till 5 Feb - Paul McCarthy's "Caribbean Pirates"

Whitechapel Art Gallery, London: "Due to popular demand, Paul McCarthy's major new work "Caribbean Pirates" continues in a warehouse 10 mins walk from the Gallery.

Developed from a conversation between artist and son, the work takes the Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland theme park ride as inspiration. A life-size frigate, houseboat and a huge kinetic machine bear the gory remains of a month-long film shoot featuring some thirty buccaneers & wenches engaging in brutal antics.

4.50/3 concessions. Free for Whitechapel Associates, Patrons & Members. Free for under 16s accompanied by an adult. Please note: The works in this exhibition are of an explicit and violent nature and are not suitable for young viewers" .

[back links] I'm including this longer 'event' because of the pirate theme developing amongst several young Goldsmiths swabs; including, I guess, my own scurvy links and ramblings .
