The Little Unhappy Drawing Factory Show

Nick Cortese was born in California in 1984, and now lives and works in New York City.
Cortese way of living art for this exhibition lies on demonstrating more open-ended statements about modernism with his drawings, than with paintings. The Modernist idea of seeing paintings needs to collect together the profusion of objects with spaces, images and forms and this attempt drives immediately to a juxtaposition of stuff and surface.
Illustration is just paintings without the respect to the idea of being honest to materials. It’s rough and this time is about unhappy drawings. In other words, “modernism may be dead, but modernism is also dad, as in, dada and mum”. Don’t miss the vernissage on saturday 16th 6/9 pm at Galerie Jeanroch Dard,13 Rue des Arquebusiers Paris.

Tales from William S. Burroughs and Dead Meat

Dead Meat is a fashion brand born in Modena in 2005. The story began as usually begins…well, the same tale except for the language an the subject. Two young guys in a brave mood decided to create a new fashion sense of style, a sort of case for poetry, design, words and literature.
Writers and artists have a big influence on the brand philosophy, especially considering the negative role that media have played on people’s eye.
Dead Meat name is inspired by the “Naked Lunch”, a novel by William S. Burroughs, written in San Francisco when the city was a very creative centre and the Beat movement was moving his first steps.
Currently Dead Meat creations are sold in Europe, Arab Emirates, Lebanon, China & Hong Kong, Japan and USA.

Chérie’s Tree House: Made With Love

When we’ve been kids, a tree house was a real or imaginary place in which we had the possibility to create a space that was only ours, a place for our ideas, fantasies and beloved objects. By growing up we forgot that place a bit. With Chérie’s Tree House we rebuild the house, providing place for unique things to discover (fashion, accessories, bikini, jewels, lamps, paintings), a place to feel good, with food, drinks and live music.
Be an inhabitant of the tree house you too – The door reopens 9th and 10th of may in 247 Showroom, via Pestalozzi 4, Milano, from 14:00 to 22:00 with terrace at the sun! Made with love!

Ricardo on Apartamento: Interiors

rfumanal_apartamento3

Apartamento is an “everyday life interiors magazine” run by Nacho Alegre and Omar Sosa between Barcelona and Milan. The third issue is out now with many new contents and pictures and 6 pages of illustrations by Ricardo Fumanal on Bless most important designs. The article is about the project of conceiving a new horizon in our spatial perspective. The new horizon would be one of interior spaces, showing through its objects and devices, furnitures that start to behave like organic creatures, rooting inside the places and becoming mimetic. Something has to do with music as well… so if you want to know more about this and you never read this magazine, go for it! E Lusso

The International Buddhist Film Festival

The International Buddhist Film Festival is coming to London to offer the United Kingdom a fresh perspective on world cinema with a Buddhist touch. It will celebrate Buddhist ideas and inspiration represented in all film, from Eastern documentaries to Hollywood blockbusters; showing more than 40 films from 18 countries including 27 UK premieres.

The special gala event to open the festival takes place on May 7th, just five days after the Buddha’s birthday.

Buddha’s birthday – on May 2nd – is the birthday of the Prince Siddhartha Gautama traditionally celebrated in East Asia on the eighth day of the fourth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. The day is an official holiday in Hong Kong, Macau, and South Korea.

The Festival takes place at the Barbican from Thursday May 7 to 17th, the first time it has visited the UK. The IBFF showcases cinema which inspires a fresh perspective on Buddhism from around the globe – including films incorporating broader Buddhist themes and ideas as well as movies made by Buddhists. The festival is bringing 27 UK premieres to London as well as an incredible selection of features, documentaries and shorts. Special strands include Profiles and Mind the Gap, and the festival looks forward to welcoming special guest speakers and filmmakers – including some well-known names.

IBFF 2009 LONDON is presented as part of The Many Faces of Buddhism – a city-wide celebration of Buddhist ideas and values through the arts. It is sponsored by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation whose new Gallery of Asian Buddhist Sculptures at the V&A opens on 29 April. A series of arts events including an International forum on Buddhism and the Arts Today and A Day of Rare Buddhist Dances will be held at the V&A in celebration of the Gallery inauguration while IBFF 2009 LONDON will take place at East London’s cultural hub The Barbican.
