Puking Millie: Series Black

Last night, I attend the Arthur & Albert Studio to see the first solo show of my friend, performance artist and original Child of !WOWOW! Miss Mille Brown. She is mostly known for her technicolour yawn, where she regurgitates rainbow coloured vomit on to walls, objects, clothing, canvas' and even people.


Yesterday's performance consisted of Mille vomiting bright pink puke onto a white canvas, accompanied by a projection of Jez Tozer's 'Films for SHOWstudio 2' starring Mille as part of SHOWstudio's Political Fashion series.

Since Millie’s debut performance in Berlin in 2007, alongside other members of !WOWOW! and renowned performance artist Mark McGowan, Mille has collaboratively worked with SHOWstudio, Jez Tozer, Matthew Stone, Gareth Pugh and Adham Faramawy and most recently with Lady Gaga for her Monster Ball world tour video back drop, shot by the legendary vision-maker Nick Knight, where she vomited bright green all over Gaga's white couture dress.

Millie will be collaborating with SHOWstudio again later this spring, as part of the forthcoming Inside/Out exhibition in the SHOWstudio SHOP. Brown will execute two LiveStudio performances including a new venture; the construction of a mythical taxidermy beast and MORE puking!


Colin Christian: Inner Space @ Opera Gallery

British artist Colin Christian, currently has a collection of his original anime/fetish-sex-doll style sculptures on show at the Opera Gallery on Bond Street. He finds inspiration in old sci-fi moves, pin-up girls, supermodels, ambient electronic music and H.P. Lovecraft. In his work, Christian aims to take the exaggerations and perfections of cartoons and make them into a realistic 3D form.



Christian originally started out through his interest in movie special fx, producing fiberglass figures and displays. In 1998 he produced his first production figure, a towering 7 feet tall and anatomically correct anime girl named "Suki".




Later Christian took up commercial sculpture producing pieces for stores, museums and various businesses. He made a robot for the American Heart Association which was interviewed by Katie Couric on the Today show and he constructed the worlds largest mousetrap for pest control company Truly Nolen, which is now featured in the Guinness Book of World Records.
