One of our favourite magazines has just launched an exhibition at the V&A. If you’re not familiar with Private Eye, it’s a British political satirical magazine that mixes humour and cartoons with investigative journalism. This exhibition focuses on the humorous side of the magazine, specifically the cartoon art. They’ve worked with several noted artists over the years, including the likes of Willie Rushton, Ralph Steadman, Michael Neath and Gerald Scarfe. (Creative Review)

Curated lets us know about this:

“New York based painter Lori Blados is currently exhibiting at the Diane Birdsall Gallery.

Lori Blados’ new work, illustrated on board and in acrylic, is a brightly rendered and playful meditation on environments both real and imagined. Birds twitter about as they peek inside their birdhouses–simple, triangular shaped structures reminiscent of something a child might draw. It is in her quirky style that Blados plays with the concepts of reality and fantasy. The birds are peering into a world that is curiously human, curiously askew. The objects of our everyday become spectacles.”

Wooly hats! You need one on your head when it gets cold. You need one on your head when you’re having a bad hair day. Take it off when you get inside though, you’ll just look like a douche otherwise. (Opening Ceremony)

Vanishing Elephant have opened a store in Melbourne. It’s not exactly in our neck of the woods, but the world is a global village nowadays. And we’ve noticed that people are desperate for store shots to put on their tumblr, so here you are. The fact that the store looks great doesn’t hurt either. See for yourself after the leap.

Never Records is a little bit of everything and trying to distill it into a few lines here feels a little futiile. However, at the heart of it is founder, Ted Riederer’s, desire to bring back the spirit of record shops of old. For the NY artist it’s all about community, vinyl stores were places to hang out, to meet friends, to argue about the issues of the day and share information, they were at the heart of the local music scene and were driven by passion rather than profits. Ted hopes that his temporary retail spaces which have travelled from NY to Liverpool, Derry to London will help foster this kind of community spirit he experienced in his youth. After a successful run in the UK capital, Ted moves onto to new lands, perhaps in an empty shopfront near you.
