| THIS WEEK'S HEADLINES
|
In Spanish football, a match such as the one Real Madrid played last night against Man U is what's called a classico. A term Brazilians always reserve for describing a match with Argentina. Classicos are also what we try to find on a weekly basis -- not only a classico within each area, but a classico of event-mixing... hence Gerry Thunderbird Anderson autographs lovingly between Klang's songs and Janet Cardiff's walk.
In total, this is a week of small things, a pensive week for small big thoughts to reflect upon: from the more subtle, intellectual play of Louise Hopkins to the talky Hal Hartley double-bill to Francis Alys' perambulations and Stephan Eberstadt's anonymous but obtrusive structures. Given all that is going down globally, it seems appropriate then to draw our gaze and thoughts to the other important things... for example Richard Billingham's Turneresque image above us.

SPRAWL | Wednesday 9 April (7:30pm - 12am) | | Price: general £4 | concessions £3 | | A good name can buy you great mileage, O.S.T. an acronym invented by American Chris Douglas' who won't reveal it's designation, tonight his electronic noise will counter UK-based Canadian Sherry's, aka Music for One, emotive by-the-moment guitarwork, and trade against Anders -- Tape Salad -- Arentoft (no he doesn't play for Bolton!) mixes with toys, tape recorders, and the rather conventional, turntable... as usual Sprawl's UN-style international signature holds forth. However it's homegrown talent that anchors the midfield, Steve Beresford -- who began playing at age 7 -- and has placed both feet, hands, mouth firmly in all aspects of the musicworld from impro-JazzPop to scoring movies, this should be a night where music rise above names. On the other hand, great bands with lousy names can still go far; e.g. The Beatles (originally known as The Silver Beatles?!). You know, money can't buy you love, but it sure should buy you a good name like Si-{cut}.db or BitTonic -- residents and co-organisers of Sprawl. | | | BACK TO TOP |

| OPERA | |
JERRY SPRINGER: THE OPERA | Wednesday 9 April (7:45pm - Matinees 2:30pm) | @ National Theatre, South Bank, SE1 (020 7452 3400) Tube: Embankment/Waterloo | Price: £12 - £38 | | Starting this week at The National Theatre is Jerry Springer: the Opera, subject of 996 reviews even before its World Premiere! Written by Richard Thomas and directed by Stewart Lee, the piece sets the woes and fantasies of its trailer-trash TV wannabes to an operatic score of profound eclecticism and beauty. Beloved Jerry presides over the creme de la creme of amoral, degenerate subject splatters which will include lesbian dwarves and diaper fetishists. This project has been raising eyebrows in every quarter from the English National Opera to CBS News, since its beginnings in the fertile soils of BAC's "scratch night" programme two years ago. There's no way to escape it. It's thrillingly obscene, devilishly funny and also very touching. NB: Run ends 05/07. | | | BACK TO TOP |

FRANCIS ALYS | Thursday 10 April (6:30pm) | @ Tate Modern, Bankside, SE1 (020.7887.8008) Tube: Southwark/Blackfriars | Price: general £7 | concessions £4 | | Walter Benjamin once stated that he could map Berlin by his walks: the routes to the whorehouses he frequented, the paths between cafes... Mapping, but more importantly, being a Flaneur was key to his art. The Flaneur is an artist whose tool is his eyes, whose art is to be found in his preambulations, it is a performanceless
performance. Well, many today are unwitting flaneurs, an easy role in this capitalist world. Unfortunately, they fail by becoming mere consumers... Francis Alys however, walks right through this into Art. Described as a "compulsive wanderer", he makes art out of his subtle workmanly strolls. Coming from a painter's tradition, the Mexico City and Brussels based artist, has artfully dodged the traditional genres of the form by, for example, wandering through the streets of Havana with magnetic shoes and trailing a punctured can of paint from street to gallery. His feet have become his paintbrushes and the streets his canvas. Alys certainly has passed being the painter of modern life and he just may have become the walker of post-industrial life. NB: As part of the Painting Present series, he will be speaking to writer, and former Whitechapel boss, now freelance curator, Catherine Lampert.

