Our Exquisite Corpse Skulls by Catherine Martin

2012-01-13T15:08:00.000+02:00

Our Exquisite Corpse worked with the Huichol people of Mexico to create these beaded skulls. Each beautifully patterned and brightly coloured skull features intricate craftsmanship and are uniquely different from one another.

The Huichol people believe in the power of the Sun God, ancestor spirits and the four principle deities - Deer, Corn, Peyote and the Eagle. They live in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Western Mexico and habe a long history of creating beaded art. These unique beaded skulls are not only part of a limited collection, but remain a treasured piece of Huichol culture.

The prototype of this festival, which opened its doors on 25 November in Belgium and will run until 15 January, has already started to attract fans of heroes of Disney around the world.

Over 300,000 kg 400 tons of ice and snow were used by sculptors to build impressive heroes of Walt Disney, which decorate the "Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival". The result is impressive!

Chanel Couture Moments

2011-11-16T18:19:00.001+02:00

Recreating the famous Place Vendome, Karl Lagerfeld presented one of the most spectacular Couture collections in the history of Chanel. On a sparkling asphalt and in nocturnal atmosphere, the models walked wearing tulle masks and boots like seamed stockings, showing the various features of the new allure. Androgynous lines, rounded-shoulder jackets, peplum skirts, backless dresses and blouses and three-piece suits were the basic silhouettes of the collection. The variety of materials was precious: mixed-yarn tweeds, silk crepe, organza, satin, tulle and lace with rich embroidery, adorned with pearls, feathers or jewelled buttons. The colour palette was kept mostly in dark colours as black, anthracite, purple and navy with shocks of white and fuschia pink.

Enjoy a few close-ups of the collection and a beautiful behind-the-scenes short film:

Studio Job & the Groninger Museum

2011-11-03T18:40:00.000+02:00

The Groninger Museum presents the exhibition entitled Studio Job & the Groninger Museum. The exhibition displays the world-famous designs of Studio Job, which consists of Job Smeets (1970) and Nynke Tynagel (1977). In the past ten years, the Groninger Museum has accumulated a substantial collection of work by Studio Job. Important series such as Homework (2006-2007) and Robber Baron (2007) illustrate Studio Job’s virtuoso handling of extraordinary materials and extreme techniques. But the archetypical and monumental objects show, above all, an expressive engagement at the interface of art and design.
Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel both graduated from the Design Academy in Eindhoven. In 1998, Smeets founded Studio Job and two years later, after her graduation, Tynagel joined him in the enterprise. The duo became known for their caricatural and non-scaled designs, such as Curved Cabinet (1999) and Craft (2001), by means of which they gave commentary on widely held ideas within the world of design.
In the past few years, Studio Job has worked with various partners, including Royal Tichelaar Makkum, Moooi, Swarovski, Bisazza and Venini. Furthermore, Smeets and Tynagel have presented their work in leading galleries all over the world and many private and public collections now contain examples of this work. The Groninger Museum has been following Studio Job closely since 2001, and currently possesses the largest collection of their products. In December 2010, as a component of the building revitalization that has just been completed, the Museum opened a new reception area conceived by the designers: the Job Lounge.
The solo exhibition is the result of a unique relationship between the designers and the Museum, where the Museum occasionally assumed the role of sparring partner as well as that of co-producer. The exhibition shows the exceptional interaction and most important artistic developments of Studio Job. The key works, determinative series, and the products of major co-operative ventures with external partners illustrate the versatility and conceptual stratification of the work of Studio Job. Thanks to the presentation of a large and important section of the oeuvre, the mutual connections within the body of work and their artistic significance are brought to the forefront. Sources:
