Green Day Presents: 'The Art of Rock' Curated By Logan Hicks
In November 2008 the seed for the Green Day Art Project was planted. The concept was to choose eighteen international artists to informally collaborate with GreenDay. Each artist would receive lyrics to one of the songs from the soon to be released 21st Century Breakdown.Then they would produce a piece of art that was influenced, or inspired by the lyrics of the song. Although the artists had the lyrics, they did not have the music that accompanied the words.The results from that collaboration are presented in this show.
Stolen Space London 23.10.09 - 01.11.09. Preview night Thursday 22nd October.

Ed Ruscha at The Hayward
This is the first retrospective to focus exclusively on the paintings of the Los Angeles based artist Ed Ruscha, one of the most influential and pioneering American artists of the past half century. The exhibition reveals the depth and breadth of Ruscha's achievement as a painter and highlights the conceptual underpinnings of his approach to painting. In addition to exploring the impact of print and graphic media on the artist's aesthetic strategies, it also focuses on the incisive portrait of American culture that is presented through his imagery.

Maharaja, the Splendour of India's Royal Courts
'Maharaja' The latest show to come out of the V&A opened this week, with over 250 object spanning from the 18th to the mid 20th Century. Show runs until Jan 2010. Get yourself down for gem busting inspiration.
Thrones, gem-encrusted weapons, a Rolls Royce... there's nothing particularly subtle about the world of the maharajas as explored in this major exhibition at the V&A, which covers the period from the collapse of the Mughal empire in the early eighteenth century to the end of British rule in 1947, when Indian princes acceded their territories into the modern states of India and Pakistan. But, as well as bringing on the bling, the show looks at the changing role and influence of the maharajas - politically and socially, in India and Europe - through their patronage of artists and designers. Paintings, photography, textiles, jewellery, metalwork and furniture are on show, many coming to the West for the first time, giving an indication of princely life and ideals, court culture and alliances.

Painting under the name Cyclops Lucas is one of London’s most prolific street artists and a founding member of the Burning Candy Collective. Lucas’ gallery works have an raw urgent feel to them, both angry and intimate, as if he has purged his mind in the process of applying paint to canvas. Often heavily layered and incorporating overlapping text and images they have a striking honesty and freshness to them. For this show Lucas has created an installation which promises to confuse the senses and give a unique insight into his view of the world.
