On August 7, Mark Neville's new video work debuts in Art After Dark.

LONDON—The Louise T Blouin Institute (whose namesake founder is the chairman and CEO of Louise Blouin Media, which publishes Art+Auction) premieres its Art After Dark 10 x 10 Summer Project on July 10. Every Thursday evening through September 11, the institute’s West End headquarters becomes a stage for sound, light, video and performance art, thanks to the efforts of 10 rotating curators. Kicking things off is “It Happened Here,” Portobello Film Festival director Jonathan Barnett’s homage to the 1970s rock culture of the West End’s Ladbroke Grove, showcasing work by local artists old and new. In the following weeks, the independent curator Guillaume Breton is offering a 60-TVscreen installation by CUTUP, a British graffiti-and performance-artist collective, and Alexandre Pollazzon, chief video curator at the Mayfair hot spot Sketch, will present a nod to U.K. nightlife titled “3 a.m. Eternal (after).” Visit www.ltbfoundation.org for the full calendar.

"Twilight Zone" originally appeared in the July 2008 issue of Art+Auction. For a complete list of articles from the July issue available on ARTINFO, see Art+Auction's July 2008 Table of Contents.
