Wildetecture is the design creative reaction of living on an untamable continent. African fauvistic design is an exploration into insectiture and arachniture elements within the built environment. Because our home spaces are getting smaller, the need to create furniture that is sculpture, art, furniture – being able to bring in wild colour, shape and form into small spaces is the objective of the wildetect designer.

The prolific Jeremyville: artist, designer, creator of comics, author and painter, opens an art installation at The Brooklyn Brothers Gallery NYC next week.
The itinerant renaissance man and his merry band upped sticks from his studio at Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia, relocating the base camp to a loft space in SoHo NYC only a few weeks ago.
And boy has he taken the city by storm, creating a full body of work articulating his response to The Big Apple.
Trained as an architect, his creativity comes from a true passion for drawing, applied in the widest range of situations, from the production of toys and apparel, to product design, skateboards and sneakers, to the creation of animations for television, illustration, murals and comics.
He has also published books like ‘Vinyl Will Kill’, the first to document the scene of Designer Toys, and ‘Jeremyville Sessions’, on his collaborations with big companies like Adidas, Microsoft, Converse, Diesel, MTV, but also with artists like Gary Baseman, Miss Van, Friends with you, Geoff McFetridge, Tim Biskup and hundreds of others. He recently came back from speaking at a creative conference in Buenos Aires, and is speaking at Semi Permanent and Pictoplasma in early 2011.
Come to see the magic for yourself, and meet the artist Jeremyville.

The 2010 Bloomsday is an exhibition in real expositive places. titled “Four artists tripping with Ulisses” with works by Ugo Pierri, Guglielmo Manenti, Aka B and Luigi Tolotti, who have interpreted in an original way Joyce’s work and figure.
Ugo Pierri
“The flexible professor”
A desecrating visionary ability push down from the pedestal the Joyce-myth and turn it with a sharp irony in a bestiary of passions.
Guglielmo Manenti
“Epiphanies”
A vain wandering on the roads of exile take Bloom-Joyce through enigmatic visions, with a bright twilinght cromatism.
Aka B
“The 12 labours of Joyce”
A strong stroke draws Joyce in twelve thick and dark versions, which show a character worn out by creative torture, between seeing and blindness .
Luigi Tolotti
“J.J. 13 variantions on the theme”
An inlay of literary and biographic overlappings recreates in pop and surreal view the density of joycian world, with a graphic and cromatic taste.

SERGIO BERTOLINI – ROBERTO MIGNANEGO
WORLD BEACH ULTIMATE CUP – WORLD FREESTYLE CHALLENGE
“There were colours everywhere, colours’ shreds everywhere. And frisbees. Everywhere.Next year theme for Paganello will be ‘Amarcord’.” [Lui Tasini]
Sergio Bertolini and Roberto Mignanego portray the “Paganello” world challenge 2010 in its 20th edition, in Rimini.
ALEX ROULETTE
PAINTING
From Ohio and living in Brooklyn, Roulette photographs, by accurately reproducing them in pictorial matter, scenes and needs of the “on the road” life of a young and lonely America, searching…
LUCA BIDOLI
WORKS
“In pursuit of a possible wonder. Of endurance against transience. Staying slantwise, sideways: it’s the oblique perspective from the bottom, the one of a pet, of who’s way down, the perspective chosen by Luca Bidoli. That four-legged surreality of clues, acid, with sharp edges, is contrived from voids. […] Becomes pictorial matter, fauve shading, outline of a slightest lapse. Passing”. [Simonetta Angelini]
JEONGMEE YOON
THE PINK AND BLUE PROJECT
The latter concept-reportage by JeongMee Yoon, photographer from South Korea, portrays infancy surrounded from its objects…
“The Pink and Blue Projects, explores the trends in cultural preferences and the differences in the tastes of children (and their parents) from diverse cultures, ethnic groups as well as gender socialization and identity. Today, with the effects of advertising on consumer preferences, pink and blue customs are a worldwide standard.” [JeongMee Yoon]
ALE DI GANGI
IPHONEOGRAFIA
Photographer and videomaker from Florence, Ale Di Gangi is in constant oscillation between digital and analogic, due to a double fascination: he’s keen on vintage, on tour now with “the possible exhibition” (an original polaroid show), and he’s into tech’s vanguard, as for the iPhone-apped images displayed in this feature.

Back Country Paintings
As an explorer of mountains myself, what I noticed whilst climbing and ski touring in the Alps and Himalayas was the quality of the light in the rare-ified atmosphere. This feeling is something I wish to communicate on canvas to my viewers. The particular language of seracs, arêtes, corniced ridges and rime ice is what I have tried to depict in my new work. As a mountaineer myself I feel more able to truthfully reflect upon my experiences once back in the studio. This desire to capture in oil the transience of glaciers, as basically water trapped in a temporary state is what my current work is preoccupied with.
