WATERWORLD - China

Atkin's Architecture Group recently won the first prize award for an international design competition with this stunning entry. Set in a spectacular water filled quarry in Songjiang, China, the 400 bed resort hotel is uniquely constructed within the natural elements of the quarry. Underwater public areas and guest rooms add to the uniqueness, but the resort also boasts cafes, restaurants and sporting facilities.

The lowest level runs with the aquatic theme by housing a luxurious swimming pool and an extreme sports center for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping which will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water. With a stunning visual presentation as shown here, it's no wonder this project took home the first prize. This is a fine example of an ultra modern facility co-existing amongst its natural environment.

She seems the perfect embodiment of the White Swan, all lightness and fragility and innocence, but her role also comprises the dark twin, the Black Swan. As opening night draws closer, Nina finds that releasing her self control might be the only way to succeed. As her preparation transcends her performance, the Black Swan takes her into a psychological nightmare.

Patrıc Demarchelier

Patrick Demarchelier was born in 1944. For his seventeenth birthday, his stepfather brought him his first Eastman Kodak camera. Demarchelier learned how to develop film, retouch negatives and began shooting friends and weddings. After growing up in the northern seaside town of Le Havre, moving to Paris to work in photo labs as an assistant, Demarchelier began his dream run at British Vogue in the early ‘80s when it was commanded by the likes of Liz Tilberis and Anna Wintour, talent-spotters of the finest water who went on to helm Harper’s Bazaar and American Vogue in the early ‘90s.  Since the late 1970’s he has shot the covers for nearly every major fashion magazine. Demarchelier also shot international advertising campaigns for Dior, Louis Vuitton, Celine, TAG Heuer, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Lacoste, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. In 1989 he became the official photographer of Princess Diana. He later became the first non-Britain to photograph the British Royal Family. Since 1992 he has worked with Harper’s Bazaar, becoming its premier photographer. Demarchelier was awarded the contract for the 2005 prestigious Pirelli Calendar. In 2007, Mrs. Christine Albanel, Minister of Culture in France, honored Patrick Demarchelier as an Officer de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres. His book Patrick Demarchelier Photographs was such a success that it was printed a second time after it 12,000 copies were sold. For a long time Patrick Demarchelier didn’t want to expose his work in galleries, much less sell it, until he was convinced otherwise by one of his art collector friends from New York. At that point, he said exposing in galleries felt like: “the beginning of a new career.”  Demarchelier has lived in New York City since 1975, and is considered today one of the top fashion photographers in the world.

if you have become ash,
then wait till you become a rose again
and do not remember how often you have become ash
...but how often you were reborn in ashes to a new rose
(Küle döndüysen, yeniden güle dönmeyi bekle.. Ve geçmişte kaç kere küle dönüştüğünü değil, kaç kere yeniden küllerin arasından doğrulup yeni bir gül olduğunu hatırla..)

Sometimes alone but not lonely....

Alexander McQueen

"Şöhret olma işini film yıldızlarına bırakmak gerek; biz modacıların yaptığı sadece insanlara servis vermekten ibaret." Lee Alexander McQueen; 11 Şubat günü Londra'nın merkezinde, Valentino ve Tom Ford gibi moda star'larının adresi olarak bilinen Mayfair'deki evinde canına kıydığında gerçek bir şöhretti. Köpekleri Minter, Juice ve Callum ile paylaştığı evde, 2 Şubat'ta kaybettiği annesinin cenaze töreninden bir gece önce kendini asmıştı.

Moda endüstrisine yirmi yıl boyunca kattığı tazelik, yaratıcılık, imza attığı sayısız koleksiyon ve çarpıcı defilenin ardından Alexander McQueen, uzun süredir Alexander the Great - Büyük İskender olarak anılıyordu. Şöhreti onun yakınında olmak, onunla objektiflere gülümseyebilmek için çaba harcayan eğlence dünyasının yıldızlarınınkinden daha büyüktü. 40 yaşında, üç yıl önce onu moda dünyasına kazandıran Isabella Blow gibi kendi elleriyle hayatına son verince, bir yıldız gibi kaydı gitti.

Hz.Mevlana Der ki;

Yorulacaksan, zorlanacaksan, şikâyetçi olacaksan, keşkelere sığınacaksan,
Söze am...a diye başlayacaksan, girme aşk yoluna.
Aşk yolunda u dönüşü yoktur!
Aşk der ki sana:
Yolumdaysan, başım feda yoluna ama bil ki senin de başını isterim yoluma! Kahır, kapris gelecekse senden amenna. Ama ayağına diken batarsa yolumda, ah edip vahlanma. Aşk bilek gücü değil yürek işidir. Yüreğin yetmiyorsa düşme yollara.’

Jeff Nishinaka - The Paper Genius -art

The stunning elegance of Jeff Nishinaka’s paper art calls for a new definition of paper. His meticulous sculptural 3D work appears to have been created from marble or extremely fine sand or vanilla ice cream or thick foam — definitely of something other than “just” paper. The Los Angeles-born artist works mainly with white, which makes the exquisite play of light and shadow a large part of the appeal of his work.

Branded Art Installations

Brands are tapping into the art space and we are, perhaps surprisingly, noticing some pretty awesome art installations as a result. It is a precarious feat for a brand to attempt because it can easily go wrong and have the exact opposite of the desired effect. A branded piece of art can be viewed as too promotional, too gaudy, too imposing and an intrusion into “public space.”

Minjae Lee

In between studying for my art exam (which currently stands between me and freedom) and planning a much needed beach retreat with Kesselle, I've been stepping up my internet browsing. Basking in the glory of other blogs as well as random websites.

That is how I stumbled upon the one and only; Minjae Lee.

Born 1947 Born in Hebei province, ChinaIn Ai Xuan's paintings, two subjects predominate: children and the snowy landscape of Tibet. The image is of tranquility and empty space. The crease in the leather and fur coat, the withered grass in the snow form the details of realism. But the space framed by the outline of the human figure in the distant horizon forms a certain symbol. In Ai Xuan's art, this symbol is achieved by the description of human figures and landscape, colour contrast and curve of outline, and the relationship between them.
