Emerging from the small-town of Kamloops, British Columbia, artist Aurel Schmidt has created a collection of lettered graphics for Opening Ceremony, culmanting in an 11-shirt release (one for each letter of Opening Ceremony). Each shirt references many everyday elements from donuts and bananas to bacon, lighters and cigarette butts. The graphics are printed on custom vintage t-shirts with pre-distressed qualities. A contest is currently going on via Opening Ceremony. The shirts retail for $60 USD.

In what we anticipate to be an influx of creative projects that are set to take over Berlin, the creative space MADE held their opening event just recently. The idea was conceived as a multi-medium space to offer creative personalities the opportunity work and exhibit. The opening night included a Snowglobe Project by Alex Flach (photographer) and Yoske Nishiumi (sneaker engineer). The installation had the theme of combining personal interaction with the piece of art as people stepped in and became part of the installation.

In a collaboration of a different approach, visvim and creative Young Kim (also known as Suitman) create a film titled “A Cycle of Craftsmanship”. visvim’s penchant for quality and story-telling are no secret as this film focuses on a Kyo-Ningyo (Kyoto Doll) shop and its sixteen generation history. The 400 year-old store owner had begun to face some difficult times. Upholding quality, craftsmanship,a dwindling demand for Kyo-Ningyo had culminated into difficulty running a retail space while maintaining the same level of commitment. Eventually the store owner’s decision to close his store had a profound and introspective effect on visvim founder Hiroki Nakamura which led to the creation of this film. The multi-region DVD is available at F.I.L. stores across Japan and Asia.
