Titi Freak

Cor Da Rua (literally ‘street colour’) is a major UK showcase for what has been called one of the most significant roots of the global urban movement, with ten of Brazil’s most cutting-edge contemporary artists showing all original new work. The Sao Paolo art collective Choque Cultural bring their high-energy creativity to Brighton.
Bracos Cruzados by Silvano Mello
Ten artists are exhibiting in two rounds of five. The first batch will feature Titi Freak, Daniel Melim, Silvano Mello, Andrei Muller and KBOCO, an eclectic bunch of artists specialising in lithography, street and canvas painting, modern and traditional styles and all a product of the colourful, vibrant and often economically oppressive Brazilian culture.

Five more native Brazilian artists will exhibit from 5 November.

Cor Da Rua, until 9 December, O Contemporary, Trafalgar Street, Brighton.

» Rock of ages

Iggy Pop by Mick Rock
The Rockarchive collection is a music photography agency run along similar lines to Magnum. It was set up by Jill Furmanovsky and features some of music’s greatest names – The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Clash, Iggy Pop, Bob Marley – captured by some of photography’s greatest practitioners: David Corio, Bob Gruen, Gerard Mankowitz, Mick Rock and Jill Furmanovsky herself.

This collection of stylistic and iconoclastic rock images features many legendary musicians, captured in intimate moments or on stage, strutting their stuff. The images reveal the vivacious spirit that infuses each new age of music, from the histrionic glittering of glam, the rebellious face of punk to the natural cool of 70s soul. Each hand-signed limited edition print comes embossed, individually numbered and with a certificate of authenticity.

The exhibition features a roll call of distinguished rock photographers, many seduced by the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle they captured, and who often formed close relationships with their subjects, sharing and photographing all that is both illicit and exciting about the music scene, and documenting the rise and ruin of many of our modern music icons. These photographers aided in giving life to legends, immortalising them in the moment and cementing their notoriety and fame.

Anthology: The Rockarchive Collection, Crane Kalman Gallery, Kensington Gardens, Brighton, until 11 November. www.rockarchive.com

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

AOH Special: It’s Festival time in Brighton & Hove, which means the Artists Open Houses have opened their doors for another year! Maps of all the trails can be picked up across the city. We love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
