Creative Consumption

Artists 'Pip' and 'Pop' transform everyday objects and turn them into works of art. (This is Pip and that is Pop)

This weekend in Sydney their new show 'Under the Crystal Sky' will open..and from the image below, you can tell it's going to be sweeet! The exhibition celebrates our culture of excessive consumption, and 'encourages the consumer to welcome the event with delight!' Whether this concept intrigues you, or you simply have a hankering for sugar, pop along to the 'The Japan Foundation' to check it out. It looks excessively exciting!!!
Under the Crystal Sky will open 15 May – 3 June 2009

Wellytown

Wellington artist Miriam Silvester has taken the graphic tee to a whole new level - she's encouraging you to make it your own. Miriam wants you to colour in the beautiful line art of your favourite city, to add to your embellishments over time and re-create the t-shirt every season or even every time you wear it.

check out her website for some great ideas for individualizing Wellytown tees (and posters!!) and upload pics of your own creations.

T-shirts and Posters availabale at Rex Royale, 106 Cuba Mall, Wellington.

Still Life

ahhhh.... so I can't always think what to blog next.
What if I just take the last topic and ask myself if I could create a blog post that would fit under the same title. Unoriginal?

Vincent Bousserez isn't.
