Fly By Night London by American artist Duke Riley will begin tonight as part of 1418 Now, LIFT Festival and the Greenwich & Docklands International Festival. Riley has created a breathtaking performance over the River Thames, with 1500 beautiful homing pigeons that he’s been training over three months. Each of the birds wears an LED …
SEEN has always been a huge elctronica fan so was very intrigued to hear the latest work by Helena Hauff. “Qualm” is her new album, released on 3 August 2018 via Ninja Tune. The title has a duality that Hauff enjoys – the German word “Qualm” (kvalm) translates as fumes or smoke, whilst the English …
SEEN often ponders that it doesn’t matter how many years pass, time and again, film creatives turn to the Greek classics as source material, reinventing their eternal themes and making them relevant to a modern audience’s sensibilities. It’s an aspect of postmodernism that stories are sometimes explored that do not strictly exist as source material …
Yes, SEEN is baaaack… We were hacked! We certainly had the pleasure of attending the launch night of Moonshine Saloon – an immersive theatrical and cocktail experience at the other end of the King’s Road. But fear not – it’s worth the hike. It’s huge fun, requiring you to dress up and revel in the …
In keeping with the ice-cream pastel colours that have so been a feature of the SS 2018 catwalks, luxury brand Lotusier has brought this trend into the home with the launch of two new colour options to their Kyoto collection: champagne pink ‘Sakura’ and the ‘Kyoto sky’, in a delicate blue. They are understated yet …
SEEN always enjoys Clerkenwell Design Week. There is so much to see and appreciate. The inventiveness and innovation on show is truly breathtaking, yet somehow it retains a playfulness and joy that is never oppressive or pretentious. With sustainability at the top of the agenda for many showrooms and designers, the products on display are …
SEEN needs no second bidding to head to Ask for Janice. It’s a buzzy wine bar with a fabulous graffiti-decked basement. With an extensive drinks list and a great atmosphere, SEEN is looking forward to sampling a gin masterclass there this Thursday 10th May. If you’re not familiar with the award-winning brand, The Arbikie Highland …
Hurrah for the sunny weather! It meant that SEEN could get out to try Schmaltz, a food wagon that is at the mercy of the elements even in the swanky surroundings of Broadgate and Liverpool Street. If it’s raining, people ain’t buying. But no matter, with the sun upon us, SEEN joined the extensive queue …
Whether you’re a royalist or not, there’s no escaping the forthcoming nuptials of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle. Possibly the one benefit of all this royal shenanigans is the plethora of drinks and cream teas that will abound in the capital for the duration. None more amusingly so than a new cocktail at Scarfe’s Bar …
Daphne Guinness is sharing new videos for ‘Five Planets’ and ‘Riot’, with both tracks lifted from her newly released album ‘Daphne & The Golden Chord’ (out now digitally via Agent Anonyme/Absolute). Both films recently premiered at the London BFI IMAX, ahead of the physical release of ‘Daphne & The Golden Chord’ on CD and vinyl …
It is comforting to think that despite the financial setbacks that the Greek economy has experienced recently, it is now rising from the ashes with its latest culinary exports. The Mediterranean Diet has long been shown to be good for all of us, wherever we live. Moreover it is delicious. No wonder that the EU …
SEEN is looking forward to witnessing the Gag House Comedy Festival in its debut year Gag House Comedy have gone all out in securing a week’s programme of comedy that is not to be missed. The Gag House Comedy Festival runs from Monday to Saturday, July 23 to 28 at one of London’s most popular …
SEEN is always intrigued by new venues for art exhibition. Matt Tate and his fellow students at the RCA Visual Communication course did just this at Tenderbooks. This happy marriage of art and the written word serves to illustrate (pun intended) how effectively different non-gallery spaces can enrich the culture of the city. Readings took …
Gang of Four have released a new EP, ‘Complicit’. Co-produced by the band’s Andy Gill, alongside Ben Hillier (Blur, Depeche Mode) and Ross Orton (M.I.A., Arctic Monkeys), the EP includes previous singles ‘Lucky’ and ‘Ivanka (Things You Can’t Have)’, with artwork that captures the President’s daughter alongside the Russian word for ‘complicit’. The EP is …
SEEN is pleased to hear that ASH have announced details of a brand new single Annabel, the second track to be lifted from the forthcoming album Islands, released 18th May through their newly cemented return to original home, Infectious Music. It follows lead single Buzzkill (which features members of The Undertones on backing vocals). Stream/share …
Regular readers will know that, every now and again, SEEN likes to venture out of London and feature designs that debut at the Salone del Mobile. Just look at the clean lines and perfection of the latest creations from Danese Milano. Last year, Ron Gilad’s artistic direction for Danese Milano was inaugurated with a collection …
