The Antics Roadshow Produced by Banksy
With the current riots in the UK right now. Why does it now surprise me that Banksy is airing an hour-long special ‘The Antics Roadshow’ August 13th on Channel 4. For all those OS you can see it broadcast on 4oD. Contributors include Michael Fagan talking about breaking into the Queen’s bedroom: ‘I looked into her eyes, they were dark’; and Noel Godin, who pioneered attacking celebrities with custard pies: ‘Instead of a bullet I give them a cake’. The program will also include the first interview with the man responsible for the absurd turfhead Winston Chruchill stunt.

Jay-Z & Kanye West: Otis
For me personally Jay-Z and Kanye’s new album ‘Watch The Throne’ lived up to all the hype. I love an album I can continue to listen to and appreciate more and more of the songs each time. Spike Jonez was called in to direct the first film clip off the new album. Only these two dudes could chop up a Maybach and turn it into a Mad Max style ride.

Street Dreams
When I was a teenager, I lived and breathed Skateboarding. ‘Study time’ after school for me was spent skateboarding on the front driveway and every weekend. Especially Friday nights were some of the most memorable times for me meeting up with all my skater buddies in the city to explore the city terrain like a pack of rats. Sometimes we’d have a crew 30 of us take over the streets bombing hills and weaving in and out of traffic. It was the natural high it gave me and the fact it didn’t matter if you were a private school or public school kid, 9 to 5 paper pusher or living off government hand outs. We all shared a love for skateboarding and it taught us all a lot about appreciating different cultures.
I stupidly gave up skateboarding after I finished school and only continued to surf on the weekends, but after moving to Hong Kong I don’t have the luxury of beaches on my doorstep anymore so a friend has motivated me to get back into skateboarding as a form of exercise and to re-channel that love of the sport and help it inspire my creative work. I obviously no where near as good as I was before (which is so frustrating) but I’m loving it and it’s a great way to explore a new city. On the way home from this session I bumped into a few of the local boys – Francis and Paul. Who run some of HK’s top clubs and bars Fly, Volar.

Yong Ho Ji ‘Mutant Mythos’ Sculptures
Korean artist, Yong Ho Ji is by far one of my favourite sculptural artists around. The life-sized tyre sculptures are the artist’s way of reminding people of their responsibility to nature. The impressive detail of muscle form looks intimidating, are actually held up by steel, wood and styrofoam, and the collection has been exhibited at Gana Art in New York and around the world. Yong Ho Ji’s sculptures are classified according to herbivores, carnivores and omnivores, and are comprised of animal or animal and part human.

The Barcode House
This house was designed by David Jameson Architect and is inspired by barcodes. Great space and I love that they could incorporate a little rooftop terrace.

ZEVS Solo Exhibition @ Art Statements Tokyo
ZEVS’ first solo exhibition in Tokyo at Art Statements will be held in two floors and will develop two distinctive themes. For ZEVS, liquidating logos (chosen amongst the most powerful brands, leaders of their consumption fields: sport, food, fashion, etc.) was never a frontal attack on their power or against consumerism. The persuasion power that these brands hold is what fascinates ZEVS. His centers of analysis have therefore always been Humans and their ongoing confrontation with temptations – seduction acts from brands – in the city, in public spaces, and against which they fight….or not.
This exhibition opens on September 2, 2011, running through the end of the month.

1-2-1 w/jeffstaple feat. Neck Face from jeffstaple on Vimeo.
As usual Neck Face maintains his secrecy by covering his face with a mask. It’s an interesting interview to hear about his childhood and his views on schools and education system.

I don’t know too much about this photo shoot but I love the collection, photography style and choice of model. The combination of black & white and selected pieces in colour is very effective. Astrid was photographed by Bo Brinkenfalk for Schön Magazine.

Bloomberg: Pharrell Williams and Greg Selkoe Discuss KarmaloopTV
Love what these guys are doing! Makes so much sense to take it to cable. I spend so much time watching short videos ie. interviews, documentaries, films etc. Finally someone’s going to bring a channel out that will appeal to me and a lot of my friends cultural interests. TuhiTV will soon be coming an online TV channel so stay tuned…
