of pure information, no, not at all. This is a seven inch vinyl release of White Noise (and with the hauntingly melodic Alouette on the B side you have twice the pleasure).

An evening of entertainment featuring a host of acts from Luke Wirght compering through performance poetry from Josh Idehen, live DJ sets, comedy and theatre. But most impressive was set by Clock Opera which intertwined with the world premiere of Showtime by Tangled Feet.
