L'Atlas in Berlin

I always love guerilla street art! Last week, L'Atlas performed one of his geometric design performances on Oberbaumbrucke- one of the original intersections of East and West Berlin. (See the whole series here)

L'Atlas is in Berlin for a group show, 'Kiss the City' with fellow French artists Babou, Sun7 and Tanc at Skalitzers gallery.

"NOOKANOOKA" Design Gallery

 

(Pictured: UNDRCRWN NookaNooka)

Last night 16 world renowned artists and designers were asked to participate in the NookaNooka Gallery event.

The toy, originally created in a larger size, was intended to function as a watch display for retailers. But when Nooka creative director/founder Matthew Waldman noticed how popular these models were becoming- he reworked them as a smaller figurine. 

Each figurine was then given to the participating designers to apply his/her own special touch. When UNDRCRWN ("The Brand For Champions") received the call to participate, we were honored! The designs on display were really wonderful. Each artist provided something unique, clever and provocative for their customized piece. Some chopped theirs apart, while others used materials like wax, metal and thread to customize their designs. Check out the images below! Which is your favorite?  I love the wooden design (and inspiration) by Zarigani Works  (below). 

 ps: Big props to Dustin for putting his design together in under 48 hours notice! They don't call him creative director for nothin' ...

(Red) Gallery

The ever-rotating pop-up space next to Gap's Fifth Avenue flagship is again reinventing itself. The newly emptied space is now transforming itself into a gallery with the artworks from Gap's Product (Red) designers.

The Product (Red) Gallery opens this Saturday, July 25 and will last through August 10. The art is being displayed alongside the artist's tees for Gap, which retail for $28, 50 percent of the profits support the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
