Two Light Boxes -Ramona Lola Angelico + Paul Louis Wotherspoon will utilize the light box.


We Build Up
is an exhibition that will involve two spaces, Rearview Gallery in Melbourne, Australia and Artbank in Vancouver, Canada. Linked together via a video projection, both spaces will be occupied by individuals working together to construct a mutual place where the final outcome is undefined.
Working together from opposite sides of the globe Blais and Moss ‘s practice investigates collective imagination through creative impulse. By creating a temporary structure via an internet connection We Build Up seeks to question what happens when community is created through a share of space and how creating places together gives birth to community.

World Cup madness

I can only ask why? Well I know the answer, but really ?

however I was fascinated by the Craftmanship that goes into creating a carrying case, have a look:

It was commissioned by FIFA, the special order case, handmade by a single master craftsman in Louis Vuitton’s historic Asnières workshop near Paris, has been meticulously designed to accommodate the celebrated Trophy, which measures 36 cm in height, weighs 6.175 kg and is made of solid 18-carat gold with a base of semi-precious malachite. Covered in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas, the travel case is fitted with the company’s signature brass lock and corners, and has a dark brown lining that complements the Trophy’s rich gold.

Like all Louis Vuitton special orders, the FIFA World Cup Trophy case was made at the company’s original workshop in Asnières, which opened in 1859. The case opens at the front and at the top to allow the Trophy to be removed easily when, at the final on 11th July in Johannesburg, watched by many millions of people across the globe, it will be presented.
