swiss designer philppe cramer had released a new series of jewelry designs inspired by sea creatures and
the natural growth patterns of crystals. the 'sea beauty' series uses creatures and other organic structure
found in the sea as a source of inspiration. jellyfish, corals and octopus form the main subjects, each
executed in gold and silver finishes. in the 'virtual crystal' collection, cramer used computer generated
algorithms to simulate the natural growth of crystals. using these forms he developed a series of rings
that pay homage to the crystalline formations found in the alps.

NEW KIDS


Delphic, the young trio of Rick Boardman, Matt Cocksedge and James Cook make music on laptops in their Manchester flat, blending the aspects of electronic outfits with the soft rave-cum-band vocals of Klaxons. Whilst having played Creamfields and for Annie Mac they also fit right into Reading Festival or the supporting bill for Doves and Super Furry Animals. “It’s not rave,“ claims Rick, “There may be references to 90s dance music but we also love Bjork, Radiohead, Kraftwerk and, at the other end of the spectrum Xenomania.” Once their debut single was released on Belgium’s classic 90s techno label R&S Records home to Aphex Twin and Derrick May, Ewan Pearson heard the band and subsequently took over studio duties for the album. Wholly involved with their music and to take more control of it, the album will also be appearing on their own Chimeric label through Polydor, whilst they will also making their own artwork and even filming their TV adverts.

Slow Poison - The Bravery



Fascinated with space odyssey, human existence, and extraterrestial life? Step into a vortex of the unknown, where Laser Rays and psychonauts traverse through a new wave time warp. In Bravery’s latest single “Slow Poison,” Buck produces a mind altering, cathartic experience where the cosmos and the infintite offer solace. At best, the song fuels peace through its ’80s soft wave ballads that harness a “Breakfast Club-esque” quality. While, the music mingles with past, the video is innovative and radical. Peep for yourself.

design team will be responsible for the HUGO BOSS trend brand HUGO.

Thanks to Pieters' support as an external consultant, a focused fashion statement and fine-tuned communications, over the past two years HUGO has positioned itself as a unique design brand posting market success as an innovative, stylistically sophisticated collection.
Over the past few months, the HUGO design team has been reinforced with
fresh young talents who will maintain the brand's fashionably edgy look while
sustaining its successful evolution.

GOLDFRAPP "HEAD FIRST" - NEW ALBUM





Genre-smashing musical pioneers Goldfrapp announce their brand new album ‘Head First’ to be released through Mute on 22nd March 2010. This will be preceded by the fantastic new single ‘Rocket’ on 8th March.
Head First’ is Goldfrapp's most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance. With life affirming lyrics and stellar production it lifts off at full tilt and takes us on a journey to the heart of 2010.

The duo’s fifth album, ‘Head First’ is written and produced by band mates Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory and was recorded throughout 2009 in Bath and in London. Fizzy with inspiration, the brand new single ‘Rocket’ is a goose-bump brilliant tune destined to float out of radios across the land.
The diversity, ambition and direction of the new album highlights Goldfrapp as true agenda-setters and modern British musical icons. ‘Head First’ follows the critically acclaimed ‘Seventh Tree’, which saw the NME describe Goldfrapp as ‘having done the seemingly impossible and become even more fantasy fabulous’ and as ‘sublime, anthemic pop’ by The Independent. ‘Head First’ is the latest in a brilliantly consistent body of work - from the captivating electronic balladry of Mercury nominated debut ‘Felt Mountain’ and its distorted-dancefloor follow-up, ‘Black Cherry’ to the glitterball glamour of  ‘Supernature’ which came out in summer 2005 and went on to sell over a million copies worldwide.
Goldfrapp will take ‘Head First’ on tour later in 2010 - following the massive acclamation for both the Supernature and Seventh Tree tours and festival appearances around the world, Goldfrapp have underlined their reputation as one of the most transcendent and inventive live bands around.



SNOOP DOG "MALICE N WONDERLAND"

Multi-platinum hip hop icon Snoop Dogg is readying the release of his tenth studio album, "Malice N Wonderland," due out on December 8th, courtesy of EMI's newly re-launched Priority Records, where he also serves as Creative Chairman.



