May 14, 2010The Street & Vitamin Water Fashion Show Pics
May 4, 2010For all of you who missed out on this little gig…shame! Vitamin Water & The Street hosted a banging party in Parkhurst at the new pop-up store. So you walked in for FREE….the hostesses gave you colourful clothes pegs, and tells you to proceed to the bar, where you can get FREE drinks for the entire night. From then on in it was all down hill. Room after room, door after door with all sorts of crazy stuff is going on (people getting dressed & undressed getting ready for their 15 minutes of fame. Once you were done in that room you decide that it’s time to get your mack on, there is an outside area with bean bags, sofa’s, beautiful people. Then all of a sudden, people start walking down a catwalk!! BOOM a fashion show.

April 30, 2010Bone Art
April 28, 2010Francois Robert spent hundreds of hours arranging the real bones of a single human skeleton into a series of striking iconic shapes, each five or six feet wide. He titled the haunting series, ‘Stop the Violence.'”
“In the mid-90’s, during an auction from an old school, I purchased 3 metal lockers and to my surprise one of them held a real, full size articulated skeleton,” he says. “For years I had it displayed in one of the rooms in my studio and I often wondered what else I could do with it. Finally the idea came to me to explore the idea of disassembling the skeleton and rearranging the bones, and from that process came the series ‘Stop the Violence.’”
Robert confesses that more than anything else he is motivated by the fear of death. “The bones are something left behind, a form of memory. I try to treat that person on my studio floor with respect.”
PHYLLIS GALEMBO
April 21, 2010Phyllis Galembo has been obsessed with Costumes/Halloween ever since she was a kid. This would ultimately be her calling in life. She studied in the US but has spent most of her time traveling to places like Haiti, Zambia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria documenting the the Masquerade/ Ritual/ Costume culture of these parts, she has even been able to photograph Rare glimpses at emerging Costume trends in different Secret Societies. This kinda stuff makes me so proud of Africans! To see how much creative potential is just waiting to be unleashed on the rest of the world. I thinkg we will see some of the most influencial artists/designers/musicians coming out of Africa in the next 50 years. Wanna bet??
