If you have a look at the latest issue of RYUKO TSUSHIN (522), you’ll find this little news piece (on page 208) covering “Nudie Cafe,” with a nice little photo of Jesper and me. It’s always nice to get covered in the Japanese press!
Today marks the start of Huschang and Sonia’s Ooito and Th’ Rezidents exhibition at the cafe (until December 24), and so I’ve put up a Flickr photoset of a few shots I took tonight. As the exhibition will be held in two phases — read about it here — I’ll add more photos to the set over the course of the show. Both of them will be on hand Friday night (December 15) for an informal reception.
I’m very happy to announce that starting next week, Cafe Pause will be hosting an exhibition by designers Huschang Pourian and Sonia Chow (December 11-24). The show will be divided in two phases, with the first week (December 11-17) covering Huschang’s streetwear line Ooito (it launches with a Spring 2007 collection, so this will act as a preview) and the Rezidents characters that Sonia created, with the second week (December 18-24) focusing on their personal work. Both will be at the cafe next Friday night (December 15), 19:00-22:00, so drop by and meet the designers!
The “Nudie Cafe” event is long over, but here’s a Flickr photoset taken by Jens Petersen (for those who came to the party, he was also the first DJ).
Last night saw another great turnout for PauseTalk, with me managing to get through it despite my cold (I didn’t have much of a voice by the end though). We discussed the wiki project — the wiki is online, but I haven’t made it public yet, but this should happen soon enough — and also proposed a new project that will see participants making shorts with 8mm cameras, to be shown in a future event (if you are interested in participating, details will appear soon on the wiki). Please note that the next PauseTalk (Vol. 7) will take place January 8. A list of all participants at last night’s edition is now up on the PauseTalk website.
