Today in London: Sunday 4 November 2012
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 28 October 2012
There’ll be more fireworks overhead tonight I’d imagine, the fifth falling on a Monday meaning we get three Guy Fawkes nights in a row.
But ignore all that banging and focus on this little lot instead…
TODAY’S ART CHOICES
Sunday Sermons Presents… David Shrigley – Vice, The School Of Life (pictured)
His ‘Brain Activity’ expo having widened minds at the Hayward this Summer, alt-illustrationist David Shrigley now moves to preach truth and absurdity as regards humanity’s most vile and evil vices. He says: “You say your lower region is nice but you could be lying. It might be horrible and/or diseased. I will show you the parts of the brain that harbour vice to help you behave less like a monkey”. The lesson begineth here with ticketing info.
