'an exhibition of furnishings that looks to the hybrid nature of contemporary art and design. Through careful use and re-use of materials and objects a domestic environment is transformed into rooms inhabited by characters both real and imaginary.' by artist duo Bishop & Bagnall showing 29 March - 30 April 2008 at Suite - 69 Owen Street, Newtown, Wellington.
The magazine arrived today - hot off the Paris press - Great story on the Hokianga by Jean Pascal Billaud and gorgeous portraits by Eric Flogny. Dallon August opened his art studio in the old ferry house this summer. For some bizarre reason I was wearing black and not smiling and Rob Pinkney, our resident cowboy, had literally just got back from a long stint in Japan.
It reads tres sexy in French! The best bit though, was meeting up with JP and Eric back in December. As I recall they rode it out in exceptionally stormy weather.
A meteorologically precise and perfect morning. If it wasn't a shop day - I might be hanging out with these dudes at Miti Miti beach. Image by Hokianga photographer Marg Morrow.
"Intersections, interferences, contaminations between art and design, between ordinary and extraordinary" are the story for the group show at Post Design. Its the ongoing conundrum of interest in contemporary design - Markus Benesch and Tobias Rehberger come up with interesting outcomes. Brings to mind a great saying printed on some of the Paris House wallets we have in store: "art will save the world right after rock and roll" cocktail is at 7pm on the 16th of April at Post Design in Via Moscova 27, Milan
in an email from Paris this morning i got called a stylish exile - from someone who would know. ( i once featured as one of his seven elegant women of Milan ) so here are my baubles and gumboots look. The baubles are vintage and beaded up by Thomas Roberts, Milan and the gumboots are Skellerup at RD1.
Momota's work has been described as both dreamy and eerie - ' having a Chagall like quality to it.' I love when I get the opportunity to see art work in the artists' studio. It's the perfect 'behind-the-scenes' - giving me a sense of their bigger picture.
