Studio BLUP for Adidas Winter Olympics Team GB

March 27, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Advertising, Agencies, Branding, Graphic Design, United Kingdom, 2018, Glitch

London-based Studio BLUP has recently updated their nobles folio with a commission done for Adidas online campaign aimed to promote Team GB at Winter Olympics

The Brief
To create the social marketing material for Adidas's officia Winter Olympics Kit launch.

The BLUP way
There aren't many household names who represent GB in the Winter Olympics so there were no sports celebs to base the kit launch around. Thinking The Blup Way we decided to focus on the kit with no model at all giving each piece its own identity through a series of still and motion graphics. The soundtrack we added aims to act like an 'epic' movie trailer in order to create a dark, icy impact.

Jose Cuervo Celebration by Brian Williams

March 27, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Mexico, Motioncollector, Advertising, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2018

They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds

Shot by Brian Williams in the town of Tequila, the film is about more than just capturing the heart of a place, its people, or even the brand

“Every now and again a job comes along that makes you remember why you love making films so much. Boys & Girls asked me to travel to the heart of Mexico to make a film for Jose Cuervo in the town of Tequila. Our mission, to capture the spirit of Jose Cuervo, the town and its people. This is the result and it became more than just a film for me, it was a trip I will always remember and a group of people I’ll never forget. Everybody mucked in to make this as special as it really was.”

Art of Lorna Simpson

Hauser & Wirth London

March 07, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Sculpture, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2018

Lorna Simpson’s inaugural exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, ‘Unanswerable’, features new and recent work across three different media: painting, photographic collage and sculpture. Simpson came to prominence in the 1980s through her pioneering approach to conceptual photography, which featured striking juxtapositions of text and staged images and raised questions about the nature of representation, identity, gender, race and history. These concerns are reflected throughout the exhibition to present the artist’s expanding and increasingly multi-disciplinary practice today

Lorna Simpson: Unanswerable is on view at Hauser & Wirth, London, through April 28.

The Burberry February 2018 Runway Show, London

February 18, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Fashion, United Kingdom, Motioncollector, 2018

An adventurous last show from the form-breaking British designer Christopher Bailey who reinvented Burberry

Time. Reflecting the past. Celebrating the present. Heralding the future. A patchwork of characters and identities. A riot of colour. Traditional techniques reimagined to create exquisite new finishes, rediscovered pieces made new.

P.s.
It is not clear wether United Visual Arts were involved to the show or not but the pendulum light installation was definitely inspired by UVA's "Our Time" project from 2016

Chubby Hearts over London by Anya Hindmarch

February 16, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, United Kingdom, Street Art, 2018

Chubby Hearts Over London is a design project conceived by Anya Hindmarch as a love letter to London and supported by the Mayor of London, the British Fashion Council and the City of Westminster.

Starting on Valentine's Day and continuing throughout London Fashion Week, giant chubby heart balloons will be suspended over (and sometimes squashed within) London landmarks as a declaration of love to the city. The balloons will disappear each evening and appear again in a different location the next day.

Discovering new artist is always a sport but doing it together with our new partners Creative Debuts makes it a pleasant competition.

The Darkest Building on Earth: Hyundai Pavilion covered with Vantablack VBx2

February 10, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Architecture, South Korea, United Kingdom, Art, 2018

"London-based architecture practice Asif Khan have unveiled their latest project, a super-black pavilion entirely coated in Vantablack VBx2 at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics 2018 in South Korea. The building’s exterior is illuminated by a field of stars that appear to float in mid-air. Hyundai Motor has commissioned the pavilion as part of a global mobility initiative."

"The structure’s 10-metre-high parabolic facades are coated with a super black material: Vantablack VBx2, a derivative of the original Vantablack, making it the world’s largest continuous nanostructure. The matt black material is able to absorb 99% of the light that hits its surface, diminishing its three dimensionality and creating the illusion of a startling black void in broad daylight. The facades of the pavilion are punctuated by thousands of tiny white lights which, during the day, simulate the view into space from that point on earth."

