Chicks on Speed: Happening
Kate MacGarry, 7a Vyner Street, Cambridge Heath, E2 9DG
Fashion, art and music all play a key role in the complex, multimedia output of Chicks on Speed. Their sculptural works often function as instruments, props and tools in their live performances, which in turn blend contemporary pop art and vibrant fashion with an early 20th Century avant-garde chique. Until 30 January.
