Joseph Nigoghossian’s ‘First Kiss’ @ Primitive London

We are proud to host an exhibition of Joseph Nigoghossian’s – “First Kiss”. Come and join us for some complimentary wine at the private view on Wednesday the 20th of April at Primitive boutique/gallery. All one hundred t-shirts/prints will be on display.

Inspired by the idealistic notion of the teenage romance, First Kiss is an expression of adolescent love and desire; naive, awkward and indulgent.

The collection combines fashion, film and art to create a series of beautifully romantic prints. A short film of 100 frames informs a series of 100 prints, each one individual and unique. The elusive image of a young couple’s embrace forms the central motif of the film, moving through a hazy spectrum of colours and shapes to create a stunning variety of prints. Rotation reflects the dizzying effects of adolescent infatuation while moments of deep saturation give way to delicate iridescence, reinforcing a deeply romantic, dream-like ideal.

The unisex shape embodies the shared experience of a kiss, and embraces a modern idea of romance and possession. A progressive approach to print design is complimented by exquisite finishing and luxury fabrication, ensuring each garment is entirely unique, individual and beautiful.

TRIPPPLE NIPPPLES (jp)

Trippple Nippples are two Japanese electro songstresses that transform lunatic delusions into performance art.
This is notably done by pouring and throwing egg, glitter, feather bombs, mud, blood, rotting spaghetti dressed with liquid latex at each other, or by squirting milky alcohol showers, projected from prosthetic breasts. If these chicks haven’t covered themselves in it, it probably doesn’t exist.
The music is pretty good too!
Trippple Nippples are Yuka Nippple, Qrea Nippple, and Joseph Lamont, the Australian mastermind behind Trippple Nippples’ music production.

THE MICRODANCE

The Microdance are a London-based five piece whose anomalous, textured, heavy and beautiful sound has earned them comparisons to The Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, New Order and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Their new EP, Get Dark, is available now and streaming at their MySpace page — bringing fresh hope to lovers of new wave and shoegaze.

Endurance Club Night London

Endurance is one of the best monthly club nights in London.

They play a mix of EBM, NEW BEAT / AGGREPO & INDUSTRIAL RHYTHMS.

It is always packed – which is suprising with the  music they play. I have a soft spot for EBM and didn’t think that more people got into it as much as they do.

The crowd is mix of East London Hipsters, fashion and art kids and goths. Strange and really cool mix of people.

This is a mix on their website: click here

The next party is on the 9th of April @ The Alibi.

POP mg: Christopher Nemeth feature is out now !

撮影の日、外はすんごくさむくて、雪がふてってて、すごくきれいだった

mark built a massive wooden background ! such a surprise !

マークが大きな木のセットを作った!前と全然違ってびっくり!

his camera is way too high for everyone else

マーク用のカメラの高さが他の人には高すぎ

this painting behind the model in the picture below—– when my dad just met mark, mark told him to make loads of clothes, but he suddenly missed painting. and that painting is what he drew.

この下の写真のモデルの後ろにあるペインティングは、お父さんが80年代に描いたもの。マークに会った当初、マークに沢山服を作ってといわれ作っていたけど、急にペインティングが恋しくなって描いたらしい。

Patternity

A writer for a design company/blog called Patternity came into the shop today and had a chat.

They are  inspired by patterns in everyday life.

The blog has a really nice selection of images.

They also made some really cool tights.

Here is the website.

3 groups

3 countries

3 exhibitions

WHAT??

Each group sent 3 random items to the other two. Each group then deconstructed, reconstructed and customized those items into something new! The results have been photographed and will be shown in 3 exhibitions around the world!

WHO??

KITA-KORE BUILDING in Tokyo, Japan is probably the most DIY building we know. It houses 5 unique shops each famous for their own style original items and custom re-makes. Those shops are: Hayatochiri, Southpaw by Nincompoop Capacity, Garter, Dog and ilil.

DISCOUNT is an Australian Fashion brand duo based in Melbourne who’s idea of fashion stretches beyond just clothing. Definitely one to watch with M.I.A having already selected one of their creations to wear in her XXXO video.

Next “Your Body is a Temple” at new gallery this saturday 05.03.11

私の友人が 今週の土曜日(5日)に NEW GALLERY (south london) にて イベント !

Coptic Christians deface wall carvings of ancient Egyptian gods at the temple of Horus, Edfu. Designer Andre Van Pier creates a 50 foot high robot in the image of Michael Jackson. It is roaming the Nevada desert, visible from McCarran airport.

Hungarian rebels decapitate a 9.1 foot high statue of Josef Stalin. Sculptor Auguste Clesinger makes a cast of Frederic Chopin’s face and left hand. The hand displayed in the Polish museum,… Rapperswil.

Inhabitants of (now) Argentina use mineral inks to stencil negative impressions of hands onto the walls of sacred caves. A teenage girl climbs atop a statue of Mao Zedong and posed for photographs. She is arrested and reprimanded by police.

The hands and limbs of audience participants will be virtually severed from their bodies. These body parts will be digitally remoulded and projected across the gallery space, at the same time accumulating on the YBT blog. Universal Swimsuit and Felicita enact live amputations of dance music, computer generated dialogue, digital drone. The process of this performance will itself be defaced by unconnected musical and visual events.

Set times to follow.
