Watercolours & Jimmy D.

Last night i had the pleasure of seing a show by WATERCOLOURS here in Auckland. 
The Band celebrated the release of their new Video PAZZIDA.






I was expecting some local sweet girl with a guitar playing something like a "Wonderwall" cover or so.
To my delight it was the opposite.

Chelsie, the lead singer, was simple amazing to watch. 


All Band members dressed in white. She was wearing a silk dupion Kimono jacket. 
Innocent white flowers decorated on instruments and interior with light installations gave the hole venue this "holy/untouchable" ora.






Did i tell you about my great hosts here in Auckland? For one there would be the designer Jimmy D. and his Boyfriend Chris.
Both of them are sooo much fun to be around with - and! - they always know the best places to go get dinner or breakfast haha which is really good to know here. And i love going out for dinner/lunch/whatever.





James also owns a boutique called CHILDREN OF VISION
Great puristic shop on K-road.
Selling local new zealand designers like Deadly Ponies and his own Brand Jimmy D.  but also european Designs s.a. Bernhard Willhelm.



His Atelier is right around the corner from the Shop.
Sharing it with the New Zealand fashion-label Maaike


It's really great to see such potential for fashion and Art here in Auckland! I really was not expecting that for whatever reason. European naivness :P
After strolling about in town i went to visit Chris at his PR Office "CIEL PR" but that is another post ;)

Jason Fox

Jason Fox’s first solo show was held at Feature in New York in the early nineties, just after MoMA’s  High and Low: Modern Art and Popular Culture    (the first major exhibition to address “the relationship between modern art and popular and commercial culture.”)  And only two years before Mike Kelley organized  The Uncanny  at the Gemeentemuseum , Arnhem.  Fox’s work itself acts as a link between these events, and they in turn allow us to chronologically situate his acts of borrowing from both art history and from record sleeves of the seventies.  Although considered as common practice today, this kind of artistic approach was not so widespread at the time.   
 In a recent interview with artist Joe Bradley, Fox explicits his position:  “ The early nineties was another death-of-painting period and to be making expressive paintings that had nothing to do with appropriation was going against the tide. Fro...
