Robert Montgomery @ KK Outlet

I have been a fan of the artist Robert Montgomery's work for a while now so I was really excited to be walking past the KK Outlet yesterday and see him helping to position his art work on the facade of the building in what I have to say were a pretty fresh pair of pale grey Nike Air Max 1 'Safaris'. I took a sneak peak at the unfinished 'It Turned Out This Way Cos You Dreamed It This Way' exhibition which opens on Thursday night an runs till the 25th. If you get a chance please go down and check it out along with finding his 3 billboards on Old Street, they are very thought provoking and look great in the urban environment...

Stanley Kubricks New York

We are all familiar with Stanley Kubrick's film directing acumen. But in fact Kubrick’s special skill behind the camera and his ability to create visual intrigue were evident long before he was a Hollywood icon. Even at the age of 17, Kubrick was an immense talent. In 1945, for $25, he sold a photograph to Look magazine of a broken-hearted newsvendor reacting to the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. A few months later Kubrick joined Look’s staff to become the youngest staff photographer in the magazine’s history. He continued to work for Look until 1950 when he left to pursue filmmaking. Now hand picked from 10,000 Kubrick Negatives 25 have been chosen to be made available in print form via V+M. I can't think of a better christmas present for anyone interested in photography/film or the creative arts, such a brilliant piece of history...

Object Abuse at KK Outlet

I find myself constantly thinking about what could be done with everyday objects other than their original function. It seems im not alone in this thought as the KK Outlet in London starting today are hosting 'Object Abuse' an exhibition to challenge a group of leading artists, designers and stylists to take an everyday object, remould, rebuild and repurpose it to create an entirely new item using as little additional materials as possible. Here is a taster of the event but to get a real taste get down to KK Outlet: 42 Hoxton Square | London | N1 6PB | United Kingdom The Exhibition runs till the 25 September, and all items on show will be for sale with proceeds going to charity...

Explained as 'Bringing body and machine into close proximity she explores the tension between the intellectual perception of the fighter plane and physical experience of the object' I just cannot wait to go down and see this, learn more here...
