Over a duration of 11 days, '13 Rooms' sees over 140 'live' sculptures recreate works from 13 international and local artists as curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, co-director of London’s Serpentine Gallery and Klaus Biesenbach, Director of MoMA PS1 in New York.

Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui + Antony Gormley + 17 Shaolin Monks
London Champ contributor Arran Gregory visits the marvellous performance.
"I've always been a keen martial arts fan ever since starting TaeKwon Do at the age of 7. Bruce Lee was my Idol growing up and the Shaolin monks were practically a supreme race in my eyes.
Sutra consists of 17 Warrior monks from the Shaolin Monastery carefully choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and the very familiar sculptor Antony Gormley.
Having come from a youth spent obsessed with Martial Arts, I had seen the Shaolin Monks when I was about 10 years old at their Wheel of Fortune performance back in primary school. Back then the show blew my mind but in Sutra there are so many more levels thrown into the mix.
From an artistic perspective Gormley's sculpture consisted of 17 wooden boxes which the Monks interacted with throughout the performance as if playing with giant Lego bricks. Larbi and the Monks turned the boxes into a fortress, a giant lotus flower, beds, a sailboat and larger than life dominoes. The creativity choreographed between Larbi, the monks and the wooden boxes was so playfully expressed it held a strong candle to Gormley's fascination with the human body and it's relationship with space. It reminded me of when I saw his Event Horizon back in 2007 at Southbank.
The music was composed by Szymon Brzoska and played a massive roll in the performance. Alongside the lighting the music really added so much in terms of building energy and creating emotion. For me personally, it was like walking round an art gallery with a live orchestra playing a live score to my favourite Kung fu film of all time simultaneously. So rad."

'Gin & Juice' group show
Ivory & Black Soho proudly presents “Gin & Juice,” a group exhibition featuring new work by: Andrew Schoultz, Cleon Peterson, James Jean (featured above), Richard Colman and Ryan Travis Christian.
The first group exhibition at Ivory & Black and the first time all of these artists are brought together in London, this marks an exciting time for the contemporary art scene. “Gin & Juice” celebrates the start of summer with fresh works from this troupe of young artists. In a visual playground, the vibrancy of these works questions the perception of the world around us. Ranging from the macabre to the playful and bright, the underlying humor in their works is a glimpse into the Californian subcultures they hail from. Steeped in dreamlike yet dark imagery, the work displays a sense of idealistic naivety but also deals with issues of sexuality, violence and disorder.
Opening reception with the artists: June 15, 6-9PM

The Independent Photography Festival 2012, an inaugural celebration of Independent Photography, its application, and practice. An initiative of Hard Workers Club, IPF 2012 will be comprised of a series of exhibition openings featuring Australian Photographers, a two-day Photo Book & Zine Fair, and an internationally open Photo Prize, utilising the best of what Melbourne has to offer as host for these events.
Whilst we're eternally grateful to The Internet for the infinite platform it gives us to connect, collaborate, and communicate as creatives, we feel that for too long an altogether analogue, manual, and physical practice has seen the best products of its prolificacy confined to blogs, dedicated websites, and the internet.
IPF hopes to bring together the living, breathing artists and creatives that form the lifeblood of our diverse and inclusive discipline to reclaim photography for the hard-working, autonomous, passionate, and progressive photographers, creating for the love of shooting and shooting for the love of creating.

Collaborating with Comme des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto, Roversi is one of the most esteemed fashion photographers to this day.
His images are both breath-taking and bewildering. Capturing the most beautiful women amongst a grey backdrop, the images really have a French feel which perhaps is not the intention, but what attracts us to them. It is Roversi's first solo exhibition at The Wapping Project Bankside, and it is able to be viewed until the 31st March.
The Opening Reception was held on the night of the 2nd. The crowd attractive, the champagne aplenty - the afternoon was a positive and successful start to an important show.

There are a million things going on during London Fashion Week, so that's why you need to be wise how you spend your time. Of course it is a great reason to see the new collection out, a sneak peek before everyone else.
TOUBA London is holding their showroom in Lazarides Gallery, just on Rathbone Place in W1, on show at the moment at Lazarides Gallery is Antony Micallef. Fun and cheeky, his work impresses. The effort he puts into the exhibition surrounding is impressive even more. Find his work in the background of each image.
Touba are brilliant, and one to keep an eye on. Distributors who hand-select everything themselves, owners Trevor, Fode and Yuko hold a wealth of knowledge from their respective backgrounds making them ahead of the game. Partnering with Lazarides for their showroom just reflects their clever concepts.
A handsome collection including Casely-Hayford, Moo Piyasombatkul, Giuliano Fujiwara and Bunney Jewellery just to name a few.
An beautifully unique space to see with equally stunning pieces, available upon kind appointment with Yuko here and here.
Ala Champfest Issue #004 is dropping oh so soon, keep on it - thicker and bigger (!) again in our limited run.

