Everyone needs live performance in their lives, everyone needs to get out there and enjoy moments with each other. It gets better if what you see is something unique or at least different with what you are used to see.
It’s Your Funeral, a new monthly event by Guerrilla Zoo founder James Elphick and The Late Night Shop Collective’s Charlie Buckitt may just be the answer and soundslike a good and quirky night out.
You will have understand by now that you are up for a twisted and macabre event which takes the form of a theatrical New Orleans jazz style funeral experience of mournful humour and morbid performance! It’s Your Funeral is a dark tragicomedy journey, breathing fresh life into grim tall tales of the dead.
The event is launching on Thursday 11th April 2013 and then will run every 2nd thursday of the month in the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club
What – It’s Your Funeral When – 11/04/13 then every second thursday of the month Where –Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club | 42-44 POLLARD ROW LONDON E2 6NB

Artists Blu and Ericailcane joined forces in Bologna and have produced a rather mighty mural in Bologna, Italy. Ericailcane got in charge of the animals while Blu put up the cage and other elements.
When I first saw Lorella Paleni’s work, I went “OoOOooOo”. And then, “umm”. I looked closer and then took a step back, paused for a short while and thought: what a cool mix of styles, you get some abstract in her landscapes and background often tangled into each other by a series of layers.
You get the surreal with the artist’s character and figures, never in a broad day light or clearly distinguishable but always in some intriguing scenarios or situations – a man seems to splash water on his face outside his house, in his garden perhaps? And is it actually water?
It is impossible to know for sure what happens in Lorella Paleni’s paintings and you quickly find yourself immmersed into them, trying to work out the snallest details in the hope of getting the bigger picture but we are looking here at breaking into the artist’s mind here, this is anyway how I feel looking at her work.

I was up for a treat, a helicopter fly and guess what, I got another treat: the Great British Sculpture Show currently in full swing at Hatfield house.
After having been thrilled by the helicopter excursion, I was eager to come back down to earth and wander amongst the bronze, wood and stone sculptures set against the formal topiary of the famous gardens and enchanting woodland at Hatfield House
There was over 70 sculptures from 22 artists such as David Goode, Geoffrey Dashwood, Hamish Mackie, Ian Rank-Broadly and Etienne Millner but we’ll focus on Wilfred Pritchard for now
About the artist – Wilfred Pritchard is the “nom de guerre” for the sculptures of Eddie Powell. He is owner and curator of The Sculpture Park, works as a Photographer as Eddie Powell and Sculptor as Wilfred Pritchard and has sold many sculptures worldwide privately from The Sculpture Park and through various auction houses, including Sothebys and Christies.
Now, skeletons are the fundamental basis for teaching sculpture. Luvvie has one included in his Sculpture School for reference and many have pinned them together in various forms. Wilfried Pritchard is just doing this and you can encounter a series of rather comic sculptures like a group of dancing skeletons.
WHAT – The Great British Sculpture Show WHEN – 5 April to 30 September WHERE – Gardens of Hatfield House in Hertfordshire
