pushing up daisy
i was in the hague last night briefly to pick up a pile of wood, together with 40+ other designers and artists i have been given approx. 4 months to turn it into something interesting… we meet again in november when the results will all be exhibited somewhere and then auctioned off for a good cause…
mismatch & ultimate power
this weekend i visited the rietveld academy graduation show, as usual always worth the trip…the graphics department was perhaps less interesting than in previous years i found, although one student stood out in my memory: sophie rogg
a swiss student who created a series of bright, graphic textile patterns with unlikely titles such as ‘the axis of evil according to george w. bush’ and ‘tax havens’
her prints were not only interesting as an idea but were also beautifully executed in multiple extravagant colours using flags and symbolism
china
belgian photographer kurt vansteelant recently sent me some of his images and information about his various visits to china since 2006 where he has documented everyday life on the city streets
