Art Down Below

You'd've thought vampire enthusiasts and Goths formed a seamless unity.The truth is rather different as this justly famous episode of South Park witnesses (the key confrontation is after 4.00 if you can't bear the Spanish subtitles). But there is some crossover between Vamps and Goths in London and I decided to breach the great divide by attending the private view of an exhibition in the Crypt Gallery at St Pancras to which one of the Vamps was contributing. It's rather a lovely space, dank and atmospheric, and thankfully they haven't even cleared away some of the broken monuments. It's better with fewer people in it, though.

Somewhere beyond the crowd of people on the right were the rather fabulous strings-and-electronica duo The McCarricks. Well, you can tell something's happening.
You may have noticed I haven't photographed any of the art. Apart from some moody photographs of Nunhead Cemetery I found it all a bit bemusing, to be frank. Below you can see the aftermath of a performance of which I only caught a glimpse: it involved somebody writhing on the floor under a black cloth.
