Burroughs, the Indica gallery - 'Riflemaker becomes Indica' - the Liliane Lijn/NASA collaboration 'Stardust', John Maeda's virtual exploration, 'Maeda/Myspace', Alasdair Gray and Francesca Lowe's 'Terminus' and an investigation of 'Voodoo: Hoochie-Coochie and the Creative Spirit'. 79, Beak Street, Soho, London W1.

I love this gallery in such an interesting old building, with lots of character.... I went to see the Voodoo show with a friend back in Feb and will always remember it, especially the cellar with the bubbling wax......:) thanks for sharing these photos
