Art For All

Have a late night affair with your Tesco Metro, mainly because it's the only thing open?

Well, now you can get some culture before you hit the curry aisles.

Not in any way associated with Tesco (but am sure Tesco wishes it was), 'TescoDisco' is a new weekly nocturnal art salon at 43 South Molton Street. While showing art in a club/bar setting after hours may not sound particularly new, this one promises an experience that is totally unique. Each week a combination of art, installations, live performance and music complement a monthly theme (we love a bit of theme'ing).

This month the genre happens to be 'Disintegration' and launches this week with 'Tokyo Mon Amor' - celebrating the Japanese love affair with the electronic world and its imagined dystopian repercussions. On view will be fine art and short films combined with sounds provided by Sonic Dragolgo and Pop.

Future themes include Jack The Ripper and Stuckists: Alternative Turner Prize. As you've probably guessed it's a tad more alternative than a few wall paintings with some random lounge CD on shuffle.

TescoDisco - art for all complete with extended hours.

TescoDisco - launches tonight 8pm-3am
43 South Molton St, W1 - £10

  • Wine Chap's Wine Tips: Truffles & a Tutonic Tipple?

    Fresh from the first ever German Premier Grand Cru tasting, as hosted by the infamous folks at The Wine Barn, it seemed apt that the Wine Chap should bring you this Teutonic special to whet your Euro-friendly palate…

  • Steaking A Claim

    I was a vegetarian once. It was a dark time, filled with lentils, tofu, and things that grew out of the ground as if of their own volition. Then steak found me.

  • What's for Supper: Keepin' it Raw

    For carnivores seeking a quality protein high - there can be no better way to enjoy meat than in its purest, unadulterated form. Yes.. that means raw.

     

  • Ethiopian Kitfo

    Ethiopian food has to be one of the most under-rated cuisines. Made up of tangy, spiced  lentil and chicken stews served on a delicious sourdough crepe called ‘injera’, it is one of my absolute favourites.

     

  • Beef Carpaccio with Horseradish Crème Fraiche

    This is a lovely way to make carpaccio and would make a delicious first course for Sunday lunch. The lemon oil adds a really nice flavour and any leftovers can be drizzled over over roast fish or pasta tossed with artichokes and peas.
