Vote Techno party
By Alexia in Berlin
I had an interesting question the other day from a group of English tourists. They asked me where they could go to find an illegal warehouse party in Berlin. The group's spokesperson explained: "We sometimes go to these parties in Brighton. They aren't advertised and they're usually pretty filthy but the music is way better than it is in a club." He was talking about free parties (or squat parties, as they are also known).

The Foundry:
A Retrospective
by Spike Spiegel
For over 10 years, The Foundry in East London has been a home to artists wanting to exhibit work as well as avant-garde musicians and political activists. But the venue is now under threat by developers wanting to build a boutique hotel. It is hoped that The Foundry will re-locate somewhere nearby but this is still uncertain.

Mutate Britain @ Behind the Shutters Gallery
Review by Alexia
Photos Alexia
The first room of Mutate Britain hits me in a series of sensory impressions that I don’t really need to analyze in order to understand. It's almost too much for a writer to put into words, and for a moment I'm tempted just to do the same thing everyone else does: stare, take some pictures and move on. But then I decide to get my pen and paper out and have a go at describing it.

For Art's Sake:
Heather Crowther Needs Your Help
HEATHER E. CROWTHER is an artist selected to exhibit in the sixth Florence Biennale, taking place in December. Although she was schooled in fine art, Heather has embraced contemporary techniques and themes in her work -- along with a deep interest in the relationship between nature and science, as expressed in her use of Sacred Geometry.
She is currently looking for sponsorship to enable her to exhibit in Florence. If you can help in any way, please contact her to find out more. In the following artist's statement, she talks about the themes and principles underpinning her work.

The Night of The Vaguely Dead
@ Coronet, London
28 October 2006
Review by Nunuki, photos by Genie
You better believe the surreal hype surrounding Lost Vagueness events because it is well deserved and truly earned.
After arriving at The Coronet, the historic art deco cinema and the ideal setting for The Night of The Vaguely Dead we were greeted by Paka the Incredible mechanical-cyber Trojan-style horse and the very friendly door staff.

Lost Spice
@ Hackney Empire

Review by Dr Rocket, photos by Genie
Ever been to Lost Vagueness parties??
Well, here is a whiff of what you’ve been missing till now! We’re at the Hackney Empire and the street surrounding the building is full of mischievous individuals dressed like can-can dancers and cheap gangsters and we start wondering if the local shop owners thought their dinner got spiked!

“Dollies & Divas”
Special Private Party
Georgie Tier and Nancy Farmer
La Viande Gallery, 17 May 2006

Georgie Tier
I first saw Georgie’s work at Lost Vagueness festival last summer and was very impressed indeed. A friend of mine has recently described Georgie’s very unique style as “Beryl Cook meets Picasso” and this is, strangely, rather fitting.

Lost Vagueness
The Lost Elephant Ball
The Coronet
Saturday 6 May, 2006
review by Mistress Eli, photos Bill Vincent
Now where is that elephant? Perhaps I will find it at the Ball. But, no, I hunted far and wide and never saw even the tiniest glimpse of the elephant. But I did see a wealth of absurdly but appropriately dressed party animals having an absolutely fabulous time.

“Vulvic portrait artist” Charles Sayer
Reported by Mistress Eli
Photos Charles Sayer
I first met Charles Sayer through his ex-wife and my good friend, Charlotte. Charlotte had told me that Charles would like to paint me and arranged an introduction. I had already heard a little about Charles and wondered if I would be liberated enough to pose for him. Fortunately, after meeting and chatting to him I decided that this wouldn’t be a problem and I am now the very lucky owner of a beautiful painting which proudly adorns my wall.
