| Win The British Guide To Showing Off Blu-ray
Andrew Logan. British Artist. Living legend. And creator of the anarchic and utterly outrageous Alternative Miss World Show, a spectacular costume pageant and fancy dress party for grown ups.
Director Jes Benstock takes a joyous look at this most quirky and exotic subculture event in The British Guide to Showing Off, available on DVD and on Blu Ray for the first time from 23rd January.
Loved the world over by celebrities and misfits alike, Logan has hosted the Alternative Miss World Show since 1972 - a living sculpture spanning 40 years of art and culture and his most important artwork to date. Over its history, the show has both reflected and informed British arts and culture, pulling off the amazing feat of being beautiful, glamorous and kitsch all at the same time. Memorable highlights include artist David Hockney judging the first one, musician David Bowie not being able to get into the second, film director Derek Jarman winning the third and triumphing in a court case against the Official Miss World (with a little help from a young Tony Blair).
Featuring contributions from Brian Eno, Ruby Wax, fashionista Zandra Rhodes (who designed all of Andrew’s hostess costumes), Richard O'Brien, Nick Rhodes and Grayson Perry, The British Guide to Showing Off was filmed over 5 years, charting the mounting of the 2009 Show, bringing to life its history through newly discovered archive, exuberant animation, and plenty of offbeat humour from contestants old and new.
Raucous, liberating and sexually charged, The British Guide to Showing Off speaks to the outsider in all of us. For anyone who has ever wanted to break out.
We have five copies to give away. For a chance of winning one please enter your details below.