NLF3 TRIO | Thursday 10 April (8pm) | | Price: £7 advance | | Nlf3 trio are Nicolas Laureau, Ludovic Morillon and Fabrice Laureau, founders of Prohibited Records. They are tonight's special guests, performing alongside Hanged Up. Nlf3 trio have been playing together for more than ten years and they have obviously combined their talents to find a style and direction that really works. Their rich and captivating sound sites influences such as '70s Jazz, Afrobeat and experimental Rock but is also very much a product of contemporary electronic music. Originally, their first projects were to create soundtracks for experimental films at La Cinemateque Francaise and their music certainly has a cinematic feel to it, adding an interesting twist to the listening experience. These guys are new, these guys are hot and definitely worth checking out. Giveaway: We have three copies of their latest release Viva! to give away. They'll go to three randomly picked subscribers who can tell us the name of their first album. | | | BACK TO TOP |

| ARCHITECTURE / ART / PRIVATE VIEW | |
STEFAN EBERSTADT | Friday 11 April (6pm - 8pm) | | Price: FREE | | With major retrospectives of Blinky Palermo and Max Beckmann, there is a definite Teutonic flavour to the London art scene this spring. Munich-based sculptor Stefan Eberstadt is about to fortify that flavour with his second solo show at Rocket. The artist employs the methods and materials of a shop-fitter to create works that sit somewhere between sculpture, furniture and architecture. Eberstadt plunders hardware stores for cheap, anonymous materials like chipboard and plywood, which are so anonymous that often the awkward spaces formed by his seemingly functional structures, becomes the focus of attention. Here the artist presents a selection of new works which include the maze-like Formica creation Clip-on 2 (2002) and the Masonite and Perspex relief sculpture Superplug (2003). Clip-on 2 is just the right height to be used as a bench and is even topped with vinyl-covered foam cushions. Also on show are a series of plans and sketches of Eberstadt's extraordinary Rucksack House, a soon-to-be-realised dwelling space that can be strapped onto an existing apartment building to provide extra accommodation.. Giveaway: We have three sets of signed copies of Eberstadt's book edition to give away. They'll go to three randomly picked subscribers who can tell us in which recent architectural book has he been inlcuded (hint: featured in KF and published by Prestel). | | | BACK TO TOP |

TOY SOLDIERS: BIANCA JAGGER | Thursday 10 April (6:45pm) | @ ICA Cinema 1&2, Nash House, The Mall, SW1 (020.7930.3647) Tube: Charing Cross/Piccadilly | Price: general £8 | concessions £7 (Members: £6) | | Sometimes life can be horribly cruel, violent and insane. The worst thing is when you feel you can't change it. On Thursday, Bianca Jagger, Jo Becker (Children's Rights Advocacy Director at Human Rights Watch) and China Keitetsi, will be discussing the 300,000+ children who are systematically kidnapped from their families and indoctrinated into a world of displacement, torture, rape and murder as well as discussing a vital new UN protocol that could stop this. Being so 'in the know', you will then be aware of the many local, national, continental and global issues and will probably already have heard about child soldiers. Vulnerable kids make a great army for the corrupt and evil, because they appear innocuous to the enemy and yet are able to operate modern lightweight weaponry while being "disposable" (they aren't in command). The ones who do survive will become the embittered, disturbed future of their cause. Even if you cannot make the ICA, just the bumpf alone will make you aware that you could be part of the solution. So click on the above links and more importantly, get to the info on how to put pressure on the governments who won't sign the protocol, then put pen to paper and make a difference. | | | BACK TO TOP |

CRISTINA IGLESIAS & ADRIAN SEARLE | Thursday 10 April (7pm) | | Price: general £5 | concessions £3.50 | | Sculptor Cristina Iglesias, currently showing at the Whitechapel Gallery, is spanning the gaps between installation, sculpture and architecture with sweeping canopies of translucent alabaster and her tilted hanging ceiling formed of the cast undersides of mushrooms. Borrowing fragments from worlds rooted both in fantasy and the traditional, Iglesias transforms the space at the Whitechapel Gallery into an open conversation between European and Islamic influences, between Minimalism and the undeniably feminine, to create an atemporal cross-section of multicultural (and multi-conventional) sensibilities. Having received a lot of attention internationally for her work and her unorthodox approach to her materials and subject matter, Spanish-born Iglesias (widow of Juan Munoz), continues to push boundaries and draw parallels between architecture, nature and space. On Thursday, she will be talking to Adrian Searle of the Guardian. This show is her first major UK exhibition and one of the largest surveys of her work to date... a golden opportunity to hear Iglesias discuss her work as it has evolved through the '80s and '90s and into the 21st century. NB: Iglesias' exhibition runs until Sun 18/05. | | | BACK TO TOP |

