Not literally of course, I don't want to be locked up for 56 days without trial for inciting terrorism (some alarm in a government database has probably just started ringing, very loudly). This is bombing in the graf sense, and there's a screening of a documentary, Bomb It, tonight at the NFT tonight, and Q&A with director John Reiss. This is organised by Blacktronica, an organisation I've got loads of time and respect for. Goddam why does Mos Def have to be tonight as well, and the FWD Warehouse rave? So much to do, so little time. That's London life! Thanks for the info Dean @ Watchmen.
Blacktronica Special Preview: Bomb It NFT1 followed by Blacktronica club night 10pm - 1am. Free with ticket to film screening DJs Charlie Dark, Acyde, Tic, Paul Rapscallion
Bomb It
USA 2007. Dir Jon Reiss. 93min.
An explosive documentary investigating the most subversive and controversial artform shaping international youth culture: graffiti. Through the interviews and guerilla footage, Bomb It tells the story of the art form from its cave-painting origins to its NYC explosion in the 70s and 80s, and then follows the flames as they paint the globe. Featuring old school legends and current favourites, director Reiss tracks down today's most innovative street artists as they battle for control over the urban visual landscape.
