LONDON

Kompound's international correspondent, the lovely Miss Bek, has recently found herself back in the big smoke after a hazy visit to the Scottish Highlands to ensure that the world's scotch supply is up to scratch.

Upon return to London town, Bek stumbled across what is sure to be one of the finest exhibitions in the world at the moment...
So, if yr in London or know someone who is (stats show that 23-35% of London is made up of Aussie backpackers) tell them to get along to this one...

In the first commission to use the building's river façade, and the first major public museum display of street art in London, the Tate Modern presents the work of six internationally acclaimed artists including:

Blu from Bologna, Italy
the artist collective Faile from New York, USA
JR from Paris, France
Nunca and Os Gemeos, both from Sao Paulo, Brazil
and Sixeart from Barcelona, Spain.
