LIVE MUSIC
Ellipsis w/ Bunny Hoova + Gribs
Join Ellipsis for an evening of live music. As well as playing live, they have also curated the evening's line up, coaxing the incredible Bunny Hoova to London for her first live show with a full band in the city! Her 'LONGING' LP on Them There Records has been making waves with The FADER. Other such publications are clearly smitten with Bunny's exquisite avant-pop guitar, irresitable vocals, drums and electronic layers. Undoubtedly what is garnering requests for her to support artists like Tirzah.
Co-running the TT/Tobago Tracks label, Gribs has amassed an impressive collection of the most cutting-edge electronic music. Effortlessly sliding between bass, jungle and trap genres, her online mixes are an experience, DJing with so many new and emerging sounds, it is impossible to categorize.
J.b. Glazer joins on the decks for some extra shapes
Further live support TBA

Bunny Hoova - LIVE
Gribs - DJ

EXHIBITION AT SET LEWISHAM
Sexy Pizza Dance 💋🕺🏻🍕 by Guillaume Vandame
"I started going to therapy in the autumn 2018 and slowly realised that I saw a lot of my life in black and white, either it was a wonderland or totally worthless. This resulted in two distinct bodies of work and, then, I developed a third body of work "The Pizza Paintings". I could finally feel a grey area where I could be happy with something just the way it is and not change it. Life was no longer black or white, but red and green coming beautifully together."
Sexy Pizza Dance is a selection of bold, new, homoerotic paintings from the The Pizza Paintings, a series of works that began in 2018. The series also includes sculptural assemblages from Vandame's ongoing collection of pizza boxes kept as a personal momento. Since 2017, Vandame's style began to distinctly merge the Pop sensibilities of Warhol, with the immediacy and raw emotion of Abstract-Expressionism, in particular referencing the crudeness of De Kooning and the Color Field paintings of
Rothko.
Bio:
Guillaume Vandame (b. 1991, New York) lives and works in London. He studied art history at SOAS, University of London and graduated with a BA in 2013 and an MA in Contemporary Art and Art Theory from Asia and Africa in 2015. In addition to his practice as an artist and writer, he collaborates with Josh Wright as the artist collective, Wright & Vandame.
