How I long for a Village Underground studio space!

I had stumbled upon Village Underground a few months ago in an online piece about London's hidden treasures (i forget what website this was on...) and so I stumbled upon it again today in the recent Time Out London issue, 'Secret London Special'. Urban Village, set up by Auro Foxcroft, is a sort-of set-up of studio and office spaces in London. The spaces are in old shipping containers and underground train carriages and situated on roof-top plots (currently I believe just in the Shoreditch area although the Time Out piece tells of his plans to expand abroad) I just think they are such an innovative way of creating new, cheaper studio spaces in a city full of creative people looking for just that. I want one!!

Have also been having a peek on the Showstudio website (http://showstudio.com/) and loving some of the videos in the archive section there - particularly The Raven by Jez Tozer, which appears to show a woman's transformation throught clothing, accessories and make-up into...well a raven I suppose. Also thought some of the videos in the current The Fashion Body project were quite interesting too.

Belle De Jour dvd - currently available for

£3.99 on HMV website - http://hmv.com/hmvweb/home.do

Finally, I bought a dvd today, Luis Bunuel's 'Belle De Jour' (£5 instore at HMV!!) as I'm looking into dreams and dream-like states, fantasies etc. for a current project I'm working on...would love to hear any other suggestions for this...and I will be letting you all know what I thought of the film tomorrow!
