Règles de l'art

ICAN HAREM . .. all eyes on one of Bali most renowned underground artist this week. Originally from Yogjakarta the artist works with different media such as illustration, performance, video and sound installations. Cooperations with local brands have brought Harem national and international attention and as we see it his future is bright. Combining political and sexual stigmas, setting them under a new and different perspective they become obsolete and ridiculous to the viewer. Modernism meets the "Missfits" illustration skills of the 60s and 70s in a way i have never seen it before. LIVE FOR SATAN - a performance by ICAN HAREM MB

... it was supposed to be one of the nicest and most adventurous weekends i had in Bali so far when my friend Nina and i decided to take our motorbikes all the way from Canggu to Amed in the north of Bali. We planned the whole trip about two weeks before she arrived in Bali and after talking to jewellery designer and close friend Kyoung about it  - she also decided to join. We started our trip at 7:30 am and took of after filling up with Bensin (this is how you spell it in Indonesia). The entire trip was one big adventure, starting at VIRGIN BEACH (as a tip: come early like we did because from 12 on the tourists start pooring in in their horrible khaki shorts and straw hats!) all the way up to LES to a hidden waterfall and ended with loosing Nina in traffic in Denpasar on the way back ;) here are the pictures of our beautiful trip. on we went and stopped at the so called VIRGIN BEACH! beautiful Waters and coral reefs as well! But be sure to be there ea...

So this is supposed to be the first of many to come articles about my life in Bali and about my daily life here. No worries i will never stop writing about Art or Film! just in case you wondered. My friend Mirjam from Vienna is currently visiting Bali and we decided to "do Ubud" together. The last time i was in Ubud was in February aka it was low season. So we didn't want to go anywhere without knowing what every middle age desperate housewife knows about Ubud - oh yes i am talking Julia Roberts - as preparation we watch "Eat Pray Love". People. Ubud is not like that. at all. Besides the fact that the movie itself is a HUGE bore  -   quote Mirjam:  "I want the wasted 2,5 hours of my life back please"  - and in my opinion sexist towards women (come on she stays because of him and her life makes sense again because she has a MAN in her life? sorry but that is BS). Don't get me wrong here, Ubud is nice but i prefer...
