Momentan finden zwei unterschiedliche Ausstellungen in zwei verschiedenen Städten in Deutschland statt, welche einem guten Zweck dienen. Die Hear the World Foundation präsentiert in Hamburg die Ausstellung „Chances“ und in Berlin „Give“, bei welchen beiden der Erlös der Werke an ein Hilfswerk geht.
In Hamburg werden faszinierende Portrait-Fotografien des Fotografen Philipp Rathmer gezeigt, der im Mai 2011 zusammen mit dem Sänger und Songwriter Patrick Nuo nach Nairobi, Kenia gereist war. Patrick Nuo hatte dort eine Patenschaft der Hear the World Foundation übernommen, bei welcher das Ziel darin lag, Kindern mit Hörverlust die Chance auf ein normales Leben zu ermöglichen. Es enstanden eindrückliche und starke Bilder der Kinder, die berühren. Bis zum 27. November 2011 wird „Chances“ in der Flo Peters Gallery noch in Hamburg gezeigt.
In Berlin werden in der Circleculture Gallery Bilder von den verschiedensten Künstlern wie Terry Richardson, XOOOOX, Raymond Pettibon, Jaybo Monk, Larry Clark, Katrin Fridriks, Harmony Korine, Jonathan Yeo, Stefan Strumbel, JR, David Shrigley, Aaron Rose oder Ed Templeton gezeigt, die ebenfalls verkauft werden. Der Erlös der verkauften Werke geht direkt an das Amani Waisenhaus in Mbigili in Tansania. Die Ausstellung ist noch bis zum 24. Januar 2012 zu besichtigen.
Freshly released today is the newest EP from mastermind James Blake, entitled “Enough Thunder”. Six amazing tracks follow after his debut release back in February which already made him rise to music heaven. And the best of all: we can listen to a full album stream right here, over and over again. For all us Europeans we’ll need to wait till October 10th when the good stuff will hit iTunes for us to shop delights. Second best thing: Blake will hit Hamburg, Berlin, Köln and Frankfurt from November 15th-19th. Make sure you get your ticket if you’re not too late alredy!
With an all new black-hair-look, miss “I’m pregnant and look stunning” Beyonce Knowles, hits us up with her latest video to her single “Countdown” off the “4″ album. 60’s mod styling meets a color splash in a what looks like to be a modern Audrey Hepburn tribute. Check it out!
Last but not least sound master A-Trak pays tribute to the passed away French mega-influencer DJ Mehdi with a 7min. track entitled “How Deep Is Your Love?”. He explains: I did this remix over the summer, and when I was close to finishing it I played it to my friend, the irreplaceable DJ Mehdi. We often played each other our productions for feedback. As it turns out he and Riton were visiting New York so they stopped by my apartment. I was working on the main version of the remix, the vocal version. I knew I would make a few alternate edits during the mixdown. The funny thing was, Mehdi’s favorite part was the ending! He and Riton suggested that I have that part come in earlier. My reaction was: that would work well for the dub version. And sure enough, when I finished mixing it down I made a dub with their suggestion. When I sent it to Mehdi shortly after, he responded (as a joke) that I should call it “Dub For Mehdi”. He included it in his “Tunisian Summer” mix. And then, as we all know, the unimaginable happened and we lost our dear friend. The least I can do now is name the edit after him. This one’s for you, Memed.
For six consecutive days the whole Mono Concept Store in Hamburg will be hot-spot for ACNE’s sample & clearance sale! Getting rid of show-samples, selected classics and previous season pieces, the extent of the offered delights and pricing will be definitely more than tempting.

Oh Monki, why why why don’t you exist in Berlin? Who told you to choose Hamburg and Essen to be your German hot-spots? Yes, we are a little jealous, neighbours, but hey…no hard feelings!
From today, you’ll be able to enjoy the new February releases of Monki’s styles, featured in the latest appearing lookbook “Monki Mirror Movement”. The shots titled with cool names like “Moonwalking”, “The Great Escapre” or “Collision Dancing”, were captured by Aorta from LundLund and literally feature a gravity issue. Stripes & prints, oversize laying and socks mixed with sandal wedges in blue’s, red’s and basic grey’s are the base of this upcoming first part of the Spring Summer 2011 collection.
Another highlight to mention from beloved Monki, is their Spring Summer 2011 presentation through a set of collectible cards designed and illustrated by absolutely over-talented Lina Ekstrand, featuring two of their main collection lines for the upcoming warmer days: Undercover and Denim Kind of Girl.
Undercover stands for sharp tailoring and uniform-like designs in pale nude’s and blood red’s, for a complete industrial look. Denim Kind of Girl will return to a vintage 90’s feel, in which indigo’s meet basic soft-washed cotton shirts.
Enough is enough- now you may rub it into our faces & head to your nearest store!
Check out the rest of Mirror Movement & Lina Ekstrand’s cards after the click!
