I am totally in love with the Museum of Contemporary Craft. They have had some great shows since they opened. This one is particularly interesting…
“War Bowl” by Domic Wilcox
Manuf®actured opens this Thursday at MoCC. The exhibition explores the use of “labor-intensive craft practices” to take apart and remold mass produced objects and materials. The wide variety of work examines questions of “overabundance, appropriation, [and] reuse.” MoCC will, as always, stay open for the First Thursday artwalk next week.
Exhibition • August 28, 2008 - January 4, 2009
Lecture • 6:30pm • September 18 Museum of Contemporary Craft • 724 NW Davis • 503.223.2654
One of our own, Christopher Douglas, has designed these amazing T’s to show his (and I would venture to say all of our) support for Barack Obama for President!!!!! We had a short but fun shoot for them in the studio today. Beautiful shirt, beautiful photo (Carlin Sundell), beautiful models (Liz and Tyler) and a beautiful new start for the US of A. BARACK ME LIKE A HURRICANE!
We’ve been lax on the nemo initiation process with the massive amounts of new employees trickling in so today we decided to catch up and corralled all the new employees and some not so new but yet to be initiated… this process includes the ingestion of (about) 4 drops of vicious viper hotsauce. This sauce is not for the faint of heart….for a few this ended in tears and others it was the bathroom. Thanks for being good sports and welcome to nemo!!!!
Chase Jarvis is one lucky son of a B! Nikon teamed up with his crew and gave them all D90’s weeks before the official press release debuting the camera came out, check out the specs here and peep the movie to see all the fun things this camera can do!
Maria is not only a talented photographer but she is creating her own photographic subjects…that being the clothing she makes from the remains of dead animals. To top this creative genius off she has chosen models from a small island in Brazil of ages 27-90. This is a great follow up to her earlier series of elderly women wearing apparel made of chicken skins. You can check out more of her work online.
Powder & Rails is a new video series on VBS.TV. It covers snowboarding’s early days, day-glo and all! With interviews from Pat Bridges of Snowboarder Magazine, Kevin English of HCSC, Nemo’s own Trevor Graves and many more legends in the game! They give the low down on those days of tindy’s, grassers, eggplants and stiffy mute’s! TUNE IN!
Nike teamed up with Haro Bikes, and a bunch of contemporary artists with a cultural connection to BMX and created original works of art using Haro’s original number plate as their canvas.
