Miso – Tchusse
{Stanislava Pinchuk}

Opening Night: Thursday, 3rd December {6-9 pm}
Gorker Gallery – crnr Gore & Kerr Streets, Melbourne.

“‘Tchusse’ sees Miso re-create & condense her home city into a gallery.
Kharkov {Ukraine} becomes a floor to ceiling installation – portraits of
strangers in the street, of friends, folk stories and things otherwise
forgotten, turned into a city built from paper, material and decaying wood,
as Miso replicates buildings, street signs and notices, ladders, empty
bottles, criminal tattoos and clothesline and clothesline from memory.
In this way, Tchusse becomes an extension if Miso’s widely renowned
work as a street artist, as well as being her most ambitious installation &
gallery project yet.”

Miso will be doing an artists talk on the wine tasting evening – Wednesday,
16th of December, at 6 pm. ‘Tchusse’ will also be the launch of a
collaborative clothing project with Warren Harrison.

The exhibition will run until 20th December;
3-7 pm Wednesday-Friday // 11am – 7pm Saturday-Sunday.

Harry Clarke (1889–1931) was a book illustrator during the “golden age” of book illustrations, heavily influences by Art Nouveau, Clark is an important contributing artist to the visual dialogue that contemporary artists such as Yoshitaka Amano continue to this day. Here are some illustrations for a 1928 publication of Poe’s “Tales of Mystery and Imagination”.

Good looking Rone.

Caught this dude repping the Nice X KRink T are the KR signing in Aoyama last week. According to some of the people i spoke to these T’s are pretty collectible. Instead of getting them off Ebay we’ve still got 1 small white left on the nice store and one size break in black, only aus$60. Then that’s the end of them. So Get them here.

Looking Nice.

Was in Tokyo last week for the KR x Levis project, here’s some shots.

A dope time was had.

I was lucky to catch the tail end of Julian Opie’s portrait exhibition at SCAI in Tokyo. The show featured a series of portraits, walk cycles, subtle animations and holographic prints reflecting a Rambranteque style of portraiture. The essence of which are lost in still photos but i tried my best to capture the animations, thank you Yuka for letting me go nuts with the g10 in the gallery.

Holographic portrait. the pose changes slightly from different angles. Nice effect.
Framed animated walk sequence.

Animated painting, rotoscoped birds flying in the background and occasional eye blinking.

An exhibition of Balloon as Vase, a recent project by Shun Kawakami which was on display at Jagda Tokyo gallery in Roppongi.

November break bumpers for Finlands TV Nelonen by Musata, a design company directed by Jopsu Ramu and Timo Huhtala. This piece is a collaboration with tokyo designer Shun Kawakami, calligrapher Gen Miyamura and motion graphics company EDP graphics work.

It’s always funny how small the world is.

I met Senekt at the KR x Levis launch last week, Tokyo based artist who fuses the Tokyo geometric street art stryle with his own brand of expressive abstract imagry. Check it out, it’s pretty dope.
