Tomoko Takhashi exhibition opening with DJ NIKKI BEATNIK a huge success!

...and what a fantastic day it was! Approaching the De La Warr Pavilion in all its splendour on a sunny Saturday, it was a truely spine-tingling sight to see the sun terrace teeming with people enjoying DJ NIKKI BEATNIK's chilled-out tunes and heartily discussing Tomoko Takahashi's exhibition with broad smiles. People meandered round the Antony Gormley sculptures on the roof terrace and waved to friends and family dancing and chatting below. Others chilled out on deck chairs bathed in sunshine, a cold drink in hand. An inspiring exhibition celebrated in beautiful informal surroundings - a perfect summer day all in all.

"What a fantastic vibe this afternoon.....excellent to dance to the amazing tunes in the wonderful sunshine"

"What an amazing afternoon. Thank you to Tomoko, Nikki and the event organisers. Please do it again sometime!"

Pics of the event will be uploaded shortly. Please put up your pics too!

So come along for a day of culture, entertainment and quality food and drink. Soak up the atmosphere and browse this exceptional exhibition at your own pace.

Mesmerising performance by CocoRosie

CocoRosie wove a spell over the De La Warr Pavilion on Saturday night. I was mesmerised by the mix of vocals and visuals and could quite happily have stood there for hours without noticing the passing time. There was something almost unreal about these two sisters who were not just playing songs, but creating an experience for the audience. I loved the mix of unusual instruments and the band were excellent, but the thing that sticks in my mind is their two haunting voices, bringing together rap, opera and incantation in a way that seemed totally natural and very beautiful; and very at home in the De La Warr Pavilion.