BRENDAN BENSON | Thursday 10 April (7:30pm) | @ ULU, Malet St. (020.7664.2000) Tube: Goodge St., WC1 | Price: £9 | | Hot on the heels of his gigs supporting Beth Orton, Benson -- whose melodies are apparently the envy of Jack White -- does a mini tour of the UK in support of his five track Metarie EP. The Louisiana/Michigan native is leading the pack in the male quarter of the new acoustic movement. Traversing the same path as Tom Mcrae and Ben Harper, Benson casts off the clothes of the teary-eyed troubadour, and instead inhabits a world where The Plastic Ono band were more successful than The Beatles, and doing Acid tabs with Brian Wilson in his sandbox is the norm. Think Elliott Smith having a fight with Beck and you're getting there. | | | BACK TO TOP |

LE SOUFFLE | Friday 11 April | @ Various cinemas across London | Price: Check press for times and ticket prices | You don't have to be Adrian Mole to remember the highs and lows that hit you at age 13. The spots, hormones, forays into... well all sorts of things. Troubled teens keep TV Stations afloat, admittedly often with the aid of super-powers and immaculate wardrobes. But not even Buffy would want to take on David ( Pierre-Louis Bonnetblanc) the lead in Le Souffle ( Deep Breath). Reminiscent of Godard, Truffaut, Lynch and Tarkovsky -- this is Damien Odoul's first film and it won 2 prizes at the 2001 Venice Film Festival. A coming of age tale, it's a day in the life of a restless, alienated teen staying on his Uncle's ramshackle farm in the French countryside. On a hot summer's day, the Uncle has invited his male friends over for a barbecue lunch. They egg David on to get drunk and when he does, his demons are unleashed. Shot in black and white with a cast of mainly non-actors -- this is a beautiful inky film. Possibly a little slow and with a few unnecessarily sentimental fairytale moments, it is still a powerful debut, and its images will linger in your mind long after it's over. Be warned though its brutality will not be for everyone... Dawson's Creek it ain't... | | | BACK TO TOP |

POLANSKI | Friday 11 April (8:30pm) | | Price: £6 | Speaking of the future, here it comes... Eschewing those retro New Rock Revolutionaries for some good old Krautrock, Oxford's Polanski are the sound of a world gone mad with more guitar/electro madness than Thom Yorke can shake a stick at. After being championed by Steve Lamacq, the band released their debut 12" All Possibility on Welsh label Slow Graffiti at the end of last year and have since been taking their laptop/feedback mash-ups around the country. They've taken the ethos behind Radiohead's Kid A and combined it with the classic songwriting of The Bends, to create several modern masterpieces. A band on the cusp of greatness -- catch them before they get big. | | | BACK TO TOP |

GERRY ANDERSON | Saturday 12 April (11am - 1pm) | | Price: FREE | | Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Stingray, Space 1999, Captain Scarlet... mean anything to you? Well they all exploded out of the mind of one Gerry Anderson -- no relation to other. Space 1999 being his one real success with actors, Anderson once mused over his enduring fanbase for Supermarionation; well no Gerry it's not completely the Sci-Fi, yes it's nostalgia, yes it's the boys' toys, but admit it, like the joys of Wallace and Gromit, we still like things handmade... and yes you get more out of an inanimate object than Jim Cameron any day. It all began in '57 with a commission for a children's puppet show, The Adventures of Twizzle which Anderson and partners resolved would be the best puppet show ever. The rest as they say is history... And still the 74 year old wants to work with actors, hence the Thunderbirds live-action flick to be directed by Jonathan Frakes aka Trek's Riker through Working Title and Universal. The Baldwin brothers will not be taking part -- even if they promise to act as marionettes with strings attached! Is this gonna be the puppet world's Bobby Robson? After all Jim Henson has gone to that rainbow in the sky. So dear KultureFlasher, yet again Thunderbirds are still GO! NB: Gerry Anderson will be autographing copies of his Complete Gerry Anderson Episode Guide with co-author Chris Bentley.

