Oh! Nena






I'm dying!

I'm dying for all these gorgeous headbands designed by Venezuela based label OH! NENA (created by ANDREA MORENA, DANIELA ORDONEZ and VALANTINA ALVARADO.

All the accessories are named after girls. They're all pretty, but I'm especially crushing on the Gabriela headband ;-)

Just pick your favourite girl!

Masse Critique. NIKLAUS WENGER. untitled. 2008


NIKLAUS WENGER is a Swiss artist living and working in Bern. Last year, he presented with another Swiss artist KILIAN RÜTHEMANN, a selection of works entitled Masse Critique at Art Center of Neuchâtel (CAN). Together they “restyled” some of the walls. They selected raw, poor and unstable materials to respond to an idea of desecration of artistic work: the pieces of the exhibition cannot be saved at the end of the show and thus cannot be sold.

Andreï Molodkin






sweet crude eternity



Russian Artist ANDREÏ MOLODKIN, who splits his time between Paris and Moscow, has been using crude oil to create art for many years now. He said he was inspired to create works with oil when he worked on a train which transported missiles through Siberia. As it was not possible to find coal, the train was instead run on oil- which made the soldiers working on it very dirty. "When we came out from the train to ask villagers for food or water, they saw how dirty we were and they gave us so much food"." It was like exchanging oil for the food"

By transforming oil from an organic resource into an aesthetic form, ANDREÏ MOLODKIN raises important questions regarding the role of oil within our contemporary Western culture. And we can also seen the clash between culture and economy where the artist uses recognizable religious images or cultural iconography as his subject matter.

"Oil is like a global language of our world, a country can communicate with another just through energy or a resource." - by MOLODKIN for BBC World Service's The Ticket programme.

Xavier Chassaing. Update



Today I rediscovered the work of XAVIER CHASSAING and I'm still impressed! He is a Parisian director with an enchanting intention: to recreate “the experience of seeing something so different that it is registered in virgin part of the brain… as it is when kids see glitter and sequins for the first time.”

Definitively an exciting emerging talent! Today I present you a music video he made for the electronic group DEL WIRE and my advice: don't miss
his work for YSL for their first manifesto with Gisele Bundchen in 2008 and scintillation, the chef - d'oeuvre presented on WFW in February 2009

Hell'O Monsters




HELL’O MONSTERS is a Belgian collective formed by BLASTUS (Jérôme Meynen), DESRO (François Dieltiens), EWING 33 (Grégory Van Cleemput) and TATONE (Antoine Detaille).

Collaborating for more than a year, the four artists successfully blend their individual styles to create an imaginary universe occupied by hybrid characters such as monsters with multiple eyes, mutated animals, humans with their heads split open. The group’s creations, despite their colorful and happy look, are in fact caustic commentaries on the adult world, human nature and society.

Michael Flückiger & Nicolas Kunz. Laika



LAIKA is the Bachelor Thesis of MICHAEL FLÜCKIGER and NICOLAS KUNZ , students at Bern University of the Arts in Switzerland.

LAIKA a digital typeface that can change its shape and appearance at any moment reacting to a broad spectrum of inputs. This font is neither bold nor thin, but swings between these two extremes. Its form is no longer defined statically, but alters dynamically. As well as the font’s weight, the stroke contrast, serif lengths and italic angles of the font all behave dynamically too. All these parameters can be driven and influenced by a range of inputs, in order to create a typeface that changes constantly in real time.

Jelte Van Abbema. Symbiosis




symbiosis


SYMBIOSIS is an experimental project that involved printing with bacteria. Dutch designer JELTE VAN ABBEMA printed on paper and billboards, creating simple typographic forms that changed colour and form as the bacteria multiplied and then died.

He has developed a new manner to publicly captivate without changing poster each week. Time gets barral at the work and transforms the image to something new. The bacteria act and create their own aesthetically induced dimension. No surprise why he won the the €10,000 Rado Prize at the Dutch Design Awards last week. Excellent!

Lucy


JULIA BRUDERER is a Swiss illustrator who was awarded the Swatch Young Illustrators Award on Sunday ( 18 October, 2009). Congratulation!

LUCY is an ongoing project inspired by the 3.2million year old fossils of a female Australopithecus afarensis named Lucy. In this representation she embodies the celebration of opposite forces in creation that have governed and propelled us forward over the millennia. The boundaries between representation and abstraction, fact and fiction, animal and man, simplicity and complexity, have merged, allowing her to be both dead and alive in us all today. These drawings are about 2m in length and 1m in width.

Please click on the individual drawings for a detailed view. and if you have questions, don't hesitate to contact JULIA BRUDERER


Kiel Johnson & Theo Gemison



KIEL JOHNSON is a crazy guy: he constructed an elaborate, oversized replica of a twin-lens reflex camera entirely made from cardboard, hot glue, and tape. But the most amazing thing is that the camera actually takes pictures — it’s a basic pinhole camera. And while he was making this gigantor camera, THEO JEMISON captured the endeavor on another medium, film!

Well done guys!
