nick cave – soundsuits



“nick cave is an artist who makes costumes for sculpture. actually, the costumes are the sculptures. he calls them “soundsuits,” because they’re loud. pitched at a decibel the eye can hear, they armor the body in dyed feathers, brilliant sequins, bugle beads and fake flowers, thatched twigs, strips of old sweaters and gaggles of pipe cleaners. they may have tall chairs or wicker baskets for heads. there’s no way to know if they’re male or female, or of what race or class, but they’re too dazzling for anyone to care.”

not the nick cave you think about, though it’s music related since those amazing costumes are featured in alvin ailey shows. mr. cave himself a former dancer for ailey, now turned artist knows what he’s talking about when it comes to dance. now on show at mary boon read more here by pp’

boyce & brown: a universe of possibilities


with tatiana cotliar (next). nice clip by ex creative director harrison boyce & director nathaniel brown. you may recall our posts on a similar style of work about a year or so ago, now you can add this to one the mix. with film becoming such an approachable medium and available to so many different disciplines, we are excited about the experimentation and possibilities it holds. something less literal and more poetic awaits us all. by dd

our good friends, the vanguard designers of threeasfour did what they always do best. create a show that will at least draw your attention to something worthy, something beyond your selfish extravagances. something that is effecting us all. the show was about one such region: the middle east. some have accepted violence and rancor as the inevitable conclusion when disparate ethnic and religious groups come together. but threeasfour is living proof it’s not—among them, they represent an israeli, a lebanese, and a russian, all of different backgrounds, who have come together to create. may the next generation have more of these than ours. photo credits tamara weber. by xy

no photo – tom ford

seen on fantastic man, great!:

 

“Photographing everything and throwing every random image on Facebook is the new stalking, and a sign of bad manners, which is what provoked designer Mr. TOM FORD to hand out the card as shown above to his audience on Sunday night’s womenswear show in London. Indeed, photography should be an act of consideration, not something to do just out of total boredom. Also, one should trust one’s memory more often.”
