…a new name to me but he has made some impressive sculptural landscape pieces, it is a complete coincidence (at least i think so) but i have just realised the striking similarity between these and the 2012 logo below!

funky shoes
having recently posted some new work from ‘lernert & sander’ i was surprised to see they have also been busy in london all i can say after seeing their amazing window display for selfridges is… wow…
…what looks like an oversized pink Chanel clog, on closer inspection is actually a dishwasher built into the body of the shoe. A dust buster becomes this season’s Alexander McQueen hoof-heels; sewing machines are remodeled into a pair Yves Saint Laurent skyscrapers while two slick black irons are transformed into Stella McCartney stilettos.
“We wanted to turn stock items into startlingly smart footwear. A humorous take on fashion as an ideal escape from the daily grind.”
that’s not art, it’s advertising…
this is ‘anne’ she can be found standing in front of the ‘façade’ billboard in town this week (like she and others did at all of the other ‘façade’ locations during the past summer) her role is to get into conversation with passers by about the billboard behind her and about advertising in the city in general, some of the best comments will make their way into the book i am currently finishing…
the ‘re:frame expo’ also opens later today and the posters, publicity stuff and display cabinets are fortunately all ready on time… we are already using some of the pieces of the discarded billboards to produce products for ‘re:frame’, all of this re-re-re-recycling is getting a bit confusing by now… the remains will be cut up for use as covers for the (numbered and unique) books, which of course people can then remove from the book and transform into something new, waste not want not..
by the way i would also like to thank you once again anne, for helping me not to break my neck yesterday afternoon, whilst climbing around like a monkey with a felt pen in my hand (see earlier post yesterday)
