Over the past 30 years, Christian Marclay has explored the fusion of fine art and audio cultures, transforming sounds and music into a visible, physical form through performance, collage, sculpture, installation, photography and video. His works simultaneously take the viewer’s mind and senses in multiple directions creating an exhilarating and unexpected artistic experience.
The luxury brand, Comme des Garcons founded by Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo is a fashion house THAT takes pride in consistently going against the grain. It’s been around since 1973, but every new collection they unveil remains on the cutting edge of avant-garde style and fashion experimentation. A single Comme des Garcons shirt could feature separate panels of stripes, polka dots and even photograph prints – and somehow it all works. The line is also known for its organic pop-up shops and out-the-box collaborations with fringe visual artists and design houses. It’s this willingness to try new things and “mix & meld” that keeps CdG clothes forever fresh and new.
Gregg Michael better known as Girl Talk is the leader of the pack when it comes to sonic mash-ups. Who else can mix-up Ace of Bass, Kanye West and Radiohead to make party goers want to dance till they drop dead from exhaustion? His alias “Girl Talk” as he himself states is a “reference to different products, magazines, books etc – it’s a reference to pop-culture” – and this is the exact feeling you get when listening to any of his records. Pick up his latest album “Feed the Animals” released last year on Illegal Arts records to hear this madcap, mixing genius at work.
