That’s right, we went there. For one night only TANK became a hotel/bordello/gallery space in which we slept. Don’t get me wrong – we had good reason to. The first installation of Emma Winters’ extravagant piece “A Tale of Trails” had been installed and open to the public for a month previously. Turns out, building a gigantic tree out of willow branches and pages from old books is not only awesome cool but extremely beautiful. Emma’s installation at TANK is only the start of a project in which new worlds and dramatic settings will be created in spaces all over London.
The night in question was Emma’s closing party. As we made merry amist the billowing smoke and otherworldly-music, sipping on Vodka and Lyche cocktails (easiest thing in the world to make – Glass, Ice, Vodka of choice and Rubicon Lyche juice to taste. Stir, shake, what-evz – Banging!) it occurred to us that we should bring blankets into the grotto and spend the night. More fun that getting the bus home and besides why would you sleep in a bed when you can sleep on a hard wood floor?
I’ll tell you something though – making rubber Catsuits with what I now refer to as “The Lyche-Over” is a savage way to spend a morning after.
