justjo — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 05:11:29 +0000

Absolut has a sterling track record in support of visual arts. From the brand’s famed advertisements (produced by the likes of Warhol, Scharf, Haring, and Hirst ) to the Absolut Art Award, the brand’s pulse beats through the art world. The latest project, 365 Days, is curated by Thomas Nordanstad and explores creativity in different places around the world. The project kicked off in mid-May with 5 Days in La Roma – an event that included globally-acclaimed artists Rirkrit Tiravanija, Miguel Calderon, Mario Garcia Torres, Laureana Toledo, Sam Samore, and Carl Michael von Hausswolff all presenting new works (mostly films) in Mexico City.

Pakpoom Silaphan at Scream Gallery

From Friday September 10 to October 23, 2010, Scream Gallery will present new work from Pakpoom Silaphan’s “Coca-Cola series.” The Thai artist, enamored with advertising since childhood, paints on vintage cola signs. He uses them as backdrops for portraits of influential people – think Lennon, Guevera, the Queen – fusing Warhol’s elevation of brand ubiquity with individual celebrity.

Silaphan studied at Silpakorm University in Thailand and completed a Post-graduate course in print making at Camberwell College of Art. He has exhibited throughout Europe and the United States.

“Baroque Eyes” by Moo Piyasombatkul at Mint Shop

Moo Piyasombatkul is also exhibiting at Mint as part of HomeWorks. Piyasombatkul believes that jewellery is body adornment that creates an impact and changes the way the wearer look.

The collection was inspired by “new antique” concept by Marcel Wanders. His theory is to give an old-fashioned material (vintage frame) with a dramatic and contemporary twist (monochrome white porcelain Baroque frame). The eyewear collection creates something unique and memorable with sophisticated sensibility.

Piyasombatku chose to work with porcelain because of its purity of white and also porcelain is truly fragile, which is representing luxury, clean and delicacy.

When an eye piece is worn, it creates a character for the wearer. It can be dramatic or subtle, depending on the design and the person who’s wearing it. The function is purely to wear as a statement accessories piece to create a unique character. Just enjoy and have fun.
