A recent skateboard exhibition 'Decked Out' held at Wellington's infamous ALC headquarters 'Manky Chops Gallery' saw some of the local artists put up some of their signature work onto the ever used canvas of a skateboard.

I was sent a beautiful postcard by one of my girlfriends who is being a gypsy at the moment, traveling around on her own, meeting amazing landscapes and people... and postcards. She sent me a postcard for my birthday which she later told me was picked up from a cafe while she was in Denmark. The painting on the cover was very beautiful, and it wasn't until this morning that I found out who the artist was... Mia Overgaard.

Today sees the opening of 'Totally rad: New York In The 80's', a bite sized look at artists such as Basquiat, Warhol, and Haring at the  Paul Kasmin Gallery.

It seems now that the worlds of street photography and fashion photography are starting to blur the lines even more. Just taking straight up and down shots is not enough for our standards anymore, we need attention to detail and colour consideration all encompassing that 'coincidental-shot' feeling that we get from the street. We still love fashion editorials, but it seems lately the ones that get us are the ones that have the un-forced feeling mixed with high fashion details.

A silent concert? ..... seems unlikely? Well The Sads are looking at breaking that expectation with their silent concert at the Westwood Art Forum in LA next week. The audience will be given headphones to listen to the 'concert' while there is also a video installation shown on the walls. Mike Mills, who has worked with everyone from Air to Yoko Ono will be conducting this experimental progression from the usual musical experience.
