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.

Ooito + Th' Rezidents Exhibition

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!

I’ve put up a Flickr photoset of shots from “Connections and Combinations,” the exhibition by artist/writer Andrew Conti at the cafe that starts today. The show runs until December 3, with an artist reception being held November 25, from 19:00.

You’ll notice some of the puzzles in the shots that I mentioned a while back, and the artist invites everyone to play around with them, and to then snap a pic and send it to him.
