Cocky Eek
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010These series of costumes were designed by Amsterdam based artist Cocky Eek. She likes to develop works in a culture of play, experimenting with diverse sets of lightweight spacial compositions, in which the control over the process and outcome are often uncertain. Eek descries her work to be a physical experience that often gives the suggestions of flying, floating, or brain-silence and likes to stretch the physical borders of human possibilities.

Vamp, Jones and Haring!
Thursday, July 1st, 2010‘ Vamp ‘ the he 80’s Horror Movie is a colorful piece for those into surreal characters, strippers bearing breast and the superhuman Grace Jones, body- painted by fascinating artist Keith Haring.
When at first I saw this movie, I could not believe my eyes. It was like entering another spectrum. It jaunted my focus on art and the sense of performance art. It was something that pushed the boundaries above and beyond it’s time and still resignates… I come back to the Haring body painting as it was so genius! And of course just to have a moment to reflect on the strength of Grace’s beauty and deliverance avec la perruque rouge (with red wig)… It takes you to a time of artistry where the boundaries were dismayed, and the expression was reverent.
