Ikon Eastside will be closing their doors for winter and bidding a ‘blonde farewell’ on 3 December.

Starting at 8pm, they’re inviting you to party with them into the evening, taking inspiration from their final exhibition of 2010, AVPD’s Hitchcock Hallway, with the optional dress code of a blonde or white wig.

Alfred Hitchcock is renowned for films featuring blonde leading women such as Grace Kelly, Kim Novak and Tippi Hedren. Music, light and atmosphere all play with notions of mistaken identity and voyeurism.

AVPD: Hitchcock Hallway at Ikon Eastside

Jamie Shovlin: Hiker Meat at Grand Union
Exhibition continues to 13 November 2010

Grand Union is proud to present an exhibition of new work by London-based artist Jamie Shovlin. His latest project Hiker Meat examines the degree to which a film director (or artist) has control over their works’ intended message, exploring the inherent tension within any creative endeavour.

An artist’s talk with Jamie Shovlin will take place on 12 November.

While I’m at it, I may as well give a mention to the other exhibitions which have recently opened at Ikon Brindley Place, Kitagawa Utamaro, Donald Judd and Anthony Goicolea, which are also running until 14 November.
