Iguana Girlies
December 02, 2005

Hope to get to see The Night Of The Iguana by Tennessee Williams soon.
The London stageshow stars Woody Harrelson. I really enjoyed the Film, directed by John Huston in 1964 which starred Richard Burton. I haven't seen it for years but remember it being very intense, on a par with Whose Afraid Of Virginia Woolf. In fact it was on the set of Iguana that Burton, met Elizabeth Taylor, although she isn't in the film. Deborah Kerr is.

It was whilst looking for a copy to rent from Screen Select that I happened across this series of DVDs by Illuminations. Illuminations publishes videos and DVDs which can be bought from their website, museums and bookshops. I was particularly interested to see that they have a DVD of Iain Sinclair's London Orbital which I am currently reading. There are a lot of other interesting titles as well.

I keep reading stuff about Acid Drops and Sugar Candy, which is an exhibition currently showing at the Transistion Gallery in Hackney and at Fosterart, 20 Rivington Street, London EC2.

Fortified by sweets and alco pops Acid Drops & Sugar Candy deconstructs Christmas time overindulgence with a show of small paintings and drawings by over 40 contemporary artists. Their acerbic little pearls delve deep into saccharine sweetness and pull out the inevitable dark depression that this annual seasonal excess brings. So it says here!

It's a bit of a mixed bunch - Some of it is pretty juvenile [or should I interpret that as Naive?] but Paul Murphy's Girly Playing Cards [above] are good - He's also know as Catfunt on Flickr. A man whose photographic style can only be described as drunk!
