Molek FMbanksy: wall & piece
207 pages of words and colour pix from Banksy. This subversive, witty, visual commentary on war, religion, poverty, surveillance and more follows his Existencilism, Banging Your Head Against A Brick Wall and Cut It Out mini-books. Wall & Piece will set you back between RM80 and RM140 if you order it off Amazon, but is possibly one of the best things you can […]
banksy #3 @ old street
Considering Banksy’s work stays up approximately 15 minutes before it’s erased, I feel fortunate to have even seen these three pieces. This is the final slice of Banksy for today. All of which you can check and more in Wall And Piece. Why the TV? Well, actually it’s more about the broken window, which was the […]
banksy #2 @ old street
It’s been a while. Sorry. I’d like to say I was off finding a cure for cancer but the reality is far more mundane. I was working. But it’s good to be back. This piece is located in a parking lot and is visible from across the road, at the tail end of my canal walk, […]
banksy #1 @ canal way
Okay, I cheated. I did the walk twice and the first time round I failed to spot this. I nearly fell over when I did. I mean, mebbe it was the poor quality of the light the first time round, mebbe I didn’t look hard enough, or mebbe it’s the nature of the piece, in its asbo-baiting hoodie, skulking […]
canal way @ islington – old street
So you’re wondering where’s the street cuture? This chick is in London and all she prattles on about are the bleedin’ chocolates and the pub grub. Well a bitch gotta eat, right? At any rate. I’m getting to it. Despite having spent loads of time in London I had yet to discover the canals. Until now. Plied by joggers, cyclers, […]
duke of cambridge @ islington
British pubs aren’t what they used to be – rank, smoke-filled flea pits that serve grub that could have been scrapped out of a dog bowl. The Duke of Cambridge in Islington bills itself as the world’s first certified organic (gastro)pub and is a blinding beacon of the future of food. It doesn’t view the concepts of profitability […]
yauatcha @ battersea power station
Yauatcha is the gorgeous all-day teahouse and dim sum restaurant run by Alan Yau, the owner of Hakkasan, Britain’s only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant. Located in Soho, for the Power Station’s exhibition, Yauatcha opened a satelitte outlet in the Pavilion. Queues of gourmands predictably formed, all eager to tuck into eaterie’s 24 varieties of dim sum and wash […]
pavilion by toyo ito @ battersea power station
Toyo Ito, is a Japanese architect with a rep. Known for creating extreme concept buildings, his thing is erecting interactive structures like the Tower Of Winds. Located in Yokohama, by day it looks similar to a stacked cans of beans but by night takes on the form of a tubular graphic equaliser, with lights and reflective surfaces that capture the moods […]
china power station pt. 1 @ battersea power station
Battersea Power Station is doomed. Its roof is gone, its long glass windows shattered, its cavernous heart empty, except for its iron ribs and red bricks. And today, sunshine, long shadows and the queues which have lined up for a last look at an imposing monument to industrialisation before it gets turned into an indoor playground for adults with expense accounts. It takes me 45 […]
