About Parfois

If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there are 4 of us blogging on a regular basis. Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we'll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.

6 Billion Others – Yann Arthus-Bertrand

08.03.11

This sunday, I visited the exhibition: 6 Billion Others, a Yann Arthus-Bertrand video exhibition about thousands of men and women testimonies from all around the world. A GoodPlanet project.

Visitors start off the visit with a mosaic of expressive faces that surround them as they enter the heart of the exhibition. They then proceed to enter a larger space that contains twenty screening areas. In each, visitors can watch a film about a given theme and thereby share with people from the world over the answers to questions asked by reporters in all four corners of our planet.

 

Join ’6 Billion Others’ till June 19th in Brussels, Tour & taxis

Adrian Ghenie – S.M.A.K. (Ghent)

19.01.11

This Sunday Jonas Smets and me went to the S.M.A.K. museum in Ghent. And we were really surprised by one guy. The Romanian artist Adrian Ghenie (Baia-Mare, 1977) is showing a selection of paintings from before 2009 and a body of new work, including some collage paintings. Also, he is for the first time constructing his imposing Dada Room, a benchmark work in which elements from previous work merge.

Be sure to pay this one a visit if you can. The exhibition runs until 27.03.11.

Love letters

17.11.10

Maria Ikonomopoulou is a greek artist based in the Nederlands. She did her latest work it at at the Daglicht Studio in Eindhoven and she experimented with big size graphics. You can visit the exhibition Groot grafiek in Rotterdam. Maria has been working again in the past with embroidery techniques. To find out a little bit more about Maria and her past work, “spaces between us” and “intimate distances”, I recommend you to have a look at the this interview. To me Maria’s work awakes lots of feelings, thoughts about life and love, it is familiar since she uses greek folk techniques, like embroidery and I especially like her sence of aesthetics. >> Read more
