LIGHT INSTALLATIONS

Posted by Leigh

EASY! Another little gem sent to me by my friend Mr Le Fou, these videos show some really nicely executed prejetion work. I posted a video in August last year (http://www.not-ready.co.uk/blog/?p=1365) on a similar tip but these videos work on a smaller, more usable scale. Check them out…

THE ‘MAGIC WALLS’ AT THE BILL BOWERMAN CENTER

Posted by Leigh

Very nice bit of work in Basement carpark entrance design, Nike European Headquarters, Hilversum, the Netherlands. ‘MATTE’ are responsible for this as they are for some very nice, very graphical, apparel designs for Nike womans wear. Have a look and see what you think.

PECKHAM AUDIO CLUB

Posted by Leigh

This has seriously got me excited. I mhaven’t been to a proper Warehouse party in ages and this looks like a winner! It’s 5 minutes from my house, which is a good start, and it looks like it’s gonna be an all night Techno banger. They don’t give much away on the on the website, but if you sign up, the send you an invite and bang, you’re in! Exciting stuff south of the river. The next Franks me thinks… the saga continues.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT – NAMALEE & WAH NAIL BAR

Posted by Leigh

Picture 11

Friday after work I jumped on the boat from Gotham City (Canary Wharf) straight after work and headed into Shoreditch to meet the missus. The Princess of Wales was spinning some records at the WAH nail bar launch and I was going to show some support. As per with the lady, we slightly sidetracked on the way, bumping into people we know and ending up at the launch party Reebok were putting on for Namalee, who has recently designed a new shoe based on wonder woman’s sandals. I was expecting a good show seeing as the one and only Jenny Scott had done something very similar a couple of years back with CLAW MONEY and  NIKE, which was ace, but this really was a disappointment. Firstly I wasn’t overly impressed with the shoes and secondly they could have done more with the installation. But hey, I don’t really care anyway. So, after a brief stop to pick up a friend we were off to Kingsland Road…

I wasn’t sure what to expect of the WAH nails launch party and on arrival was even more confused. It was quiet early doors, with the usual East heads turning up in drips and drabs whilst the ladies were getting their nails done and the music was warming up. Unfortunately, that was the recipe for rest of the evening. The shop got busier, the music got louder adn we all went home. A new chapter in the WAH story began. So here are some pics, enjoy.

Thursday night I popped down to Lambs Conduit Street to see a little private view of the talented Mr Danny Sangra. I have to admit I was impressed with the work and the vibe was very good also. I love Lambs Conduit street anyway, so it was nice to spend some time there doing somehting inspiring. Here are a few pics of the work and the people I was with.
