CABBAGE AND ART: JU DUOQI

Genius of a young Chinese artist. Ju Duoqi is not new in the use of food to create her works. The vegetables were the star, but now is the time of the cabbage. Her new project is called "The fantasies of Chinese cabbage." Only Chinese cabbage!!!
Cabbage come to life to become dolls, or emulation icons such as Marilyn Monroe, and Lady Gaga. It's pure creativity that liberates the imagination. Even the famous paintings of Van Gogh, Da Vinci and Warhol are played with colorful vegetables.
She uses a knife to slice the different colours and varieties of cabbage and holds them together using toothpicks. The cabbage is left to age for varying lengts of time.
Every piece of the sculpture is made from the vegetable, including their clothes, hats and jewellery.

ENCHANTED PALACE-LONDON- (BEFORE SEEING)


"We really wanted to try something completely different that gave us a way to take a fresh look at the palace's history and the lives of the people who lived here" "We want people to connect with the emotions." Alexandra Kim, one of the curators of the exhibition.


Stephen Jones, Boudicca, Vivienne Westwood...create installations using "incredible and dramatic stories of the people who lived in the palace as the springboard." I'm really excited and I look forward to admiring the magic of these installations to be able to tell, and try to pass something that will surely have an high emotional impact.

DAPHNE GUINNESS PERFORMANCE IN THE BARNEYS NEW YORK WINDOWS

Undressing, dressing, walking... be smart, emotional. A performance staged in the windows of Barneys before the MET gala.
Daphne Guinness's grace permeates and involves. Humanly theatrical.
