You Give Love, A Bad Name?

Some images from my Art Pavilion, Allove Festival May 2010

On the Allove Festival Facebook page, a fag slammed the freaks for giving homosexuals 'a bad image'.
An African statesman who shares a political platform with Kofi Annan, Tony Blair and Bob Geldof has condemned homosexuality as an "abomination", dismissing individuals' right to privacy with the riposte: "You want to make love to a horse?"
In Malawi, Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga were sentenced to 14 years in separate jails for conducting an openly gay relationship.

Crisis? What crisis?

Ever tried making the beautiful out of the damned?

Ain't no money to mention? Use your head. Give head if you have to: Sex it up!

Ain't no sunshine? Spraypaint a big sun on a wall and put up a lemonade stand.

Here in the bottom left corner of Europe am putting up one helluva lemonade stand: an Art Pavilion with painting and film and fun and performers and if someone decides to get frisky in the middle of it all, well I'll just put a price tag on it and call it Art!
