ZED NELSON – LOVE ME

Posted on 2010-01-25

Love Me reflects on the cultural and commercial forces that drive a global obsession with youth and beauty. The project explores how a new form of globalization is taking place, where an increasingly narrow Western beauty ideal is being exported around the world like a crude universal brand.
Over a period of five years Zed Nelson visited seventeen countries across five continents, reflecting on a world we have created in which there are enormous social, psychological and economic rewards and penalties attached to the way we look.

Opposite – Zed Nelson, Miss Essex, Loser, Miss England Competition, Leicester, UK

HENRIK VIBSKOV GRAPHIC WORKS

Posted on 2010-01-25

Some might call Henrik Vibskov a jack-of-all-trades, and it is true that Vibskov shows his innovative fashion designs in Paris, exhibits his artwork at established institutions such as PS1, MoMA, the Palais de Tokio and MU, and makes musical collaborations with the likes of Anders Trentemøller and Mikael Simpson. However for Vibskov, these seemingly different creative realms are not separate – it is intrinsic to his philosophy that they blend together, resulting in an all-inclusive Henrik Vibskov experience.

In Henrik Vibskov: Graphic Works, Vibskov presents a selection of his two-dimensional pieces, exhibited alongside installation and knit-works. With colorful and organic shapes that seem like strange, animated beings, Vibskov’s minimalistic “form-language” and “anarchistic lines” offer a glimpse at his own imagined universe.

Opposite – Linoleum 7, 2009, Linoleum print, 30,5 x 42,5 cm

Exhibition runs through to March 20th, 2010