Fans can log on to Snoop's MySpace page (www.myspace.com/snoopdogg) to exclusively hear the album in its entirety.

As a follow up to the first single, "Gangsta Luv," featuring The Dream, Snoop chose "I Wanna Rock" - a clever re-working of the classic Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's "It Takes Two" produced by Scoop Deville. The bouncy and infectious song is sure to lend itself to the latest "jerk movement" craze. Just released to mixshow last week, the song has gotten a tremendous amount of support and is generating a huge buzz. The accompanying video, directed by Eric Peyton, features guest appearances by Jamie Foxx and showcases incredible dance sequences from MTV's 2009 America's Best Dance Crew winners, Quest Crew, Power Rangers and the Snoopettes.


Watch the clip on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6c2PI1Zo_M


The forthcoming album title provides interesting results as the intersection of "malice" and "wonder" combines for an exciting listen. "When I started to put together this record I had a lot of malice in my heart-just focusing on making hardcore gangsta music," explains Snoop. "But then my mood lightened and I wanted to make some music that just felt good…to me and to the ladies." Producers who collaborated on "Malice N Wonderland" include hitmakers Teddy Riley, Pharrell, Lil Jon, among others along with guest appearances by artists such as R Kelly, Brandy, Jazmine Sullivan and Soulja Boy.

DEMANDEZ LE PROGRAMME !



Le Wiels est un laboratoire international pour la création et la diffusion de l’art contemporain. Axé sur les arts visuels, mais accordant une place et une attention particulières aux croisements et interactions avec d’autres disciplines, le centre désire présenter l’art contemporain dans toute sa diversité et mettre le public en contact et en dialogue permanents avec les développements et débats les plus récents du monde de l’art.

Organisé sous forme d’asbl, le Wiels n’est ni un musée, ni une « Kunsthalle » ou encore un palais des beaux-arts, mais bien une institution qui intègre, dans un même lieu, les fonctions de présentation, de production et d’éducation. Le centre développe donc un ensemble d’activités temporaires sans constituer de collection, et ce au sein d’un contexte dynamique et ouvert :

• Plusieurs expositions annuelles de grande envergure (expositions monographiques d’artistes nationaux et internationaux, expositions de groupe, thématiques ou encore partant du point de vue d’un commissaire invité…) qui suivent de près les évolutions de la création contemporaine. L’accent est mis sur l’information, l’analyse et le partage afin de participer à la diffusion et à la compréhension de l’art contemporain.

• Un programme international de résidences d’artistes qui se concentre sur l’innovation, la recherche, la création et le développement, et qui permette des liaisons entre les acteurs locaux et internationaux.

• Un travail de médiation, de sensibilisation et de formation développé au moyen d’ateliers didactiques, de projets pédagogiques et de séminaires de formation pour la jeunesse, les seniors, les écoles, le quartier

L’ensemble du programme, sans cesse dynamisé par une série d’activités parallèles (conférences, débats, workshops, échanges socio-culturels, confrontations transdisciplinaires…) fait du Wiels un centre innovant et expérimental.

Au coeur de l'Europe, le Wiels, de par sa dimension internationale, ses objectifs spécifiques ainsi que l’architecture remarquable du bâtiment qui l'abrite, constitue une institution d’art contemporain européenne unique.



LE programme du mois de decembre se trouve ici

SONIA RYKIEL POUR H&M'S UNFORGETTABLE PARIS PARTY


Kate Bosworth, Eva Herzigova and Nadja Auermann partied together with fashionistas in a magical world in Paris last night to celebrate the launch of Sonia Rykiel pour H&M. The Grand Palais, one of the city’s most famous buildings, was transformed into a Parisian fantasy land for around 2,000 guests. Among them were stars such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Ellen von Unwerth and Emanuelle Béart, who walked through an enchanted forest before arriving at a recreation of Saint Germain, the spiritual home of Sonia Rykiel. Then, seated under a specially made Eiffel Tower, guests were given a preview of the Sonia Rykiel pour H&M lingerie collection, which debuts in around 1,500 H&M stores worldwide from December 5, as well as the knitwear collection for women and girls, which arrives in around 200 stores on February 20, 2010.

