Bloc Party Add Tour Dates
Contribute to future-themed photo exhibit/book alongside Goldfrapp

Bloc Party have added a considerable number of UK and European dates to their current tour, which will carry them around the world between now and May.

And as if we didn’t already have enough dystopian visions of the future from them in the form of A Weekend in the City, they are also contributing to a photography book and exhibition inspired by the theme "Tomorrow." The project-- titled All Tomorrow's Pictures-- will commemorate London's Institute of Contemporary Arts' 60th anniversary. Bloc Party, Alison Goldfrapp, Helena Christensen (hello!), and album artist Peter Blake are among the project's 60 contributors, who will use a Sony Ericsson K800i camera phone to produce an image or series of images based on the theme.

The only non-celebrity contributor will be the winner of an online contest that ends March 2. After the public votes on the photo submissions, a panel including ICA Artistic Director Ekow Eshun will judge a shortlist of contestants to determine the winner. Full contest rules are here.

The exhibit will run from May 30 through June 8, and the book will be available on opening day. Also on that day, there will be an auction of the original prints.
