futuristic traditionalism
Summer in the north hemisfere is over (and thank God we are not in the age that has to go back to school) .Good news are those crazy, amorphous knitwear, that can keep you warm and stylish during the cold days to come. Futuristic in form, traditional in paterns and designed by Kevin Kramp, a young designer born in Minnesota and based in London.

Walking on the Wall
This is a re-enactment of a performance that was made in order to challenge the limits of the space and the body. What would happen if we alter one factor from a daily mundane activity like walking? Would walking be perceived the same if we bring the floor on the wall? Trisha Brown’s dance “Walking on the Wall” (1971) is performed daily in Barbican gallery as part of the Laurie Anderson, Trisha Brown, Gordon Matta-Clark: Pioneers of the Downtown Scene, New York 1970s exhibition that ends today.
For more information watch The Guardian’s audio slideshow about the three gravity-defying and ground-breaking dance pieces taking place in the exhibition here and the BBC News video about New York 1970s downtown scene recreated here
Mythology
These lovely creatures are moulded by the imagination of Rachel Freire, who characterises herself as an artist in wolf’s clothing . Her work combines art, fashion, installations and I think is best described by the artist who says:
‘My aim is to create worlds which don’t yet exist. Juxtapose things which do not make sense until you cannot deny that they mesh, play with disgust and the terms on which you are willing to see things. You cannot deny something is beautiful even when you look closely and then see something which freaks you out. Go with your gut.[…] Most of our lives these days is a fantasy world, hiding from one reality or another. So why not dress for the party?’
Interestingly put, right?

Bad Things That Could Happen
Bad Things That Could Happen is a great, funny, smart and witty film work of THIS IS IT a collective of illustrators, animators, artists and designers based in London. It is a self explanatory film that plays with scale and creates a subverted world where the mundane becomes absurd. The film was presented in Jaguar shoes in Shoreditch where the exhibition space was used to support the film, and give an insight into the process of making it. Personally, it totally makes my mood; I mean who can stay unemotional at the sight of a microbe party?
Anarchy is Ordinary
This refusal to accept authority
And its surface affectation
Looks to me very like conformity
Just with mock determination
Conformity seems ok to me
It’s the rebel who’s tired and wan
It’s pleasant in my conservatory
Nibbling my butter croissant
Performed by Kate Hawkins at The Horse-Shoe Tavern, London, 2007 . Hawkins proposes that ‘opposition has come to exist merely for its own sake; leached of meaning it has become alarmingly habitual, failing to confront or shock.’ Her performance asks important questions about how opposition can continue to function when traditional forms of rebellion have been homogenised and dissent is spoken of as though devoid of historical context, or when there is an increasing tendency to believe that anarchy, is hip and contemporary. Good for asking Kate!
GIN
A little old woman,
her living she got
by selling hot codlins,
hot, hot, hot.
And this little old woman,
who codlins sold,
tho’ her codlins were hot,
she felt herself cold.
So to keep herself warm,
she thought it no sin
to fetch for herself
a quartern of ……..
The most famous performing song of celebrated English clown Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837) where the audience would shout Gin, and Grimaldi would fix them with a stare and say Oh! For shame!
Since 1946 and to this day, on every first Sunday in February, a special memorial service is held for Grimaldi at the Holy Trinity Church in Dalston in London . These are pictures of clowns from all over the world attending the 65th annual Joseph Grimaldi service to his honour.
