berlin: gallery weekend

berlin is a place to be this weekend, with 40 openings in 40 galeries. plenty great stuff to chose from, but one def not to miss is 'to pop a boner', an expo of the fashion designer icon rick owens @ apartment. this time owens has designed furniture instead of clothes, but the result is as fab as always!

just missed: spencer sweeney

read an interview with the multi-media artist, dj, & club owner from downtown ny about his first solo @ gavin brown's enterprise. while the first part of the 'egyptian diving board' show took part in jan this year, the second part has just finished last week. damn...

aids-3d: reproduce me!

kudos to the great purple magazine crew for pointing our attention to the work of aids-3d. make sure to read more about the androgyous alien & the aids-3d joint venture of daniel keller & nik kosmas.

beyond the street: kennardphillipps

we've been lucky to grab the 'beyond the street' book the very first day it landed on the bookshelves in germany & haven't closed it since! & while some of the interviewees were already published on our blog in the past, others were a discovery to us. u must definitely (this is a direct order!!) get yr copy before it's sold out.
to give u a taste of its contents, we gonna present here daily one of the featured artists, starting with the ab fab peter kennard and cat picton-phillipps, aka kennardphillipps. enjoy!
(& no, we're not sponsored by die gestalten, neither by phillips de pury.... doesn't mean we're not open to suggestions, 'though ;-))
