Two of the sites, GetMeIn and Seatwave, have since been closed down. The two largest players, StubHub and Viagogo, are still trading despite multiple complaints from consumers, the condemnation of MPs and an abortive lawsuit against Viagogo from the consumer regulator. … [Read more...] about Touts found guilty of fraud over £11m ticket reselling scheme

De Saint Sernin had an itinerant childhood; he was born in Belgium, moved to Africa when he was two, then to Paris at eight (“When I arrived, I was the only white boy in my class and I didn’t know I was white. It was like my Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls moment”) and his interest in fashion began slowly, “watching Yves Saint Laurent and Dior shows on VHS”. He felt removed from the women’s fashion he was studying at college: “I wasn’t thinking of fashion as something I could wear. It was a fantasy,” he recalls. After internships at Dior and Yves Saint Laurent, he landed a job at the luxe, Kardashian-beloved Balmain label which he enjoyed but “aesthetically, I wasn’t satisfied”.

This is a note saying, ‘Call us!’” She laughs softly: “Five years later…” … [Read more...] about King: the soul trio with Stevie Wonder on their side

Love looms large here too, songs like Supernatural (reworked and extended since the EP version) making like Anita Baker’s Sweet Love, but reassembled on cloud nine by teleportation device. The keyboard is Spiritualized, the percussion is jazz played by moths; they’ve added horns. Every track on We Are King putters and glides by quite smoothly. It’s only gradually you notice how complex this dream state actually is. … [Read more...] about King: We Are King review – an ambient dream of a debut

Pettibon isn't like Lawrence Weiner, turning words into conceptual sculptures, nor does he tend towards the terse one- or two-liners of Ruscha, Bruce Nauman or Christopher Wool, or the retold gags of Richard Prince. And, unlike Sean Landers, he isn't soliloquising his badly spelt life away on canvas. One of his drawings of the Holy Bible, a solid black slab, is dedicated to Ad Reinhardt, whose black-on-black paintings implied a spirituality that was hard to reconcile with his cartoon commentaries and hilarious essays deflating the art world. … [Read more...] about American graffiti
