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.

Tokyo Drift
I may not live in Tokyo anymore after Japan was sadly hit by a natural disaster early this year. But after relocating to Hong Kong it’s great to still be able to jump on a plane and be in Tokyo in 3.5 hours. While I was in Tokyo late last week and over the weekend I caught up with one of my best mates Ume for a few Umeshu’s and some great local food. He showed me a couple of new haunts around Azabu and a mate of his who works at the fish markets took as for a private tour around the markets riding on the back of a fork-lift. Ha! Good times!

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.