"Inside the 35m x 35m structure, Khan has designed a vast ‘water room’ – a multi-sensory hydrophobic water installation which emits 25,000 singular water droplets every minute. Visitor interaction with a series of haptic sensors creates new rhythms as droplets continually collide, join, and split across the water landscape, which appears like a city viewed from space. These flows of individual droplets col-lect, grow and build into a ‘lake’ which drains and reappears in the space of minutes."

A post shared by 김지민 (@jiminikeem) on Feb 9, 2018 at 6:13pm PST

"Asif Khan has been working with the manufacturers of Vantablack since 2013 and proposed its use in his shortlisted proposal for the UK Pavilion at Milan Expo 2015. Asif Khan’s super-black building at the 2018 Winter Olympics follows his designs for Coca-Cola’s landmark pavilion at the 2012 London Olympic Games and the MegaFaces pavilion at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics."

Damien Hirst mockumentary "The Treasures from The Wreck of the Unbelievable" hits Netflix

January 08, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Motioncollector, United Kingdom, 2018

The film, financed by the artist himself, seeks to re-enact the fictional backstory behind the divisive show went in Venice last year (see full coverage)

According to the 90-minute mockumentary, the vast Venice spectacle was not the 52-year-old artist’s highly anticipated comeback exhibition, which took 10 years and cost a reported $65 million to produce.

Instead, the film suggests the show was the debut presentation of long-lost treasure discovered by a team of archaeologists and divers off the coast of east Africa. The trove—so the story goes—had been assembled during the 1st or 2nd centuries by a former slave turned voracious collector, Cif Amotan II (an anagram, it turns out, for “I am fiction”).

The 50 Digital Artists we curated offline in 2017

December 27, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Decade, Digital Art, Events, United Kingdom, Art, 2017

Instead of doing our classic Cream of the Top we decided to look back and underline the best thing we did this year. Definitely it was the 5th instalment of Digital Decade collaboration with 50 artists (let's say top artists of 2017 by our version) that ended in August as a group show of Phygital Art in London. And it wouldn't happen without a great support of the partners listed below:

Curated by Arseny Vesnin

The concept of Digital Decade5: Cyberia was “the Unknown Territories Shaped by the Digital Ethnos”. This, “Ethnos” refers to the generation of digital people that are changing our world, and continuing to influence our culture. As our world becomes increasingly digital, it ultimately transforms to become a ‘Cyberia’.

Identity of Cyberia

The whole identity of Digital Decade 5 was created by famous artist Ruslan Khasanov who has recently won ADC Young Gun 15 Award and Behance selected him to decorate their own Behance Decade :)

@ruskhasanov

First us then Apple

The curator of Digital Decade and Designcollector founder Arseny Vesnin was happy enough to cross path with leading artist Shane Griffin whose works you can see on iPhone X and 8 now. But long before this, he created a special artwork for Cyberia collaboration

The idea to get on board one of the pioneer of digital art - Aristarkh Chernyshev came to me after I revisited "Electronic Superhighway" exhibition in Whitechapel in 2016. That's how we got his famous electric marquee artwork to the walls of Cyberia exhibition

Ron Mueck "Mass" Large-scale Skull Installation

NGV Melbourne

December 15, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Australia, United Kingdom, Sculpture, 2017

As part of NGV Triennial, twenty large-scale new artworks have been commissioned by the NGV, including Ron Mueck’s Mass 2016–17, a monumental work of extraordinary presence comprising 100 individual skulls.

"Mass" is an installation of 100 individual human skull forms piled up on the gallery floor, each which engage with the architecture of the site.

"The installation brings to mind the massed remains in the catacombs of Paris, an imposing wall of human heads that resonates with a simultaneous and strange sense of impermanence and eternality. In ‘Mass’, Mueck celebrates the form that links all humanity and pays homage to a symbol that has stood within the art of essentially all cultures and religion. surrounded by skulls covering nearly every surface of the walls, visitors are reminded of the transience of life" via designboo
