BERGEN HENEGOUWEN IN 1.000.000 MPH PROJECT SPACE

Salon originates from the curators experience of a group of east end artists meeting a group of west London fashion photographers at the home of Iain Mckell. It is also a collaboration with a new fashion journal Vague papers, edited by Matthew Holroyd, launching its second issue, to co incide with the exhibition and London Fashion week. The exhibition includes: adoringly beautiful film and photographic portraits of the model Lilly Cole shot by Iain Mckell for Italian Vogue, evoking accidentally the fascination and anxiety of femininity in adolescence alongside a selection of his archival subcultural images; Uncanny photographic portraits of Arnaud Desjardin dressed and naked as Yves Saint Laurent, mimicking the poster adverts for his brand and clothes of the 1968-73 period, also a time of great political change in France; Sarah Baker’s posters using herself as an exaggerated object of bling culture and an iconic hat of designer Stephen Jones, used by Baker in a shoot featured in Vague papers.

BLACKTRO II

It's going to be a black Christmas. Blacktro is raw, mean, funky and heavily electronic. White electro beats meet the blackest of baselines. Black vocals meat the wicked bleeping distortion of moogs attacked by sythesizers layered with dry rambling beats. It's black punk! Invented by Bastiaan Rijkers who died far too soon! We will miss him.

EG I PC HELL MAGAZINE

The concept of HELL magazine originates in an alternative and interactive project of art. We imagined an object, a work both visual and in writing, to accompany the creative process of our new piece as aplatform for exchange and to contribute to broadening and enriching its dynamics. New initiatives and perspectives can thus be concentrate around a shared energy, to provide joint spaces for reflection. In addition to the artistic team, mobilised for the production of the same name: HELL, we have invited other artists to participate in this work. Graphic designer, art critics, scientist and other artists, from the theatre, music and the visual arts have been asked to take part in the questioning of our company. It is their visions, published alongside the portraits of the dancers that intervene along this magazine. The project is also pursued through the creation of a perfume, baptised Extremalism, the first time a choreographic concept has been translated into essences and marketed. An aim long pondered and cherised and whose launch will be one of the next premieres of the company EG I PC. La fragance en danse.
