luxe vending machine
woryh a look….
Designed by Mari Balestrazzi, the Semi-Automatic is a vending machine designed for the Morgans Hotel Group. The design deals with the idea of a hotel gift shop, but instead of selling souveniers like a gift shop, or soda and candy like a vending machine, it sells a variety of luxe items curated by Kim Walker, the hotel group’s creative director. Items vary from 24-karat gold handcuffs from Kiki de Montparnasse, luxury cars for rent (a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow or 2000 Bentley Azure convertible), Fred Flare heart sunglasses, a 14-karat gold necklace by Kiel Mead, and Atari classics for Playstation.
Right now this toungue-in-cheek item is living in the Marcel Wanders-design Mondrian South Beach hotel in Miami.

Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art is proud to present to showcase a collection of new work by Veng of Robots Will Kill. Veng’s trademark characters have long been seen on the street of many east coast cities in particular the New York City borough of Brooklyn he calls home.
About the Artist:
Originally from Staten Island, NY, Veng joined Robots Will Kill four years ago. About a year ago, he adapted his character series, lending his unique touch to the streets of NYC. As graffiti culture uses letters as a means of framework for their art, Veng attempts to morph his individual characters to become an ironic statement that blurs the line between fantasy and reality. Heavily influenced by the Flemish masters of the 15th century, he tries to capture the figurative emotions of the era, reworked within his own unique twist. Through doing so, Veng’s characters warp time and space, adding a modern view of centuries past, or vice versa. His ambition rests within the ability to capture a moment in an alternate history and reinterpret it as to where the viewer becomes immersed within the art and feels as if they are a part of the story.

the art of Guy Denning
guy denning: “Ad Nausea”
Picture this – the end of a private view of a group show including the works of Guy Denning. A woman walks in to the gallery carrying too many Tesco’s shopping bags. “How can I buy the piece in the window?” she asks. Walking past the gallery she’d seen the large Denning drawing from across the road and was drawn to cross over. Ten minutes later, she was in the gallery saying “I love it and have to have it.” It later transpired that she had never heard of Denning, had never bought an artwork before, but was still more than happy to hand over more than a grand to own the piece.
This is the magic of Guy Denning. His work seems to exert a powerful hold on a wide range of viewers. The secret of his success lies in the impressive iconic faces that he paints. These images are not so much about personality but more about an implacable nature. Many of the faces appear to have survived some catastrophic or traumatic event and seem stronger for it. They are ageless and timeless. Despite their darkness in both coloring and surface affect, there is a very positive energy about them that holds the attention and makes you want to linger.
See more of Denning’s work in his upcoming solo show Ad Nausea at Signal Gallery in London from March 27th – April 18th, 2009. More at www.guydenning.org
