OFFF Festival residents BROSMIND is a creative duo of brothers Juan and Alejandro Mingarro. During his childhood, Juan and Alejandro already formed a prolific creative pair that could be considered as the germ of what is now its visual and conceptual universe. This fact personifies the essence of Brosmind, and is of great importance both in the contents that generate and in the mechanics of work.
To make a retrospective of their work BROSMIND ran the exhibition "Working with a brother" this year. The retrospective reflected on the importance of the fraternal bond that exists between the brothers and described how the present work can be considered an extrapolation of the childhood creations.

Guy behind "Hate Mail" and "quintessentially English" artist Mr Bingo (he once called us the peniscollector) is back again with his new Advert Calendar for December 2017. Same as last year approach, Mr Bingo called for the internet to crowdfund his new calendar with a simple challenge “NUDES WANTED, would you like to feature in my 2017 advent calendar?"
“Sorting through the applicants was a big job, I spent about 4 days stalking the 260 people online, looking for images of them and made a big spreadsheet of every single person, where they were in the world and a brief description of what they looked like. Then I somehow whittled it down to 25 people, trying to get as many different types of people represented.”

Marcel Lisboa for the Digital Decade 5
Graphic designer Marcel Lisboa, living and working in São Paulo/Brazil, uses digital means to create his utterly unique illustrations; all of which expressions of private worlds that reveal a distinct story and invite endless contemplation.
Through digital collage the artist reflects his key inspirations: the Renaissance, the Baroque and Neoclassicism. But by shunning the usual genealogy of the Dadaists, Lisboa creates an unique aesthetic based on stunning draftsmanship and evocative scenography.
Creative Debuts, London is a platform celebrating the brightest emerging artists and designers. Designcollector is proud to have them as a new partners for upcoming Digital Decade events you won't miss if subscribed to the Newsletter

BONET is a tribute made by "The 21 Night" studio (Santiago Restrepo Arias) to the Catalan architect Antonio Bonet. Author of a vast work, which tweaks with his genius the geography of Spain and Latin America, which remains a great unknown. Six fragments that project the kaleidoscope of Catalan rationalism, gather and modernise the legacy of architect. It is also a recovery of the dialogue between architecture and light. Between stone and soul. A colourful tribute to the splendour of his work
