Fashion / Rest In Peace give away

We love underground Melbourne fashion label, Rest In Peace (RIP). The three lads behind it are doing some amazing clothing designs, many of which play on the visual twist afforded by the name of the brand. The t-shirts in particular are very cool and have already found their own little niche in the Australian market. The genesis of the label was simple: ‘The first book of the Old Testament tells of creation; Adam and Eve; the Fall of Man; Cain and Abel; Noah and the flood; God’s covenant with Abraham; Jacob and Esau; Joseph and his brothers. Now you have Rest In Peace, created not by Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, but Patrick, Mark and Tom. It’s The Third Coming!’ And the clothing itself? ‘It’s a hybrid product that offers the best of both worlds. We incorporate many other elements of design into Rest In Peace so it evolves beyond just fashion’. We have five Rest In Peace t-shirts to give away to random Lost At E Minor subscribers who either forward this posting onto at least six of their friends or leave a comment under this posting outlining another potential fashion related meaning for the abbreviation RIP. Winners announced on September 27th. Watch this space. [see also Sumakhi dress giveaway]

Gregory Euclide

I love the sense of space and subtle introspection that seeps through Gregory Euclide’s artwork. His says of his latest series, ‘my work explores the way we experience nature and how this is tied to the cultural practice of constructing landscapes as idealized images. When we are in nature we experience the world through all of our senses in a dynamic way, but at the same time we are framing what we see through the cultural expectations we have absorbed through representational systems such as landscape painting, wildlife documentary, and travel guides. It is impossible, then, to have a true, non-mediated experience of nature even though we may long for it. My work explores the contradictions between the projection of idealized, picturesque views of landscape and our desire to have an authentic experience in nature’. Read more

What a great looking t. One I could definately wear at the dinner table this christmas. The conversation would go as such,

“Ben, pass the turkey please, and my! What an exquisit shirt! What is that panties around the ankels?”
“Why yes mother” I would reply, “its 100% cotton”
“The panties too?” She would ask…
“Yes, the panties too, however its ’screened’ on so it is merely just a representation of the actual, corporeal thing that is the panties.”
“Ah, now I understand Benjamin, now pass me the turkey like a good boy.”
“With pleasrue mother.”

I’d love to see RIP come across the ocean to Canada… i’d make a great “rip rep”

Do you think this is how SMP got all those sayings for those tees us skaters slarthered ourselves with in the mid ’90s?

Japanese artist Toshiya Tsunoda’s field recordings will blow your mind without blowing your eardrums. By placing sensitive microphones inside empty objects, such as bottles and hollow logs, he captures vibrations inaudible to the human ear. Layers of these sounds are artfully cut and composed to produce brute, mesmerising work that challenges our perception of music. Read more

Jean-Julien Pous’ Seeking You is an animated love letter to the city of Hong Kong. It presses all the same buttons as Blade Runner and In the Mood for Love, with a touch of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s gothic style, and though it’s really amazing eye candy, it also smacks of creepy, orientalist expat. Here, an entire Asian city is exoticized, fetishized, and finally anthropomorphized in a rather unsubtle way. Why are so many creepy old European dudes so lecherous when it comes to Asia?

Steve Schofield’s Land of the Free

In his series Land of the Free, photographer Steve Schofield captures geeky, cosplay fanatics in their own homes, sometimes with their costume-less family members. Two Klingons relaxing in a Middle-American living room as if waiting for grandma to serve cookies and tea makes for a truly compelling image. Schofield’s photos seem tense, as if halfway stuck between a mundane but warm reality and an exciting fantasy world. Read more

Liz Wolfe’s bunny tales

A master of juxtaposition, Canadian photographer Liz Wolfe has updated her site with her newest series which focuses on characters and confection. The photos are never what they first seem, revealing something a little more macabre on closer inspection: a meat tree, a diseased dear, a melting icy pole dripping blood. It’s all presented in hyper-real candy colours.

Polymer architecture

Here’s another commercial building, and no doubt a nice one too. But just another commercial building. Yet there is something different here and it’s in the materials used. The cladding is a fibre-reinforced polymer, or a FRP, and has a finish similar to that of a car. This technology has not been used on buildings extensively, though it has been used commonly in aerospace industries due to its higher strength to weight ratio than steel and concrete. The building by Foster and Partners — called The Walbrook — is located in London and is due to be completed in 2009.

The pre-revolution artwork of Xiaoqing Ding

New York-based artist Xiaoqing Ding’s work draws from traditional Sung Dynasty scroll paintings as well as from more recent forms, her figures looking as much like the cherubic babies in festive Chinese New Year art (known as Nian Hua) as they do the sultry flappers in cigarette ads in 1930s Shanghai. Her images have an ethereal and slyly erotic quality, referencing Chinese mythology, pre-revolution film, and subtly personal narratives. Read more
