The world's best event organisers

I went to Pangea Day in Shanghai last weekend and watched this documentary called 'A state of mind', about the mass games in North Korea... it's the most amazing huge scale choreographed event I have ever seen. Damnnnn, these people know dedication!

what if....

I often wonder what I would buy first if I came into possession of a large sum of money... I think I may have found the answer. I would buy a painting from the fabulous Jose Parla...


and fill my house with prints of my favourite photographer/friend, Davi Russo...


Now I just need to get the blueprint of a bank... Not a China one though, I would have problems carrying around so many $100 bills.

Break a leg


Planet B-Boy is a documentary about b-boying, better known as breakdancing. Taking you to Osaka, Seoul, Paris and Las Vegas, it documents the journeys of b-boys from around the world who come together in Germany to vie for the title of World Champion. Dope.

The New Grand Tour

2 days ago, I went to Beijing for the New Grand Tour by Diesel. The New Grand Tour is an episodic art project featuring revolving guest artists with hyphenated cultural and geographical backgrounds. The artists and documentary crew travel together to different parts of the globe and express through art exhibitions the subject matter of the towns and cultures they visit. The China episode features Suitman, Jose Parla, Deanne Cheuk, Rostarr and Davi Russo.

The show was fucking awesome. Mark Foster and Rey Parla are putting together a documentary on this extraordinary adventure. Thanks for letting me be a part of the experience.

My Favourite Things

Man I really dig Transformers and the WWF and Criss Cross and Smucker's Goober Grape Peanut Butter. If only there was a piece of clothing that could encapsulate all of this... oh wait, I think this is IT! Dang!
