Fri 17th Feb: Walter Hugo "A Moment In An Instant World"

The latest exhibition to land from prolific artist Walter Hugo is a mini retrospective of past projects at Shizaru Gallery. Walter has installed his pinhole camera instrumentation at the show so you can see exactly how his glass plate process is set up. If you happened to have missed any of his works before, this is the perfect place to catch up on how the whole idea began and see the different ways it has progressed ........... and if you take a walk round the corner to the gallery at SHOWstudio you can witness the most recent 3D portraits where Walter has exposed straight onto busts of his subjects .......... mind bending and brilliant.......... as always!

Fri 17th Feb: Robert Storey for Nicholas Kirkwood SS12

Yesterday Robert Storey Studio sent me a message that I might like his new LFW window display at the Nicholas Kirkwood store .......... I didn't have a chance to open up the image in the rush of my manic day............. but by coincidence I ended up on Mount Street myself last night and got to see exactly why he thought it would be up my spectrum street! Here are photos of the final install and snaps of the work in progress from his studio in Dalston. I think I will be back on Mount Street for the strike to scoop up any of the left over pastel wooden diamonds and neon liquid podiums.......... mmmmmmmmmm

Thurs 23rd Feb: Masha Orlov's Valentine Greeting

KISSING from Silja Magg on Vimeo.

Valentine's Day is a pretty sad affair for singleton's (raising my little mitt in the air). So thank goodness for some light relief in the form of colour and fun in alternative messages such as this furry fantastic film from Masha Orlov. Masha's Valentine greeting is a collaboration with hair artist Hrafnildur Anrnardottir aka Shoplifter on the animated set design installation and morphing makeup to match by Andrea Helgadottir. Watch from the beginning to the end of the clip shot by Silja Magg to see the magic unfold featuring Masha herself as the leading smooching lady......... and Martin Bonventre from The French Kings as her partner (and provider of the soundtrack)......

Masha says "Cheers to Kissing!" .............. CHEERS!

(Thanks to Silja for the stills)

Mon 13th Feb: Filofax for "Fashion Targets Breast Cancer"

Head over to an article on Grazia Daily to see scans of some of the other pages of illustrations including work by Giles Deacon, Matthew Williamson, Craig Lawrence, Holly Fulton, John Rocha......

I think its safe to assume that this prevalent disease has most probably effected every one of us in some way between family and friends, so this is a charity we all need to be aware of and actively helping with donations and promotion ............ see more here.

Tues 7th Feb: Women's Aid - Cabinet Of Dreams

For the 7th year in a row Grey London have teamed up with the Women's Aid (national charity working to end domestic violence against women and children) to raise funds whilst giving a meaningful and magical twist to Valentine's Day. The aim of the collaboration is to highlight that for over a million women, Valentine's Day is like any other day, a day of living in fear of their partner. The Cabinet of Dreams has discarded the cliched and predictable idea of a valentine gift by alternatively offering virtual gifts for your sweetheart. Titles of unfulfilled promises and sentiments have been interpreted into bell jar designs by London's artists and collectives (Myself, Rob Ryan, Kyle Bean, The Last Tuesday Society, Nicole Mueller, Suck & Chew, Francesca Mair, Marie-Louise Jones and Charlotte Brown). The installation is displayed in a Soho store window for shoppers to view and 'purchase' by texting the number to donate to Women's Aid. The purchase will then be sent via text to the recipient who will be informed of the donation and their unique present................ a worthwhile cause to champion in place of a box of chocolates or cuddly toy!

"The Cabinet of Dreams" is at The FrameStore, 9 Noel St, W1F 8G until Valentine’s Day.

Get your loved one a true money-can’t buy gift this Valentine’s Day by visiting www.cabinetofdreams.co.uk
