My Cultural Life - London

 I’m not too sure what it is about surreal art that does it for me – maybe it’s the fact that its reasoning can be as obscure or as logical as the artist chooses it to be. This exhibition is no exception.

It was a family affair, as the Dobermans unveiled some of their incredible art pieces with a special Q&A session to allow people access into their creative world.

Held at the Victoria and Albert museum, Kylie: The Exhibition features 200 of the performer's costumes, accessories, photographs and awards. Including the 50p gold-coloured hotpants she wore in the video for her first No 1 single for 10 years, Spinning Around, in 2000. Not only has Kylie lent dresses and hats from her nine tours but also the pop star’s bling is on show for the world to see.

Christina Warner reflects on how London's premier art gallery has been there through thick and thin, and never fails to surprise.

Held in the prestigious Gallery 27 in the heart of London’s art community, the exhibition of prints by Ronnie Wood was bursting with those in the know from the art world.

Think Spain: think beaches, Sangria, 18-30’s holidays and bull fighting. Not today. On Sunday, 3rd September 2006 the Regent Street Festival saw 40,000 people celebrate a day dedicated to Spanish culture, music and cuisine.

The Che Guevara exhibition was dedicated to the iconic photograph taken by Cuban photographer Alberto Korda in 1960 at the height of the Cuban revolution; the image has now become one of the most viewed and replicated of all time; making an icon of its subject, the revolutionary guerrilla; Ernest “Che” Guevara.

I’d been looking forward to this…a lot! An exhibition solely dedicated to that great era in fashion – the 1960’s! We all know the stories; that London was the place to be in a time when it was cool to be “hip”. My one reservation was whether or not the exhibition would do justice to the era coined: “the swinging sixties”?
