Today @ Bus-Tops throughout London
Your chance to paint the town red has finally arrived. Bus-Tops is an ingenious public art installation that transforms the tops of 30 bus shelters throughout London into platforms for giant LED designs. Each month, the displays will change and while some screens will feature the work of select artists, the majority will be filled with publicly created designs. Check out the website to see what other people have created and then design your own; even if it doesn't make it to the top of the bus shelter, it will be posted on the website. Bus-Tops is part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad and is open to everyone in the world....
Coming Up
Today @ Fire Club
Set in Serbia's second city – or rather in the many nooks and crannies of an unforgettable medieval fortress high above the town – the EXIT festival packs as much adrenaline and adventure as the best western Europe can offer. (Because the festival takes place at night, we recommend avoiding the camping option, unless you like to melt in tents.) This pre-party celebrates the involvement of London's very own Regulate bass-music crew and features some of the cream of the movement, including Loefah, Boddika, Deadboy and Dark Sky.

Today @ Etcetera Theatre
Shakespeare's blood-drenched early play Titus Andronicus, inspired by medieval revenge tragedies, is rarely performed. This version by Hiraeth at the Etcetera Theatre, transposes the extremism of the Roman Army to the 1980s' National Front skinhead movement in north London in an invigorating retelling produced and directed by Zoe Ford.
Today @ Tate Modern
One of Japan's most famous contemporary artists, who as a self-proclaimed "outsider" conquered the New York art world in the 1960s, Yayoi Kusama has voluntarily lived in a psychiatric institution since 1977. Do the dots look familiar? She recently unleashed hundreds of child disciples to obliterate a white room with thousands of colorful dot stickers. Dots, patterns, mirrored installations of speckled light — the self-reinventing artist has turned her neurotic and obsessional symptoms into immersive, striking experiences. This unique retrospective is her biggest exhibition ever in the UK.
