Music: Jont
Over the last ten years Jont, the singer-songwriter and creator of “Unlit” (a unique mixture of a party and a gig that has recently become a global internet phenomenon), has grown from unknown to an artist and cultural catalyst attracting critical acclaim and on the brink of mainstream success.2008’s “Supernatural” was Dermot O’Leary’s album of the week on Radio Two, and was given 4 stars by UNCUT’s Nigel Williamson who commented on his “achingly lovely melodies” and a voice somewhere between “Jeff Tweedy and Damon Albarn”.
Live appearances followed on Radio 4’s Loose Ends, BBC World Service, and on both Johnnie Walker and Dermot O’leary’s Radio 2 shows. While Dermot declared Jont “a true innovator”, and called Supernatural “a beautiful album”, Johnnie got Jont back to play his show a second time and then later in the year even invited him to his own house to put on one of his increasingly legendary “Unlit” nights.
Art: Masaki Yada
My recent work is the evidence of the visual examination of my ferocious fascination for old masters paintings. While I am interested in several formats that often appear in paintings produced by17th Century Dutch painters, my main focus is on vanitas.
I am interested in not mere realism as it only replicates the exterior of objects but the artist’s interpretation of the objects without intentional exaggeration. I have noticed that the during the process of delineating objects in a visually realistic way, because of one’s own nature and qualities, the imageries depicted by the artists has particular characteristics. My pursuit is to realize my uniqueness, and it is indeed my transgressive act against what has been considered as the current.

Performance: Down Below - Eirini Kartsaki
Eirini Kartsaki writes and performs from time to time. Her work, which is about and from the body, explores the thrill and wonder of eroticism, discovering, through the physicality of movement and the repetitive storytelling that, ultimately, what we want is to want.A fictive beginning, a false entrance, a story that begins by repeating itself. Its first time takes place several times of which one, among others, is the last.
