HAHA blast from the past! (well not that long ago)

I was trying to find the venue of the exhibition we were in in Basel for Nike Art of Football with SHOWstudio and look what I found - look out for Lauren chatting away about our piece and me looking rather quieter than normal!

Nike 1-1: Basel Exhibition

Work in progress.

This is a little tiny clip of something I'm working on at college. 7 weeks until the final show!!! This isn't what I'm making for the final show but it's something I have been working on for ages, once I've got it edited I'll put it up here.

Art is Proof

At Suprette this week we have a few things in a show called All My Best Friends Are...Illustrators, Print Makers, Designers, Makers and Writers, including these limited edition print/collages.






It runs 18th – 28th March Weekdays 12 til 6 • Weekends 11 til 6. Above are our good friends Leah, Mark and Will of Art is Proof who are running the show. The work is all priced at affordable prices and really beautiful, well worth a visit.

ICA - Heavy Pencil

What a wicked night. I don't think the ICA were ready for scantily clad Iain!
He was our perfect muse for the evening as he sang classic tunes from our most treasured femme fatal singers (Madonna, Pj Harvey, Amy Winehouse) we created him an item of costume to wear for each song. We started by making a giant pencil, then gloves, then shoulder pieces and a music stave for his guitar finishing in the photo here in a giant warrior headdress.



We loved every minute of it despite the pre-event nerves of the pressure of creating live on the stage, roll on the next one!

HEAVY PENCIL

On Thursday we are hosting Heavy Pencil at the ICA. The night is playing big sister to the Birds Eye View closing party in the theatre. The theme is Femme Fatales and we have teamed up with our good friend Iain Woods aka {Psychologist } to present a night of making, costume and performance.

Come and watch the night get decidedly dangerous......

It is being held at

Institute of Contemporary Arts
The Mall,
London,

Design Museum

I have just had a great weekend installing our Book Rainbow in the design museum to represent YCN in the competion linked above. Billed as the critic choice in Time Out (the show not our piece) and described as this on the Design Museum's website as "Now in their third year, the Brit Insurance Designs Awards "the Oscars of the design world" showcase the most innovative and forward thinking designs from around the world." It opens on Wednesday the 17th, judging starts a week on Wednesday. Good luck YCN!!

Have a go Tuesday!

So I've been working pretty hard on some stuff for my MA in between pitching for various jobs. There are few ideas that I have been working on for a while. One of the ideas is a film I'm working on at the moment. This is still of me eating my lunch. I filmed it in the studio but it's when I've watched it back it feels a little dead. I think it needs a to be a bit more uncomphortable so I'm in the process of trying to take it into the outside world! Watch this space or at your local swimming pool!
