• Halcyon days

  Posted 23 January 2012

  To keep my creative juices flowing I fancied popping to see the Hockey exhibition at the The Royal Academy of Arts. Attempting this on a Saturday proved foolish, the queue resembled a Selfridges Boxing Day sale massacre – Hockney was aborted. Happily I then stumbled upon the Halcyon Gallery while strolling down Bond Street. This fantastic gallery, spread across three beautiful venues on Bond Street and Berkeley Square had a rich mix of artists from Matisse and Warhol to the fantasy worlds created by Chihuly.

  

  The best room in any of the spaces belonged to the Bruton Street venue. Roped off from public view, the room was even more enchanting. Whilst teetering over the barrier I was politely asked to wind my neck in and then informed by very friendly staff that I could enter the room — maybe she thought I was going to purchase a piece..? The room was the office of the galleries director and inside were two Monet's, a Picasso, a Lowry and a Mauro Perucchetti sculpture.

  

  Windows are so 2011.

• World of talent

  Posted 13 October 2011

  Last week Michail, Dan and I visited WorldSkills London 2011, the largest ever international skills competition and careers event — and I have to admit we were blown away!

  Bisqit is currently engaged in branding projects in the education sector and WorldSkills London was the perfect opportunity to immerse ourselves in this world. When we weren’t brushing up on our DJ Skills at the City & Guilds stand or checking out the handiwork of some of the best young hairstylists from around the world (my home country NZ were represented), we were busy being inspired by the breadth of talent and the opportunities available to the young people of this nation.

• Bisqit go Dutch

  Posted 1 June 2011

  A lucky few from Bisqit managed to pop out of the studio on a lovely sunny morning to check out the fantastic 'Wim Crouwel — A Graphic Odyssey' exhibition at the Design Museum. Crouwel is arguably most famous for the space age designs he created in the 60's, with his typography making a comeback in the late 80's and 90's, seen on album covers and club posters galore.

  I personally found great delight in some of his later work, the first corporate identities created by Crouwel and his colleagues at Total Design. Identity systems for companies such as Makro and Randstad that Total Design created nearly 40 years ago still remain untouched today. Loving this shot of the members of the Total Design group, 1982, you know these guys mean business. 

  Strictly no snaps allowed inside the exhibition so you can't see any exciting pictures of Bisqit purring over Crouwel's and Total Design's awesome back catalogue. We did still need evidence that we had left the studio so we got a shot of these ancient coke guidelines at the small coke promo pop up outside the gallery!

• Postcards from Bisqit

  Posted 15 February 2011

  The Bisqits set off on a cultural outing and found these – ‘Postcards from Vegas’ by Rob and Nick Carter, an exhibition at The Fine Art Society. The artists have juxtaposed postcards they collected in the 60s and 70s with remade miniature neon signs from Las Vegas. The combination creates some very interesting and sometimes amusing compositions.

  Running with the theme is Gilbert & George’s ‘Urethra Post Card Art’ at White Cube. It comprises 564 pieces made up of souvenir postcards and massage calling cards the artists have collected over 40 years. The cards are arranged in sets of thirteen to form the symbol of the urethra. The pieces are arranged into seven groups each based on a theme from British landmarks to selling sex – each piece curious it its own right and striking from a distance.
