Illumini Electro-Late @ The Museum of London

Last night I was very fortunate to be invited down to the Museum of London by the creator of the Illumini events, the artist Jane Webb, for a behind-the-scenes look at the build up and execution of another of her amazing performance art events, ‘Electro-Late‘.

As it occupied one of the main galleries of the Museum unfortunately this was a one night only affair, but what a night! Visitors were treated to amazing lightshows from two artists, Guy Smith and Tiina Tuomisto (who can do things with a hula-hoop you wouldn’t believe!), while other odd characters lurched and crept around the space – Pawel Fesyk played the part of a rather creepy animated statue, while the glittering Primo stomped around in all of his cybernetic glory, looking far too much like a Cylon for my liking I can tell you! We were also treated to the breathtaking body art of Simon Rogers and an amazing balancing act with crystal balls, while Nik Vaughn aka Mr Frisbee doled out some kicking choons. One of Jane’s latest creations, ‘Humanoid Visitor’ was also on show.

Keep an eye on the Illumini site for details of their next event, and remember to turn up early if you intend to visit the next opening night, as these events are phenomenally popular amongst the art-loving crowd in London. Frankly I can’t wait to see what Jane has in store for the next event!
