Performance artist Millie Brown vomits rainbows. She’s puked up neon sick all over the place. Even into Lady Gaga’s lap (while Nick Knight filmed it). Don’t Panic interviewed her about it. Read it after the break.
Amazing worlds under glass
While most of London’s looking like a snowglobe, Thomas Doyle’s miniature glass-encased dioramas look more like isolated frames from the storyboard of some unmade horror film, recreated in three dimensions.
Fucking awesome teacups
Teacups have had a tumultuous resurgence, having first been reappropriated from old people by vintage hipsters who want to be their grandparents, are now being wrestled back into the paws of the masses by innovative designers breaking the Royal Doulton mould. Don’t Panic looks at some teacups worthy of a better pedestal than a mug tree.
Can porn be art? Tom Gallant shows you how
Or, more accurately, can pornography be used to create art? Tom Gallant thinks so, and using a very sharp knife and an attentive eye that should be long blind, he shapes beautiful cutaway figures out of hardcore smut.
The detailed handcut technique is reminiscent of late Victorian illustration, and his subjects often mirror this style with a series on woodland birds, and another on flowers. But William Morris never used high gloss interracial gangbangs as his medium.
Really interesting interview where he talks about why he uses porn, where he gets it, and the place for it within art.
Kitsuné Maison Party
Awesome upcoming London gig hosted by purveyors of quality music, Kitsuné in association with Neon Noise Project. Being a label that’s has led rather than followed and cementing a reputation as tastemakers by effortlessly fusing music and fashion by encouraging nightlife followers to fix up and look smart on the dance floor from its ever increasing clothing range a co-headline live appearance from two of the most exciting young bands to emerge this year is only to be expected.
Following Two Door Cinema Club as Kitsune’s most recent signing IS TROPICAL who formed only last year have developed a country wide reputation for their stunning live shows. Taking to the stage in their trademark masks, and cloaked by self-made video projections, they improvise constantly by changing sound scapes, effortlessly swooping from raw pop anthems to lo-fi dance songs with fantastic results.
The full line-up will be as follows:
LIVE
Jamaica
Is Tropical
DJ
Classixx
The Twelves
Rory Phillips
Teeth
Head down on Nov 19 to Village Underground and have yourself a time. Kitsuné’s last London party sold out well in advance, so if you want to book tickets you can from SeeTickets
ArtForEating & Sheer Drop presents… Let’s Blitz: Your Country Feeds You!
ArtForEating run occasional themed dinners in their London studio to turn ideas into food. They have tackled many topics, including a brief and digestible history of modern art; the five senses; and the Twelve Days of Christmas. The above image was from a performance dinner in Cyprus, where they served John Berger’s concept of The Male Gaze as live art. Next week they’re setting their sights on World War II rationing!
British housewives, unfazed by heavily restricted food supplies, improvised new recipes to make the most of their rations. Luckily, we have a huge range of wonderful black market foodstuffs available to us to recreate the zeitgeist of many rationing classics in a rather more palatable style. Expect Home-tinned Spam (duck liver and truffle pate served in a spam tin with toasted brioche and black treacle & mustard cashew nuts) and many more delicacies besides.
Sheer Drop Theatre will be on hand in the form of squaddies, landgirls and wartime sweethearts, helping to transport your table back to 1940s England with their unique brand of regional theatre.

Tattoo this girl!
The Wellcome Collection are running a tattoo competition in association with Don’t Panic. The winning design will be tattooed live onto our volunteer, Caisa Ederyd (pictured above) at the exhibition.
We’re looking for a design to celebrate the Wellcome Collection’s ‘Skin’ exhibition, a show that invites the viewer to re-evaluate the largest and probably most overlooked human organ. One of the aspects we are interested in is looking at peeling back the layers of skin to discover what’s beneath – let your imagination run wild with the anatomical workings of your body. Organs, dissections, skeletons, guts, nerves bundles, veins – get your thinking caps on to illustrate what’s beneath our skin and display the internal on the external.
In her own words, Caisa advises: “I’d like it to have something to do with body organs such as hearts, lungs, guts and blood. This is because I think the inside of the body is interesting, beautiful and, sadly, because my dad died from a heart condition a few years ago.”
As well as the pride of knowing your design is tattooed on a stranger’s body, the winner will also win a year’s free membership of the Wellcome Collection Club.
Competition closes on Friday 25 June. For more details, and to submit entries, visit www.dontpaniconline.com/designbrief/skin
