Alien Nation
Alien Nation at the ICA was rubbish. There were three rooms (none much bigger than an average hotel bathroom), and a corridor of posters (which incidently, was the highlight). One room contained little more than some beads that had been glued together in the shape of ‘Spaceships’. The others housing a few paintings and a TV, on which was the 1951 version of The Thing. Don’t get me wrong, I like The Thing and for the first time I actually felt sorry for it. How awful having to share a room with that drivel for several months. Fortunately, the exhibition ends today so The Thing can once again relax.

At the Serpentine on the other hand was tops. A selection from Damen Hurst’s MURDERME collection, this is truly worth a visit. ‘A significant accumulation of works spanning several generations of international artists, from well-known figures such as Banksy, Francis Bacon, Jeff Koons, Richard Prince and Andy Warhol, to artists in earlier stages of their careers like Rachel Howard, Nicholas Lumb and Tom Ormond’. Go Go Go.

Fix this…
Dear Jim,
Please can you fix it for me to get my car back - you know, the one that someone stole this morning. Please can you also fix it for me to have all the stuff that was in it. Oh, and if you could tell me who stole it, I’d like that too. I liked my car and I hope the person who stole it hasn’t set fire to it.
Yours Sincerely, RubbishCorp®

Watched this over Christmas and thought it one of the finest films I have seen in a long time. It’s not perfect, with some weird music choices and some meandering direction - but it is crammed full of charm and is a very moving, slightly twisted and very funny film. Both Leslie Philips and Peter O’ Toole are brilliant, their parts seemingly tailor-made. I wouldn’t be surprised if Peter O’ Toole gets an Oscar nomination for his genius performance. Go See…