| ART / WALK | |
JANET CARDIFF | Saturday 12 April (Mon, Tue & Thu 9am - 6pm; Fri till 4pm; Sat till 3pm ) | | Price: Free | | We are guided to the crime section of the Whitechapel Library and given a walkman. Feeling slightly self-conscious we don our headphones, press play and enter the world of Janet Cardiff. The first thing KF realizes realizes is Cardiff's voice: it's deadened and beautiful.
The second thing we notice is the waking butterflies of anticipation in our stomachs. As the story unfolds, we leave the library at Janet's request and begin to explore the streets of Whitechapel. It's a peculiar sensation, walking alone being guided by a stranger's voice. It's akin to suddenly being transported into the world of Paul Auster's The New York Trilogy. Cardiff weaves delicate strands of narrative together. In listening to her and with her, we become part sleuth, part street walker, part victim, part aggressor. Cardiff's identity is inextricably linked to the identity of the city, and through it all we are also walking a part of our city and
our identity as a face in the crowd. Cardiff asks us at the beginning, "Have you ever wanted to lose yourself and keep on walking?" Well, for 55 minutes we really did. NB: The Missing Voice (Case Study B) by Janet Cardiff is free but you need ID for a deposit in exchange for the CD Walkman. This project was commissioned by Artangel in 1999 and is ongoing.

KLANG & MISS PAIN | Saturday 12 April (8pm - 3am) | | Price: general £5 | concessions £3 | | Thank God for women! You know that when they jump on stage, they are bringing with them something rare in the music world and something that is just not being a man. So Strange Fruit present Klang (headlining) and Miss Pain (supporting), two bands where the girls rule 2-1. Miss Pain are Brighton's Sarah, Verity and Dominic debuting "synth, voice and noise" in the big smoke. They are so new that they are prepared to squeal and seizure dark electro-rock over the stage to get your attention. If you had your ear to the ground, you would have seen Klang back in January at the Monarch, if you didn't, catch up! With one of the most influential sounds of the '90s in Elastica's Donna and pro mussos Isabel and Keizuke, you have a band who've done the getting wasted and now just want to be great at making music. Sounds unusual? They are pushing post-punk to a place where you can't call it that anymore (a good thing as it's overused and overrated). Make no mistake Klang and Miss Pain are special secrets, and you'll look like so cool if you go! GO GIRLS (and boys)! Giveaway: Klang's debut single L.O.V.E. limited (1000-only) 7" 3-track poster-sleeve debut single will be out late April through Rough Trade's For Us label, but cos KF is so generous we've got one to give away. It'll go to one randomly picked subscriber who can tell us what three countries the band members hail from. | | | BACK TO TOP |

HAL HARTLEY | Sunday 13 April (12pm) | | Price: £6 | | During the '90s a trio of American wordsmith directors hit the ground running: Whit Stillman, Richard Linklater and Hal Hartley. All embody a more old-fashioned but of the moment, kind of film-making. A need for talk, voice and writing over the car-chase, explosion, bang-banging was in order. This ground was broken in the late '80s by Hartley, whom you either love or love to hate. The producer/director shot to fame in '89 with The Unbelievable Truth and went on to create a unique, dialogue-driven genre of his own with distinctive films such as Trust, Simple Men and Henry Fool. Following this double bill of Flirt (12pm) and Amateur (1:50pm), author and film-maker Jason Wood (who produced the '97 documentary Trouble and Desire: An Interview with Hal Hartley) will discuss his new book, which covers every film Hartley has ever made up to his current feature, No Such Thing (his first full-length feature in six years) which, according to the production company, is about "a foul-mouthed monster (that) kills anyone who crosses his path". NB: Jason Wood author of the latest Pocket Essentials book on Hal Hartley will introduce the films.

