Smurfs

Something to lighten up, let's watch an episode of Smurfs via YouTube.

The state of contemporary civilisation

This is a sample of the "new" democracy of Iraq that the Texan politician George W. Bush has worked a lot for it. Is Texas slightly more civilised or not?

The official trailer of Inland Empire

The long-awaited film by David Lynch looks quite promising. This is the official trailer.

Jehova's witness imagery

My only connection to religions is their rich imagery. Ironically these days I found a Watchtower magazine in an airport lounge.

Apolis

The drawings of Eleni Kamma

Apolis is a show that has just finished at the Hellenic-American Union space in Athens . It is curated by artist Kostis Velonis. The theme is about citiless "situations" and exiled artistic practises- which I am very identified with. Among from the works of Nikos Alexiou (upcoming Venice Biennial Greek participation), Andreas Angelidakis, Dimitris Foutris, Alexis Akrithakis, I want to include some drawings of Eleni Kamma which I wanted to write from long time now. Her drawings are inspired by architectural plans, children's books and decorative tapestry composed by baroque structures.

Jeff, Olympia and myself

Yesterday night I went to Deste Foundation to check the small concert in the lobby area of the foundation. It was part of the Anathena show with Lo-Fi and Fantastikoi Hxoi on the decks. I had the chance finally to take some videos of the show. After Deste we went to 2 magazine parties downtown Athens. One is called Mother and the other is Velvet.

Do you remember "R e m e m b e r "?

Love This Logo

I should not stick so much in the eighties but I cannot leave unmentioned about my 2006 fashion store re-discovery. In the Athens of the 80's punks and rock fans used to buy their clothes from Remember. I still remember my mom's nod of disapproval when I bought my first Cure pins in the summer of 1989. Remember still operates in Plaka with the most outstanding leftovers from this era. Almost a year ago I was walking in Plaka and I was very happy to discover that I could find shoes and clothes from the upcoming Dior Homme, Balenciaga, Bernard Wilhelm and Rick Owens catwalks but 20 times cheaper and more original. The hyper-social owner Dimitris Tsouanatos is really the athenian encyclopedia of the 80's so if you still think that Athens sucks on shopping, Remember to visit Remember!

Great Commercials from the 80's

General Idea

Just found this video about General Idea's show at Kunsthalle Zurich. General Idea was a collective of three Canadian artists, Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson, who were active from 1969 to 1994. Pioneers of conceptual and media-based art in Canada. Both Partz and Zontal died of AIDS in 1994. Bronson continues to work and exhibit as an independent artist, and has placed General Idea's archive at the Library of the National Gallery of Canada.

A celebrity without a face

Mr Ass with Choe Sevigny

with Boy George

Mr Ass is the latest cool night-life persona in the Big Apple. He usually wears nothing on the ass area and he usually "hosts" on his tender buttocks the eternal night life New Yorkers, thus Amanda Lepore and Boy George to Chloe Sevigny and Sophia Lamar. All this is documented endlessly in an blog here.
