We paid a visit to the recently refurbished flagship store on Bond Street to check out the exhibition, which consists of a series of ten artworks inspired by the Panama diary. Each of the pieces focuses on an individual high profile figure, from past or present, exploring their relationship with their Panama diary or book. The list of subjects includes Sigmund Freud, Katharine Hepburn, Bryan Ferry, Kylie Minogue and Dita Von Teese.

Improv Everywhere ‘Conduct Us’

The Improv Everywhere crew are at it again… the latest mission involved putting a Carnegie Hall orchestra in the middle of New York City and placing an empty podium in front of the musicians with a sign that read, “Conduct Us.” Random New Yorkers who accepted the challenge were given the opportunity to conduct this world-class orchestra. With mixed results, the orchestra responded to the conductors, altering their tempo and performance accordingly.
