'The Icecreamists' opened a Guerrilla Ice Cream installation down in Selfridges, Oxford Street, London last month. Show runs til November 1st so get yourself down and indulge with the Queen of Cream, live Music and don't forget to try the Ice Cream.
• Cryogenic Cocktails made with liquid nitrogen and served at your table, including The Icecreamists signature ice cream cocktail, the ‘God Save the Cream’ - a ‘reverse flambé’ served at a blistering -196 degrees
• An exciting menu of sweet and savoury ice creams including The Gordon’s Glory - a 21st century reimagining of the knickerbockerglory and The Sex Pistol - a natural stimulant ice cream served in a glass accompanied by a shot of absinthe in a pink water pistol.
• The Sundae Lunch, fresh pea sorbet with a hint of mint, beef bouillon and horseradish sorbet with a Yorkshire Pudding crisp and an apple and blackberry crumble gelato.
• The Chocolate Volcano - their exclusive eye-wateringly calorific ‘Diet Destroyer’. This promiscuous little number has led to one-night-stands, life-long romances, affairs and even marriage proposals. So breathtakingly outrageous and immoral it could be banned under the Obscenity Laws. Submit to X-rated molten Belgian chocolate sauce poured onto a mountain of Ecuadorean Dark Chocolate Ice Cream and served with fresh seasonal fruit.
• Artisan ice creams exclusively designed by Italy’s acclaimed gelato master Roberto Lobrano using authentic ingredients from around the world. Gourmet flavours include Tahitian Vanilla, Venezuelan Chocolate, Argentinian Dulce De Leche and North African Spiced Cinnamon.

KGuy at Mutate
No sooner as we are getting in to the spirit and preparing to head down to the opening, than one of LAB's favorite K-Guy. Gives us a sneak preview of his latest piece at Mutate titled 'Coke Moss. Stay tuned to LAB for some interesting K-Guy Co-Lab's.
COKE MOSS - Inspired by his love of picking up discarded trash from
the streets, well, some people collect stamps, I like crushed Coke
cans, Okay. He's again linked two disparate images and I guess He's
cocking a snook at the Americanisation and cultural bombardment in
British society, He's been kind of thinking recently about the fact
that we don't actually make anything in this country anymore and the
only thing we do export is people, celebrity, whatever.
He's also hand screened a small edition of only 35 screen prints,
size 750 x 750mm that will be on sale at the show.

Polaroid RIP
The 9th October 2009 will see the final Use by or Expiration date of the last batch of Polaroid film manufactured. The exhibition at Atlas will feature a wide selection of Polaroid prints by photographers who have either worked directly with the Polaroid Corporation as part of their research program or who have become famous for the quality of their Polaroid prints either alongside or independent from their traditional camera-based work. It will thus trace the development and use of this unique medium up to the present day.
At the Atlas Gallery 9th October - 28th November. 41 Dorset Steet London W1U 7NF
The exhibition will feature special commissioned works by Contemporary artist Marc Quinn, legendary Pop artist Peter Blake, and iconic Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt. Quinn wrote of this experience: What I like about Polaroids is that they are like a sculpture of a photograph. In other words, when you press the button, the Polaroid comes out of the camera, and image is transformed into an object (May, 2009).

Free Art Fair - 12-18th October at the Barbican London
The art fair where all the work is given away at the end will be the biggest best most fun version ever. For once instead of art going to the highest bidder or those who can afford it, someone who really loves an artwork will be able to have it for free!!!
Affordable Art Fair - 22-25th October, Battersea Park London
When Will Ramsay set up the fair in 1999 his aim was to make contemporary art accessible to everyone and to show you don’t need to be an art expert or a millionaire to enjoy and buy art. Ten years on the fair is still a relaxed and fun way to browse a huge variety of art at one time.
Frieze - 15-18th October, Regents Park London
Frieze Art Fair features more than 150 galleries from around the world, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to see and buy art by the world’s leading artists.

Robert Kusmirowski, Bunker. The Curve at the Barbican
Preview 30 Sep-14 Oct
A rare chance to see behind the scenes and the artist at work. Everyone is welcome to come into the bunker but please be aware that the artist is working and not all areas of the installation may be accessible. Full installation will be revealed 15 October.
Watch the installation being built with the live view camera plus all the latest updates with the Bunker Blog
For his first solo exhibition in the UK, Polish artist Robert Kusmirowski transforms The Curve into a World War Two-era bunker. This highly atmospheric installation – featuring a warren of mysterious rooms and a draisine running along a track that disappears into a dark tunnel – transports viewers to another reality.
Renowned for meticulous simulations of historical settings, Kusmirowski’s installations challenge the notion of the real. A hybrid of the artist’s imagination and personal memories of actual places and those depicted in films and photographs, these works bring together found objects with elements constructed out of wood, cardboard, paint and other materials. Kusmirowski’s installations, structures and objects delve into the personal and collective past, unearthing complicated histories and questioning memory. In his recent project The Collector’s Massif (2009) at Bunkier Sztuki in Krakow, Kusmirowski displayed his vast inventory of objects from previous installations alongside a private collection of toys. At the New Museum in New York, he constructed Unacabine (2008), a replica of the remote cabin in Montana where Polish-American terrorist Theodore Kaczynski conceived his mail bombing campaign against American universities, airlines and other companies. Kusmirowski’s Wagon (2006), exhibited in the 4th Berlin Biennale, was modelled after train carriages used to transport detainees to Auschwitz. Bunker draws on the Barbican Estates’ history and location on a site devastated by bombing during World War II.
Bunker is part of the POLSKA! YEAR in the UK. POLSKA! YEAR comprises over 200 projects presenting the most interesting achievements of Polish culture to the British public. The cultural programme is co-ordinated by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, which is responsible for the promotion of Polish culture abroad. To find out more go to www.polskayear.pl

Home Grown the story of Hip Hop
HomeGrown: The Story of UK Hip Hop is the first major exhibition to chronicle, in depth, the development of the UK Hip Hop scene.
Manchester Urbis Museum From October 15th - April 2010
Looking back over three decades, the exhibition tells the story of how a generation of youth took the spirit of the Bronx block party and fused it with their own uniquely British influences. In doing so it shows how a US subculture featuring art, politics, rhyme, dance and music was adopted, adapted and embraced to create a powerful, complex, cultural force, this side of the
Atlantic.
Working with the UK's most influential figures in Hip Hop the exhibition brings together the rare, remarkable and irreplaceable in Hip Hop photography, music, film and fashion from the best private collections.

In tiny crevices and under dusty beds, there lies a secret creativity by the unknowns of society. Unexpected, delicate and profound, this democratic work has inspired the world’s greatest artists.
In Exhibition #1, the museum presents over two hundred drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations, selected by leading contemporary artists, curators and cultural figures.
Come see their discoveries revealed for the very first time - at London’s only public space for art by the untrained, unintentional and unseen creators of this, our modern world.
