Can't Get Enough

One thing that is amazing about Londontown is the endless amount of exhibitions, degree and end of year shows -- I just can't seem to get enough. From the University of Arts London to the Royal College of Arts and a plethora of others the creativity is awe inspiring. Recently I have been attending Free Range highly recommended. It is a showcase of graduating fine art, fashion, photography, architecture and design students from around England.

Philippe Petit is probably best known as the  Man on Wire, the high wiire artist who walked between the Twin Towers on a narrow wire in 1974; this time he teamed up with renowned photographer Victoria Dearing for this exhibit that documents Petit's most recent 'project' as a teacher of a Action Maverick Master class at the Streb Lab in Brooklyn.
'Line-up' not only features photographs by Dearing  but also and drawings by Petit himself and the beautiful Clic Gallery will welcome the opening reception for the exhibit this coming Thursday December 1, 2010.

City of Saints

Photographer Leila Stambouli's latest project City of Saints is a beautiful tribute to Montreal and its people -the Saints.  Who are Stambouli's Saints? an eclectic group of Montrealers that have crossed her path over the past few months.

The images of the 'City of Saint s' all have  the clean and pure aesthetic that the young photographer has now mastered and we love it.

The photographs are on display at Boutique Fly, until November 30, as part of a solo exhibition organized with the boutique located in the heart of Montreal. 

You may also visit Stambouli's blog  for regular updates on the project.
