Nan and Patrick take London

If you're skipping fleet week and are instead across the pond in London, check out Nan Goldin's two iconic slide shows, which will be playing alongside live performances by Patrick Wolf and John Kelly at the Tate this weekend.

The Other Side and The Ballad of Sexual Dependency consist of hundreds of impassioned photographs taken primarily in the 1970s and '80s, but the shows are updated every time. The Tate show will include pictures taken through 2007.

These images feel like old friends to me now. I like the surprise of a new one. I hadn't seen Wedding Bed. And what could be better than the accompaniment of Patrick Wolf? Lost urban 80's bohemia meets contemporary bedheadded British androgyny.

Listen and look!
