Just came back from a holiday in England where not only did I have a good party at Bultins for the amazing BLOC festival, but also stopped of at my old hood in London for a dose of shoreditch style and East London attitude, it was ace. I love Berlin but I also love London and more and more when I see the creatives from the East End of London descend upon Berlin, more and more do see Icons like Leigh Bowery and their legacy's become apparent.

One of my favourite Berlin galleries, CFA, are currently hosting a homage to the godfather of our electro generation, Leigh Bowery. Contemporary Fine Arts is pleased to present homage to the fashion designer, performance artist and boundary breaker Leigh Bowery (1961-1994).


Leigh Bowery was one of the most dazzling figures of the London scene in the eighties and early nineties. With his spectacular performances, fantastic costumes and appearances as a “living artwork” he influenced musicians like Boy George and avant-garde designers like Vivienne Westwood. He served the painter Lucian Freud as a nude model and muse. Further notoriety he gained by cooperating with the dancer Michael Clark and as the founder of the legendary nightclub “Taboo” in London. In the exhibition "Leigh Bowery" Contemporary Fine Arts shows photographs by Fergus Greer as well as films from and with the artist.Please, please, please get yourself down there so you can understand what your eyeliner, sequins, shoulder pads and edgy super sexi disco style, is all about.
