First Wednesdays will be launching tomorrow at Salon Contemporary from 6pm-9pm in collaboration with other local businesses in Notting Hill Gate area.
There will be amazing live performances happening at Salon Contemporary, including a surprise performance by our very own and recent Selfridges curator Nathalie Levi for Anna Ricciardi’s ‘Mermaid Performance’. The performance evokes both the horrors and glories of the English sea-side town in the reinterpretation of this myth, as a living, breathing, flirtatious, chocolate eating mermaid.

Alan Yentob is taken back to his youth by StrangMacFarlane
Admiring the work of StrangMacFarlane yesterday at the Salon Summer Show 2010, Alan Yentob noted that the humorous Central Saint Martins graduate duo’s work reminded him of when he was starting out back in the 70's. StrangMacFarlane play on the unwritten etiquette and understandings that govern the gallery and tackle the pre-conceived values the viewer attaches to the art, ‘the artist and one’s self as a conscious body.’.
