The next Edible Cinema is on the 17th and 18th of August (i.e. really soon) and we're so happy to say it's 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.' So much good material for us to work with, we're very excited. Even better, food/aroma specialist Louise Bloor is helping out with the olfactory side of our edible interpretation. Louise is the smartypants behind the Fragrant Supper Club, which incidentally we'd wholeheartedly recommend booking seats at (if you can get your hands on them before they sell out).
Tickets go on sale TODAY (Monday 5th August 2013) from 3pm, tickets for Saturday from here and Sunday from here.
We're doing a little work on some events for Jameson at Dalston Roof Park over the coming weeks. The events are all themed around the senses and the first - Touch - went down very nicely the weekend before last. We were lucky enough to have the Vinyl Library share their amazing collection and DJ guests' selections from it, Mike from Blanch & Shock talking about DIY bread and cheese making (we burned the milk, sorry Mike) and Seb from Double Negative Darkroom taking portraits with his Tintype Tent. The tintypes were particularly amazing - Seb calls them 'Victorian Polaroids', they're basically sheets of glass that act as negatives (i.e. they go in the camera and are exposed to light to take the picture) and are then developed like photos. So you end up with a sheet of glass with an amazing, otherworldly photograph on it. So beautiful. They'll be at Standon Calling festival this year and if you're going along, we would heartily recommend seeking them out.
Our next Jameson event at the beautiful Roof Park will be on the 18th August and this one will be all about Smell. We've co-curated with the amazing Odette Toilette, and activities on offer will include matching smells to iconic movies (Smell-O-Vision in the best possible sense), sessions on the link between smell and creativity and the opportunity to turn iconic men into perfumes, among other things... plus of course Jameson tastings, special aromatic cocktails, DJs, food stands and (hopefully) sun! It's free to attend and enjoy the activities, but you do need to be a member to get into the venue (£3 for a year and you can sign up on the day, pretty good deal, right?) It's also right next to the Barbican's amazing installation, which is handy...
We're looking forward to seeing the Ferran Adria exhibition at Somerset House this week, particularly the plasticine food models (which appeal for reasons we can't quite put our finger on) AND we have tickets for Punchdrunk's Drowned Man... top tip, when planning to attend monster productions such as this, buy tickets mid-late in the run because they'll have ironed out all the wrinkles by then. We've heard only wonderful things from those who've already been so we're very excited and will report our findings next week.
