Archive: True Arttart never sleeps 13 Sep 04

Well my darlings, what a week we had, the spills, the frills, the hoorah's, the delights and the frights.

Phaidon by far rocked 3 little ladies world in north London , in the ole Saatchi haunt, wonders will never cease, why on earth he ever moved to tout the south bank! Cocktails were served till the bitter end however poor show on the ceramic buckets of bread sticks and Sainsbury style yoghurt dips. But to make up for it there were lashings of eye candy for both sexes, which till now has been rather thin. Oh sit down at the back you pretty boys, we weren't talking about you!

Now I am not sure if words can completely explain the realisation that even Celine Dion can be really very super cool, well that is if Alain Platel gets his hands on her. About 20 dogs, crazy set design and a very eclectic mix of dancers and opera singers adorned Sadlers Wells stage to really titillate all your senses, all I can say is WOW.

The down side of last week was Gagosian's Brittannia St's poor excuse for an exhibition; I mean why bother, if the art can't keep up with your private view beverage!

So tonight kicks off with Glenn Brown at the Serp, a little too muddy for my gold ballet pumps, but well worth a Wellington stroll across the park. Now tomorrow we have a real treat in store, how do ya fancy a bit of Parky and not the TV kind, no mister man behind the camera Norman ? Yes oh yes please Tim Jefferies can we have some photies to keep the abode looking dapper!
With the weekend slowly creeping in, trek down to deepest darkest Camberwell to check out what Steve McQueen has been up to at South London gallery and to truly kick into the weekend have a swig of Liverpool Biennial or if you want something a little more lukewarm and close to home, I think new space Spitfire's installation piece by Marta Marce might be just what you are looking for.

Keep your eyes peeled my little Arttartents for stories of frivolity and true debauchery next week.

Arttart if you know what is good for you xxx
