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

  • Piece of Cake

    Some say it’s better than sex. So it’s apt that London’s latest bakery is appearing in a derelict Soho sex shop, courtesy of fashion favourite Patrick Cox and Cake Boy’s Eric Lanlard. Oh crumbs...

  • Sibling Rivalry

    {mosimage}

    Little sisters steal your make-up. Younger brothers reveal your porn stash. But we’re coming around to the idea of younger siblings - especially when they’re as charming as the latest slew of restaurant sister-sites popping up around Londontown, including Polpo’s newest baby, Polpetto.

  • The Only Way Is Out, Ba-by

    {mosimage}

    London has it’s fair share of outdoor spots. And for sure nothing breaks the daily grind quite like a leisurely lunch in the wild with friends (preferably attractive ones: you’re on show here, remember). But fancy an al fresco nibble and all too often you find yourself with yet another slither of a Pret or a disappointingly greasy local Chinese. And just try getting a table out in the fresh, balmy air without at least 24 hours notice… Oh how those waiters laugh.

  • Lick This

    {mosimage}

    Looking for a way to cool down this summer? Time to stuff the frozen yogurt, take your tongue out of the freezer and wrap it around some of the city’s chicest new gelato joints – and they’re not too calorific either.

  • Feeding Frenzy

    {mosimage}

    Strawberries with cream, picnics in the park and canapés in the courtyard – a gastro-spread which only points to one thing – summer. But if traditional fare isn’t tickling your taste buds, there’s a new crop of quirky cuisine to tempt you away from the green.
