DÉSIRES ABSTRAITS BY JENNETTE LAVEN
"DÉSIRES ABSTRAITS” By: Jennette Laven || Is an exploration into one woman’s sexual psyche through the isolated and abstract depths of her mind. Flashes of strange erotic scenes begin to manifest. It is a viewing and acquiring of her subconscious arousal, dipped in crimson, an emboldened and violent female color the subject identifies with. She sinks in and let’s it take her where she has kept it buried — in a place absent of need and want, where there is no room for others. She tastes the forbidden fruit and begins to fuse with this unknown self, becoming red.

INTERVIEW WITH HARRY F CONWAY FOR THE RELEASE OF "ADOLESCENT PETALS"
When I think of my adolescence, I think of climbing over fences, getting beaten up, beating people up, watching porn with mates, walking for hours to explore an abandoned house, getting chased by the police and getting away. I think about all those long nights coming home at 3am and my mum being sad because she knew what I was doing. Drinking stupid amounts of rubicon until my tongue was orange. Holding my finger over the date on the child travelcard so we could get countless night buses around the city. Buying my first pair of 90’s and ruining them. All those hours writing the same four letters over and over. Stealing ink so we could stick n’ poke stupid shit on each other. Moshing to my mates bands in the backroom of pubs. I remember my mum crying in the dock as I got sent to prison and all my friends waiting outside the court room. Getting head on the tube home. Looking at pictures of friends that are now just strangers. Just not giving a fuck about what people thought of me.

THE LONDON VAGABOND
1. So after all you went through in the last two years, who is THE LONDON VAGABOND since coming home this past September?
The London Vagabond has come out as a reformed character! Nah, in all honesty I've just been settling back into reality and have got straight back to shooting as much as I can! I'm sure a few people will say I have come out a little bit more screwed up than before, perhaps they're right...
SEAN MAUNG INTERVIEW
These days through social media it's easy to make a whole persona with no authenticity and big branding buys into that without fact checking the artist. Can you talk about the importance of having an authentic body of work and what changes you would like to see in how culture is being showcased to the main-stream audience.
SEAN MAUNG - That's a good and important question. My body of work is my soul. It will be the spirit that transcends my body after I die. All I ever wanted since I picked up a camera was for my work to be dope and official. That's all I can do, and the rest is out of my control. As for how art and culture are being showcased, who are these "gatekeepers" aka creative directors, gallery curators, art-book stores, etc? Most are so disconnected from the street, from everyday life, from the communities where movements are being born. They live in lofts and eat at spots in Echo Park and chill with people who are all their same age and background. There is no cross pollination. So they are isolated and they turn to social media and they follow the hype that has been created artificially. That's what I see when I see these "gatekeepers." Isolated from real-ass people and communities and relying on social media to find what's hot. There ain't nothing original about that and it shows.
