JEFF KOONS' RETROSPECTIVE IN NY



                                          
Jeff Koons is widely regarded as one of the most important, influential, popular, and controversial artists of the postwar era. Throughout his career, he has pioneered new approaches to the readymade, tested the boundaries between advanced art and mass culture, challenged the limits of industrial fabrication, and transformed the relationship of artists to the cult of celebrity and the global market. Koons also worked with Lady Gaga on her 2013 studio album Artpop, including the creation of its cover artwork featuring a sculpture he made of Lady Gaga. 
The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York presents until the 19th October 2014 first Koons'  retrospective surveying the full scope of his career. Comprising almost 150 objects dating from 1978 to the present, this exhibition is the most comprehensive ever devoted to the artist’s groundbreaking oeuvre. By reconstituting all of his most iconic works and significant series in a chronological narrative, the retrospective will allow visitors to understand Koons’ remarkably diverse output as a multifaceted whole.
The exhibition travels to the Centre Pompidou, Musée national d’art moderne, Paris (November 26, 2014–April 27, 2015) and to the Guggenheim Bilbao (June 5–September 27, 2015).
A fantastic and truly controversial show from 27th June until 19th October in the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY.

Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller D-Blue Dial Watch Is Tribute To James Cameron Deepsea Challenge 3D Movie


They say important people wear Rolex watches, but how important do you need to be in order to get a special Rolex watch made in your honor? That is something that doesn’t happen very often, and in modern times Rolex has been particularly conservative about their product development process. Rolex may have some of the biggest names in sports on their list of brand ambassadors, but none of those people have received special watches made for them.
 True to its passion for underwater exploration, Rolex took an active part in the historic DEEPSEA CHALLENGE expedition of film-maker and explorer James Cameron (director of Titanic, Avatar) in partnership with the National Geographic Society. On 26 March 2012, the expedition’s submersible descended 10,908 metres (35,787 feet) to reach Challenger Deep, the deepest point in the world’s oceans.

The DEEPSEA CHALLENGER and James Cameron as well  carried an experimental divers’ watch, the ROLEX DEEPSEA CHALLENGE, on its robotic manipulator arm.The timepiece worked perfectly throughout the dive at extreme pressures, confirming Rolex’s position as the leading brand in waterproofness.
 
 On August 4th, 2014 Rolex did something very “un-Rolex” by releasing a new version of a watch not only in the middle of the year (usually all new Rolex watches are released exclusively at the Baselworld trade show in March), but they did so online. The newest Rolex watch as of today is the Rolex Deepsea D-Blue Dial watch. The Deepsea D-Blue Dial diver watch is based on the standard Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea 116660 watch, but has a unique dial that starts blue at the top and using a gradient goes to black. “D-Blue” likely stands for “diving blue” and the color change on the dial is in reference to a very special event. It has a blue and black gradient dial with a vibrant green colored "DEEPSEA" text on the dial. Interestingly enough the reference number for the D-Blue is the same as the standard black-dialed Deepsea.Waterproof to an extreme depth of 3,900 metres (12,800 feet), this new-generation divers’ watch benefits from exclusive innovations developed by Rolex to exceed the most exacting demands of professional divers. The Rolex Deepsea defines new standards of robustness, precision, functionality and reliability. In essence, the Rolex Deepsea is the ultimate Oyster: a watch that defies the elements. Its 44 mm Oyster case, reinforced with the patented Ringlock System, was designed to provide the highest degree of resistance in a size that remains wearable and practical. It is steeped in the pioneering spirit that led Rolex to invent the Oyster and develop, in the 1950s and 1960s, iconic divers’ watches like the Submariner and the Sea‑Dweller.

 The resulting watch is a surprise-release from Rolex with the first dive watch dial with non-straight forward color that will certainly fuel some heated discussions among fans of the brand. No updates yet on pricing or availability for the Rolex Deepsea D-Blue Dial watch, but we do anticipate a slight premium for it over the $12,050 retail price of the standard Deepsea watch. rolex.com

THE NEW LUXURY FASHION BRAND BY NIKI KARTSONA


 Η ελληνική μόδα έχει να επιδείξει καλές περγαμηνές, αλλά πάντα κάτι της έλειπε. Γι' αυτό και μέχρι τώρα ελάχιστα έχουμε αναφέρει για έλληνες σχεδιαστές και δημιουργίες, sur mesure/haute couture/ prêt-à-porter. 
Γιατί όταν έχεις ζήσει  κάμποσο καιρό στο εξωτερικό αρχίζεις να αναζητάς (και στα ρούχα!) την απλότητα με την άνεση, την ποιότητα των υλικών με τη μόδα, την ανανέωση με την διαχρονικότητα, το νεανικό και το χαλαρό με το ώριμο και το κλασικό, το προσιτό χωρίς να είναι ευτελές.
Να λοιπόν που η Νίκη Κάρτσωνα με τη Ν9VE ήρθε να ανταποκριθεί στις απαιτήσεις των καιρών.
Με εμπειρία από τις πασαρέλες και τον τηλεοπτικό χώρο, νυν επιχειρηματίας και διευθύντρια του portal queen.gr , δεν αρκείται στις επώνυμες δημιουργίες που παρουσιάζει στην boutique της Frame, στην Καλαμάτα. 
Μέσα στο φθινόπωρο του 2014, η Νίκη Κάρτσωνα λανσάρει την πρώτη της σειρά ρούχων με το brand Ν9VE δηλαδή nove, o αριθμός 9 στα ιταλικά. Ένας απλός τυχερός αριθμός για να σηματοδοτήσει μια λιτή, all time classic, λίγο rock, λίγο urban, λιγο girlie συλλογή ρούχων με τα βασικά κομμάτια της γκαρνταρόμπας. 
Προσωπικά μου θυμίζει τις επιτυχημένες γαλλικές δημιουργίες της free-spirited Isabel Marant, τα bohemian American Vintage αλλά και με σαφείς αναφορές από τα ροκ παριζιάνικα Zadig et Voltaire.
Αμάνικα σακάκια, μακρυά φορέματα, ολόλευκα πουκάμισα, φαρδιές παντελόνες, ψηλόμεσες φούστες, και φυσικά t-shirts για άντρες και για γυναίκες. 
Ενα brand, Ν9VE,  που αν κρίνουμε από τα πρώτα του δείγματα, στοιχηματίζουμε ότι θα κατακτήσει την ελληνική μόδα, και στο σύντομο μέλλον θα ''περπατήσει'' εύκολα με επιτυχία και στις πασαρέλες και τους δρόμους της ευρωπαϊκής αγοράς...
