Hi all This week has been inspiring to say the least, so in this post there is Star Wars (African edition), a watch that helps you slow down, and a performance artist I should have discovered years ago. Enjoy. Pierre 1. Star Wars Re-imagined in Africa3d artist Evgeny Rusolovski, drew inspiration from Africa to create this African Totem C3PO. How great? Nobody knows, was he born from sand melted with sunrays, or made an appearance where the sun have the other name. When he appeared, he gave people the chance to understand the language of birds and animals, to hear the whisper of wind and the song of the water. He brought the knowledge. 2. A Watch that helps you take your time.Hautlence (a luxury watchmaker) just released their latest 'timepiece, LABYRINTH and describe as an "entirely essential yet fundamentally useless object." Designed to make the wearer slow down and take some time out, the LABYRINTH is an old-school game, worn on the wrist like a watch. 3. Marina AbramovićI know I am way late to the party, I only got to know of her this week. She is called the grandmother of performance artists, an absolute legend she has been creating art for 4 decades. Now I never really liked performance art, it just seems so self centred, narcissistic, and just based on shock. Marina Abramovic's work however is the exact opposite, it is sacrificial, compassionate and transcend her self. Her work, The Artist is Present, was shown in MoMA in NY in 2010, where she sat silently with an empty chair opposite, gallery visitors were invited to come and sit and stare in her eyes for however long the wanted (needed?). 750 000 people came over the three month period, many were moved to tears. Watch a video of the work, and an interview regarding it. Her TED talk last year is also super inspiring. (Just some context, the man in black used to be her romantic partner and created many works with her) 1. Kenya's League of Extravagant Grannies
80 is the new 25, in case you haven't noticed. The trend for older (much older) women in fashion is moving on up. Even Tom Ford confessed 'I am tired of the cult of youth'.
In his latest project Kenyan digital artist and photographer, Osborne Macharia, tell the story of Kenya’s League of Extravagant Grannies who were once corporate and government leaders in the 1970’s but are now retired. They now live the retired high life travelling to exotic and remote areas within Africa to explore, party and enjoy in exclusivity. 2. Hello Tractor1. FitkeyIf you are anything like me, you hate doing the same thing over and over and over. So tired of going to the same gym, seeing the same naked people in the change rooms? Try Fitkey, a local (Yay SA) app, that gives you access to unlimited classes at different studios for one affordable monthly fee. Simple check on the app what class you like, book it on the app, and show up. There are 100 studios in Jozi, 71 in CT, and 19 in Pretoria (come on pretoria?!). Go give the Fitkey people some love. 2.