It's gonna be something for you to keep on your shelf for a long time to come, don't miss owning it.

What if there was a way to organise your creative mind? Champ contributor Christina Apostolidis attends the latest Portable Talks, and discovers Scott Belsky has the answer to this seemingly unsolvable mystery.
ON WEDNESDAY 24 August Belsky spoke at ACMI as part of the Portable Talks lecture series, to a room full of Melbourne’s leading creatives looking for secret tips. Scott Belsky is one inspirational guy! Looking smart and casual in his striped shirt and jeans, Belsky spoke in a relaxed and friendly manner about 'making ideas happen'. Considering his informal appearance, you would never guess that Scott Belsky has achieved so much. He is CEO and founder of the Behance Network, The 99%, and the Action Method, and has even written a book entitled Making Ideas Happen. He has a wealth of knowledge for someone so young (he is only 30!) and his understanding of the way creative people work is what makes him so successful.
Belsky knows that ideas can come about at any time, but in order to make them happen, you need to write them down, work out a timeline and plan action steps. It sounds obvious but for a lot of creative people, in particular creative teams, it's not necessarily the way things work; with too many ideas in the one place, the good ones need to be sorted from the bad.
When it may seem like you are becoming overwhelmed by your own creativity, Belsky provides solutions such as an online portfolio for your work, a simple note taking system, or a way to organise your timeline of tasks. Belsky encourages creativity and believes that the best talent should be matched with the best opportunity. An organised creative team can produce greatness, or even world domination; look at what Apple have achieved!!

Destroy to Create
Last weekend saw the re-opening of the 1948 Store, just off Batemans Row - in celebration of the NSW Destroyer Jacket set to be released.
Nike know how to throw a party. They got some new and creative people involved - such as British jewellery-designer Duffy, the guys at Frith St Tattoo, Harry Malt and Tim Barber, design studio I Heart Pop and DMC World Team Champions DJ Kireek.
UK hardcore band, Gallows, performed while Super Heavyweight Champion Kina Malpartida and Lissett Medl entertained everyone with a good match.
Duffy carved a skull from professional cyclist Mark Cavendish's bicycle parts - whilst his carbon frame and forks were left for display. They even flew out Wonka and Kai from the States which was cool. Kai was reppin the new Destroyer jacket - which you can also customise with different patches (so far only available in the States). Duo DJ Kireek were definitely the highlight of the night for me. Brilliant.

An art show inspired by the bicycle.
Curated by Brendt Barbur & Monique Kawecki
Special thanks to Camden Town Brewery for providing beverages for the event!
Bicycle Film Festival is proud to announce itʼs London opening of the 2010
Joyride Art Show, its annual bicycle-inspired group exhibition that brings
together the diverse talents of internationally established and emerging UK
artists over a shared passion for the bicycle.
The BFF has been creating connections between art and the bikes since
2000. Joyride has been an evolution of this initial idea to showcase bikes and
art together. The first official Joyride show, in 2005, was born from the
urgency to create a visual manifestation of one of the most powerful and
culturally relevant movements of this decade: the urban bike movement.
Joyride travels the world every year from its premiere in New York, including
stops in LA, Paris, London and Milan. In each city, the show picks up artists
from the art and bike communities, capturing the locationʼs unique energy.
This yearʼs edition features photographs from Spike Jonze, presenting BMX
photos from the era of "The Birth of Big Air” (screening at the BFF Friday Oct
15, 7:30pm); Edwin De la Rosa, one of the best BMX street-riders in the
world, developed his first photos ever for Joyride depicting the sweaty street
spirit from years as a rider who is always doing something worth watching.
The London show also specially features some UK Talent such as Ben
Wilson, D*Face, and Word To Mother.
Full list of featured Artists (in alphabetical order):
Adi Gilbert / Agathe Snow / Alessandro Zuek Simonetti / Ben Broomfield
/ Ben Wilson / Benedict Radcliffe / Brendan Bock / Brian Barnhart /
Chad Moore / Christian Thormann / Conrad Johnson / Camille McMillan /
D*face / DefGrip/Cult/Oakley / Dustin Klein / Edwin De La Rosa / Eley
