Introducere in Cultura Jucariilor Urbane

In asteptarea unei noi expozitii surpriza la VATRA Collective, sambata asta ne-am hotarat sa va prezentam o scurta istorie a culturii jucariilor urbane, fenomen aparut in mod oficial la Hong Kong in 1990, bazat pe cultura hip-hop, graffiti, design si ilustratie lowbrow. Nicu Duta de la Eldercut va vorbi despre aparitia acestui fenomen, despre felul in care s-a raspandit in toate colturile lumii, despre jucarii internationale faimoase ca MUNNY, BE@RBRICK, QEE, MADL, sau de la noi din tara SANDO si BUCUR.

In continuarea prezentarii o sa proiectam filmul VINYL & CO, un documentar despre fenomenul jucariilor urbane, realizat de JAC & JOHAN, doi regizori independenti francezi care fac clipuri pentru trupe, artisti, filme despre pop culture, comics, designer toys, etc.

In plus vom avea expuse colectiile personale de art toys si action figures ale Ioanei Slaniceanu, Sinboy si Nicu Duta.

Sambata 26 Noiembrie / 20:00 / VATRA COLLECTIVE (Str. Jean Luis Calderon 44)

The Chase is better than the Catchphrase


Saturday noon. Nice location but very exposed. Especially during the day time. Bed cover kind of helped me ignore that.

Swoon Interview



Renowned for her delicate paste ups and large scale installation work, New York artist, Swoon, recently made a trip to Melbourne for her first Australian exhibition, Thekla, at the Metro Gallery in Armadale. The petite artist was run off her feet when we visited her in the gallery, but she managed to sit down with us to chat about her upbringing, her artistic process and future projects. In this nice little film by ACCLAIM lads, Louis Mitchell and Michael Danischewski, she spoke extensively about space, context and participation and how these inspire and impact her work.
