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

  • What's for Supper: Persian Immersion

    The flight to Tehran was like one huge party. My fellow passengers passed around salted melon seeds and were full of curiosity about the ‘blonde girl’ going to Iran all alone. By the time we landed I’d had countless invitations to dinner, to visit people at home, and even to a few weddings.  So began my month-long adventure in Iran...
