80 + ARTISTS 100 + HOURS
This Friday I went to Kerry Ryan’s curated 80 + ARTISTS 100 + HOURS exhibition where 80 artists/designers were exhibiting 95 pieces. Among them were two very good friends – Morag Myerscough with her scribble neon saying Cunts and Luke Morgan with his typographic skull – Not Collin. Of course they were the best! But alongside of them I really liked: Tracey Emin’s – I woke up wanting to kiss you neon, Polly Morgan’s – Receiver, Marcus Mitchell’s – Dead Tit, Douglas Gordon’sneon saying – I’m a designer of my own catastrophy, Franko B – Boy, Dean Whatmuff’s – Ace of Spades.
Ohh… and that burlesque dancer… I liked her as well!

Urban Dolls // Concept
It is getting more and more difficult to define a concept of contemporary beauty. In urban society, where the hunt for perfection begins at an early age and modified ‘plastic beauties’ wave from the covers of glossy magazines, humanity’s struggle for perfection appears almost limitless.
This project is an explorative journey in search of alternatives that could replace plastic or aesthetic surgery. Design becomes a mediator between humans and existing body modification processes; static, permanent procedures are transformed into flexible, temporary prosthetics.
