"Abstraction is staggeringly radical, circumvents language, and sidesteps naming or mere description. It disenchants, re-enchants, detoxifies, destabilizes, resists closure, slows perception,

and increases our grasp of the world."

Tristian Koenig, co-founder of Neon Parc, has branched into an establishment of his own gallery space.

The first exhibition 'Explaining colours to the blind' opened last night and is running until May 7

(Level 1, 18 Ellis Street, South Yarra).

Curiosity illuminates the correct path to anything in life. If you’re not curious, that’s when your brain is starting to die. And discovering, I think, that’s what separates us from the rest of the other species.
It’s that we discover and pioneer, we don’t forget from whence we came.
Pharrell Williams

Irwin Barbé splices parts of A Swedish Love Story into this music video for Thieves Like Us.
Brb, moving to Sweden.
Favourite scene is Pär’s family’s dinner and everyone gets
a cool party hat and lobster bib. Genius.

logic and suitability, and with its primeval force compels everything
to attain the highest artistic form."

I do not have any ability to resolve such questions,
I have a Euclidean mind, an earthly mind,
and therefore it is not for us to resolve
things that are not of this world.

A sail! A veil awave upon the waves.
When first he saw. Alice!
Full tup. Full throb.
Warbling. Ah, lure! Alluring.

Goodgod henev erheard inall.

For other plash and silent roar.
Pearls: when she. Liszt's rhapsodies. Hissss.

Juergen Teller's book Zimmermann (documenting Raquel Zimmermann in southern Germany) prompted me to go exploring through the back catalogue of his work... all with a very irreverent and unmanufactured tone. The dirct, open style is seen in his first portraits from around 1986 of Elton John and Kurt Cobain and his recent ad campaigns for Yves St. Laurent, Comme Des Garçons, Marc Jacobs, Helmut Lang and others.

I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it, that explains the trouble that I'm always in.

Love the sheer panelling and wrap blouses tucked into cigarette taper trousers. Preppy style of high waited skirts and pant suits, while ruched and balloon sleeves add volume.
Blend of lingerie inspired cuts with youthful, naive prints has a quaint and poetic effect, favourite for S/S

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." -Jack Kerouac
