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

Dear Readers, Dear Friends, Dear Community, I NEED YOUR HELP! As most of you know i am based in bali since a bit over a year now and i produce my collections here. For those of you who know me personally im sure you are aware that it is very important to me to produce in an ethical and fair way and stay as transparent as possible with how i produce. Why? Because i see the future of fashion in helping others and having a relationship with the people who produce our clothes. I am convinced that by doing so we can work against mass productions and the throwaway society we live in and atone for what we are destroying day by day but most of all: We can help other people. Which is why i decided to buy into my own factory here in Bali. I have launched a Kickstarter campaign where you can find some of my most popular products for sale at a reduced price to fund the rest of the amount i need. The proceeds go directly into the production. I believe that wi...

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...

So one thing i just really don't like doing is taking pictures of things i see or places i am at ;) i literally have to remind myself to do so over and over again. no idea why that is... Anyway, i had some amazing last days here in Bali because my friends from Austria  julia and christina came to visit me. Sadly they only stayed three days with me but we made the best of them and im sure it was not the last time they came for a visit ;) So christina is the complete opposite of me - she takes pictures all the time - so all picutres below are by her and they are pretty awesome! (her camera has WIFI! #wayofthefuture) having the girls here reminded me how much i do miss my old home, my dog, my apartment and and my friends! I'm really happy though that i have friends like them. all Picturres: Christina Haderer So Julia got a new job at a fair trade company named  EZA - based in salzburg EZA buys and distributes products from all over the world making sure they are...