| ART / TALK | |
THE TRANSLATOR'S NOTES | Sunday 13 April (3pm) | | Price: FREE | | Inspired by Ortega y Gasset's paper in which he notes that speech is a cocktail made from equal measures of silence and words, where for him "all people silence some things in order to be able to say others", The Translator's Notes works between a group of objects, installation and painting (Jose Davilla and Maria Chevska ), projections (Shigeaki Iwai and Aaron Williamson ), video and sound(Susan Pui San Lok), around this concept of "translation". Derived from the Latin translatio meaning "to carry across", the idea of carrying and dissemination is to be found in such diverse works as Pui San Lok's moving a circular object in Rome then London, to a conversation in Farsi and English (Johannes Maier). With Harold Offeh's look at identity and the "alien", just what kind of cocktail are we gonna find here? (Show ends Sun 20/04.) NB: Andrea Phillips -- a writer and Goldsmiths lecturer -- will be speaking on translation specifically relating to the works of Aaron Williamson and Bethan Huws. This talk will be BSL interpreted. The Cafe Gallery, run by the Bermondsey Artists Group, was originally a cafe before being taken over by the fledgling Group in 1984. Following a successful number of years of exhibitions, the space was eventually re-built in 1997 and re-opened two years ago.

KING OF WOOLWORTHS | Tuesday 15 April (8pm) | @ ICA, The Mall, SW1 (020.7930.3647) Tube: Charing Cross/Piccadilly | Price: general £8 | concessions £7 | | This is a debut live show for the King of Woolworths (Jon Brooks), and should help promote his recently released album Illustration Musicale. The King has apparently never tried the live thing in this context before, although we would expect all to go smoothly with the benefit of the "badly drawn" backline. Citing influences such as the late, great Delia Derbyshire and, more generally, soundtracks of '60s and '70s movies that embraced the new-fangled electronic synthesizer, Brooks manages to brew up some lusciously deep music with a disembodied melancholy that can easily be traced back to the era of Get Carter and radiophonic wizardry; but still with a firm 21st century groove akin to Goldfrapp or early Air -- at leisurely pace -- backing it up. This music is also reminiscent of sitting down with a plate of Alphabetti Spaghetti in front of one of those conspicuously-dubbed continental '70s and '80s children's TV dramas... but, bless us, we consider this a GOOD thing. The King of Woolworths strides proudly through the door marked "Highly Recommended" on his way to the stage, so let's hope for as much from the live set. | | | BACK TO TOP |

CHARLES SANDISON | Ends Wednesday 30 April (Daily 10am - 5pm) | | Price: FREE | | During the day, Charles Sandison's computer-generated work, Living Room adorns the walls of The Gallery, which centres the various eateries and club that form Sketch. This piece, an expanded version of the work shown at the 2001 Venice Biennale is designed to adapt to different architectural spaces, surrounding and enveloping the viewer. Words chase each other around the room, moving alone, in pairs and clusters, and occasionally appearing from nowhere, they seem to battle and, in striving, they develop a character of their own. In creating an advanced programming based on the idea of the computer game and using words like female, male and food, Sandison suggests a very basic level of existence and by doing so mimics evolution and crowd behaviour. With his use of words, (see also Good and Evil, 2002 and Between Heaven & Earth , 2002), Sandison negotiates the position of the word and image, creating a seductive environment for the viewer to just sit back and watch. NB: In the evening, design company Spin's installation Reykjavik (ends Sat 19/04). From Mon 21/04, Fashion photographer Guy Bourdin's cinefilms will be running in conjunction with a retrospective of his work at the V&A (21/04 to 24/05). This presentation of Bourdin's films is part of the larger event that is Made in Paris: Photo/Video, organised by the Institut Francais, throughout the Capital during the next three months. | | | BACK TO TOP |

LOUISE HOPKINS | Ends Saturday 3 May (Tue to Sat 11am - 6pm) | | Price: FREE | | It seems appropriate in a time when our eyes are firmly focused on events happening on the other side of the globe that Louise Hopkins, one aspect of whose work involves maps, has presented us with a set of erased ones -- actually scraped away with blade. Unlike her earlier work that involved an additive process, her current manipulations are more akin to a series of deletions: scraping, drawing out. A newspaper has had all the descriptive words marked out, resulting in a black sheet with little, floating dots of "linking" words: "of", "is", "and"... The Glasgow-based artist has also meticulously scrapped away parts of graph paper, forming little cloud shapes in which the lines are then meticulously re-connected. Yet the hand is inaccurate, Hopkins fails to fill-in a perfect grid, instead like chaos theory, small uneven clouds of grids pool about within the gridded field. Perhaps these are "conceptual paintings" but what Hopkins asks of us is to look, and look again more closely. Unlike most shows where there are central works to highlight the show, this is one of little gems, and like the solitude of Chinese painting, this is Hopkins' most self-effacing show yet. NB: In a neat little inversion, Andrew Mummery is presenting the works of Alex Polland -- who uses the grid/geometric shapes as a foundation to his paintings -- downstairs in the project space. (Both show ends Sat 03/05.)

