Glitterditch gets arty
Banksy, Bigots and Boobs (possibly)
Here at Glitterditch Towers, we occasionally like to venture beyond our comfort blanket of emergency vodka and debauched wickedness to bring you something a little more highbrow. Usually we avoid the shouty, yellow, credit card nailing nightmare that is Selfridges like the plague, but for Banksy we'll make an exception.
The Urban Art show features rare Banksy works plus a host of other art from the leading lights of the Street Art scene. Pop along to the Ultralounge on the lower ground floor between now and June 1 to get down with the kids.
Also guaranteed to have cool arty types foaming at the knickers is Jake & Dinos Chapman's exhibition If Hitler Had Been a Hippy How Happy Would We Be at the White Cube from May 30 to July 12. This pair have got a rep for extreme naughtiness (think porn, fascism and other establishment-shaking fare), so expect some raised eyebrows either accompanied with a gleeful grin, or a finger poised to speed dial the Mary Whitehouse Memorial Society.
If you're of the former persuasion, perhaps you'd like to send the reactionary old bigot a posthumous greeting card. Pretty Bitter offers stationary to insult and delight, including the doily card emblazoned with 'Arsehole', 'Fucker' or the timeless 'Douchebag'.
Charmed, we're sure.