FRIDA Y SU MONDO


Frida Kahlo painting the portrait of her father, 1951 - Photograph : Gisèle Freund © Banco de México. Fideicomiso Museos Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo



Frida Kahlo - La columna rota (The Broken Column), 1944 - Oil on masonite, 39.8 x 30.5 cm -
© Collection Museo Dolores Olmedo, Xochimilco, México

Portrait des portraits du Mexique, Frida Kahlo darde son regard troublant à travers le fonds du Museo Olmedo, la plus grande collection (privée) des oeuvres de l’artiste. Dix-neuf toiles, une eau-forte, six dessins et de nombreuses photographies témoignent de sa contribution magistrale aux mouvements symboliste et surréaliste. D’une vie aussi, d’emblée mise à rude épreuve. Victime à 17 ans d’un dramatique accident d’autobus, sa vie n’aura été qu’une suite d’interventions chirurgicales à une époque où la médecine tâtonnait. Plusieurs fausses couches et sa vie conjugale tumultueuse avec Diego Rivera, peintre majeur de la révolution, impriment à ses oeuvres une puissance et une beauté singulières. Entre élan de vie et pulsion de mort, rencontrez la vraie Frida.

Het Mexicaanse (zelf)portret bij uitstek. Frida Kahlo kijkt met getroubleerde blik het Museo Olmedo in, de meest omvangrijke (privé)collectie van haar oeuvre. Negentien schilderijen, een ets, zes tekeningen en een groot aantal foto’s geven een haarscherp beeld van Frida Kahlo’s verbluffende bijdrage aan symbolisme en surrealisme. Maar ook van haar door rampspoed geteisterde leven: Kahlo werd op haar 17de slachtoffer van een busongeval en verzeilde van de ene wankele operatietafel op de andere. Miskramen en een turbulent huwelijksleven met Diego Riviera, schilderchroniqueur van de revolutie laden haar werk op met een aparte kracht en schoonheid. Geprangd tussen levensdrift en de schaduw van de dood: maak kennis met de echte Frida.

The ultimate Mexican (self-)portrait, Frida Kahlo’s disconcerting gaze stares out from the Museo Olmedo collection, the world’s largest (private) collection of her work. 19 paintings, an etching, six drawings, and a number of photographs bear witness to her brilliant contribution to the symbolist and surrealist movements. And to her life, a hard one from the outset. A tragic bus accident at just 17 led to a series of operations throughout her life, at a time when medicine was just feeling its way. Several miscarriages and a turbulent married life with Diego Rivera, the great painter of the Revolution, contributed to her works’ power and extraordinary beauty. Meet the real Frida, with her lust and struggle for life.

J’ai tué ma mère ...



Genres d’à Côté
est très heureux de présenter le film de ce jeune cinéaste Xavier DOLAN prometteur lors d’une séance exceptionnelle dont les recettes seront reversées au profit de Swim 4 Life pour la lutte contre le SIDA.



Hubert n’aime pas sa mère. Du haut de ses 17 ans, il la juge avec mépris, ne voit que ses fringues ringardes, sa décoration kitsch et les miettes de pain qui se logent à la commissure de ses lèvres quand elle mange bruyamment. Au-delà des irritantes surfaces, il y a aussi la manipulation et la culpabilisation, mécanismes chers à sa génitrice. Confus par cette relation chaotique qui l’obsède, Hubert se cherche dans les méandres d’une adolescence à la fois marginale et typique : découvertes artistiques, amitié, ostracisme, sexe - rongé par la hargne qu’il éprouve à l’égard d’une femme qu’il aimait pourtant jadis. Elle même ne sait pas absolument pas comment s’y prendre avec son fils.

Le premier film de Xavier Dolan, Québécois de 20 ans à peine et sensation du dernier festival de Cannes, fait l’effet d’un coup de poing, tant au niveau de la forme (des scènes superbement dialoguées, des références pop et cinématographique) que celui du contenu (une relation amour-haine analysée et disséquée jusqu’à l’épuisement). Et le film est merveilleusement servi par l’interprétation de ses acteurs, Anne Dorval ("Le Cœur a ses raisons") et Xavier Dolan en tête.