BERNARD FRIZE | Ends Saturday 10 May (Tues to Fri 10am - 6 pm / Sat 11am - 4pm) | | Price: FREE | | Making paintings is the simplest thing in the world: bit of paint slapped on a surface... yet the permutations, let alone the genres, are endless. This show, of Frenchman Bernard Frize, counter-poised against Glaswegian Callum Innes, play within one aspect of this field. A younger member of the '60s French surface/support generation, Frize is an empiricist. His work explores the physical possibilities of painting: its support, surface, and technique. There are just truths at work here; all that you see is all that has been made. Beautiful effects are mere by-products of a process of inquiry: no colour is mixed, the gesture of the hand dragging a loaded paintbrush across a canvas creates the end result -- in this particular case -- of hazy veils of colour. Callum Innes, though less ideological and strangely less engaging, appears to be working through a different program of possibilities: a series of questions that plot and re-map paintings. Working between geometry and seemingly "process", the Jerwood Prize-winner's paintings seem the reverse of Frize's: where one is driven by a process of inquiry, the other's question arrive out of his process. | | | BACK TO TOP |

DANCE BEAR DANCE | Ends Sunday 11 May (Thursdays and Saturdays 9pm) | | Price: general £15 | concessions £10 | | Of all the evening's to be spent in London at the moment, there's one that has enough charisma to show us a good time whilst having the audacious invention match that, by using bungled terrorist plots and hysteria. Dance Bear Dance is an event that invites its audience to participate in "making the world a better place", ostensibly through the assassination of an unknown target, but actually through drinking, gambling and copious amounts of enjoyment, with at one point, a very startled crowd of fellow audience members. Since it was first presented by the Shunt collective last year, the show has undergone some enticing tweaking. Now it's a more sophisticated creature, with excellent video art by Susanne Dietz and sound, which is always strong and idiosyncratic in their work, doing its fair share to whip up the spectator/hostage ambience (brought to us by Conspiracy). Dance Bear Dance is funny, beautiful and distinctly shambolic -- all the ingredients for a successful evening's entertainment... NB: Runs until Sat 10/05. | | | BACK TO TOP |

BOOK REVIEW
Will Alsop's eye-popping, flamboyant and bubbly designs make him one of Britain's most exciting architects. His work is very much influenced by Archigram, a hugely influential group of '60s Pop-architects who clearly served as a model of artistic expression. Leaving a more pragmatic and high-tech approach to architecture aside, Alsop has developed his own unique and very artistic approach to his craft. A painter himself, Alsop's art and architecture follow parallel paths and are indeed inseparable as each of his designs begin as paintings only to turn into theatrical forums for work and play. There is a great sense of fun and joy in his work, and the buildings he creates animate their surroundings and yet still remain fully functional. Alsop is responsible for some of Britain's most creative public buildings such as the North Greenwich Tube station, the Cardiff Bay Visitor's Centre and the Peckham Library -- which won him the Stirling Prize in 2000 -- as well as other European achievements such as the Hotel du Departement des Bouches du Rhone in Marseilles which marked the turning point of his career and established him as a true visionary in his field. The pair of books are a two-part exploration of the magical world of Alsop's designs, tracing a distinguished career and examining his distinctive creative process.
NB: Kenneth Powell is an architectural critic and journalist based in London and has written numerous books on such architects such as Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Edward Cullin. He also contributes regularly to various to newspapers and architectural publications around the globe.
Giveaway: We have one copy Will Alsop: Book I and Will Alsop: Book II to give away. They'll both go to one randomly picked subscriber who can tell us the names of the six original founders of Archigram.
