Horned Furniture - Michel Haillard

Furniture from Michel Haillard featured in this post causes mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is striking in its concept, quality of performance, its luxury eventually. On the other hand there is an idea that this furniture is from hell. To produce all this infernal furniture were used the most drastic materials starting from crocodile and ostrich skin and ending with horns and tusks of wild animals. Also it was created not without natural fur, which are covered inside cabinets and drawers. The frame and trim are made from wood, bronze and silver. By the way studio working with the material of the customer. You bring the skin of dead animals, and in return get the furniture made from it. It is part of the interior and the subject of hunting pride at the same time. Naturally, every piece is unique and the price for it is transcendental.

The Take-Away Shows - Vincent Moon

VincentMoon.com

The Take away shows are la Blogotheque’s first video podcasts.
Every week, we invite an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, and we film the whole session. Of course, what makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectingly. Besides, we do not edit the videos so they look perfectly flawless, instead we keep the raw sound of the surroundings. Our goal is to try and capture instants, film the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks. Spontaneity is the keyword.
The Take away shows exist since April 2006. There was Chryde, who wanted to shake things up and find another way to share music, and there was Vincent Moon, who wanted to film music differently. Chryde offered Moon to go and film musicians in the city, Moon seized the idea and glorified it. Since then, other directors across the world joined this project, and we plan to extend it worldwide.
The team:
Chryde - Founder, Art producer Vincent Moon - Founder, Director
Editors : Lucas Archambault / Nathanaël Le Scouarnec / Timothée Deirex
Sound : JB Aubonnet / Dominique Ciekala / François Clos
Production : Antoine Viviani / Nora Bouazzouni / Alexandre Lenot (Garrincha)
Other directors : Jeremiah (Kidam) / Nate Chan / One Shot Seattle / One Take New York / Ty (Hecho el Cine) / Val3rie

He has been living on the road since January 2009, experimenting on nomadic cinema and traveling to film rare musicians around the world. He now works alone or with people he finds on the road, and most of the time without money involved in the projects, trying to redefine the limits of cinema in the 21st century. In 2011 he will begin work on his new collection of recordings, Petites Planetes, dedicated to experimentation between images and sounds, shot around the world.

Þögli þjónninn er sígildur gamanleikur eftir Nóbelsverðlaunahafann Harold Pinter.
Í loftlausu kjallaraherbergi bíða tveir leigumorðingjar eftir næstu skipun. Þeir hafa unnið saman í fjölda ára, en í dag er eitthvað ekki eins og það á að vera. Undarlegar skipanir berast með matarlyftunni – að ofan.
Atli Þór Albertsson og Guðmundur Ólafsson fara á kostum sem þeir Ben og Gus í þessum listilega skrifaða sígilda gamanleik.

"Harold Pinter er eitt af merkustu leikskáldum Breta á síðustu öld. Hann náði að slá einstæðan persónulegan tón í samtalslist sinni og endurnýjaði um leið enskan leiksviðsprósa. Blómaskeið hans var á sjöunda og áttunda áratugnum. Langbesta verk hans er Húsvörðurinn sem er eitt af meistaraverkum tuttugustualdarleikhússins. Á síðari árum Pinters skrifaði hann æ minna fyrir sviðið en lét mikið að sér kveða sem pólitískur aktívisti. Þegar hann fékk Nóbelinn árið 2005 hafði hann löngu sungið sitt síðasta sem leikskáld. Hann var þá orðinn reiður gamall maður sem fór honum ágætlega. Hatrömm barátta hans gegn Íraksstríðinu var glæstur lokaþáttur á ferlinum. Við hefðum þurft að eiga einhvern slíkan hér heima, en það áttum við ekki."

555 KUBIK | Facade Projection - Urbanscreen

"How it would be, if a house was dreaming"




The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture - the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers "Galerie der Gegenwart". Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves - describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.


Production: urbanscreen.com

Art Direction: Daniel Rossa - rossarossa.de
Technical Director: Thorsten Bauer
3D Operator: David Starmann shineundsein.de
Sound Design : Jonas Wiese
Realized with mxwendler.net mediaserver

555 KUBIK was awarded a Silver Lion in Cannes [canneslions.com] and Silver by the

Björk Guðmundsdóttir - Hyper Ballad




we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning i walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever i find lying around

it's become a habit
a way
to start the day

i go through this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

it's real early morning
no-one is awake
i'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
i listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
i follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks

and when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?

i'll go through all this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
