Made by our comrade Musashi, this is the box that has anime blood on it. This box will be seen at the "In a box" exhibit, until June 19, Traffic Gallery. Dubai. mushahi 02.mp4 (3.7 MB)
| | It was Thursday night, 12th of June. The "In A Box" exhibit kicked off. I guess everyone was happy, I smelled the fuel of creativity that night. People told us, that alternative/urban art will not persist in this region, again we proved them wrong. Out of the 250 people who confirmed their attendance, 480 flocked their way in the opening night alone. So much buzz in such a short time of preparation.
We congratulate the artists and designers who participated. James, Lina, Vivek, Renata, Avi, Robotandsparks, Diya, Musashi, The Brownmonkeys: Blacksheep, Muhaisnah 4, Artlifeflip, Dozign, Pinkblot, Suavecito, Prettymonkey and Dogboy. Guest artists from Bastard Project and {ths} was there as well. And those other artists that I forgot their names.
Thanks for all the special individuals who managed to get there despite of their busy schedule. You are our heroes actually. Our mentors and creative directors, to Vincent of Tonic. The Cliche Brothers, Vinay and Vivek, and Traffic.
This is one hell of an event. Peace y'all.
More pics to post. Watch out! |

Come june 12th, we'll try our best to indulge you in an art scene that you thought didn't exist here in dubai. We've gone ahed and gathered some of the most brilliantly talented artist that's out there in the local/international scene, to conjure up a massive show that's bound to send you drooling for more. There's going to be the sale of 30 odd limited edition MDF boxes(yeah that's right boxes!), put up for sale (with a very nominal price tag ,we promise.),upon purchase of one of these boxes, you end up with a year's subscription of cliche (+ back copies) and a signed letter of authenticity by the respective artist. There's also going to be a sale of limited ed- canvas and poster prints up for grabs + a wide variety of visuals to keep you occupied :)We're transforming a 7000 sq.mt gallery in to our overy own zine, with an amalgation of some massive creative energy. So do drop by if you're around the vicinity to suck on some lollipops, drool over some boxes, purchase a couple of prints, OR simply just to stare at the random hoax installations we've got going on that night.The exhibit goes on till june 19 2008, so incase you miss out on the opening,do drop by over the weekend.For more info : http://www.viatraffic.org/en/cliche-de-mystifies-urban-underground-art/Traffic/04 431 8494 OR +9177374461www.viatraffic.org/We'll see you all there.thank you for your support.much respect.peace!
A time lapse video of the Dogbox. Done in approximately 23 man hours with a lot of love and mess around. The box was made of MDF board so it was quite heavy. Made of used clothes, accessories and acrylic. I've been thinking of ways how to transform a piece of box (furniture) into a cuddly piece of creature plus the functionality of a furniture. Easy to transport and cute to play with. It serves as a friend as well. If you are in Dubai, I invite you to attend "In A Box: a showcase of boxes, prints, posters and a zine" This is only one box out of the 30 boxes that will be exhibited. Leading local and foreigh artists will be exhibiting their works together with the Brownmonkeys. Exhibit opens on June 12, 2008 7:30 PM until June 19 2008, Traffic Design Gallery.

He reportedly told his owner that he wants to climb the tallest building, Burj Dubai by himself. Tonio left his accomodation in july and when failed to return to his home, a search party was organized.

Sa maikling panunumbalik ng aking kaisipan, nasilayan ko ang mga litrato sa kaibuturan ng aking kaisipan. Mura man at bubot pa, natikman ko ang haplos ng puot at kaligayahang hindi ko matitikman kailanman. Wari’y parang hangin na pabugso-bugso, di malaman kung kailanan muling sisimoy.
Sa likod ng tabing ng katotohanan nakatago ang kulay at yaman ng mundong animo’y pantasya. Dito, labis-labis ang lahat. Mahapdi ang puot at matamis ang ligaya. Sinubukan kong itinuro ang aking daliri sa isang direksyon. Bumaluktot ang aking hintuturo. Dito ang hilaga ay kanluran, ang kanluran ay hilaga. Hindi gumagalaw ang oras, nakatigil ang lahat ng bagay, lumulutang sa langit ng kasarapan.
Sa aking paglalakbay naramdaman ko ang tabang ng katotohanan. Nagbabago ang takbo ng sistema ng aking katawan. Pilit gustong iluwal ang pantasya na kinain. Pero huli na ang lahat. Ngayon ay napapalibutan na ako ng ilaw sa patong-patong na baligtad na hagdan. Bawat isang hagdan ay may pisara, katabi nito ay isang bilog at makipot na pinto. Tumanaw ako paibaba at pailalim. Walang hangganan, walang kapusan.
Sa pagod, naupo ako sa isang sulok, nakatungo. Nagsisilbing ilaw sa aking tabi ay isang gasera na paikot-ikot, walang humpay ang pag-aso ng itim na usok. Nakakabingi ang tunog ng mumunting patak ng tubig na umaalingawngaw sa kadiliman. Sa isang bahagi sa kaliwa, lulumulutang ang mga hubad na lata ng sardinas. Bawat isa ay may katabing gusgusing manika na may hawak na kandila. Patay ang kandila. Sa kanang bahagi naman, nandun ang pulutong ng mga balat na sapatos, nakakapagtaka dahil lahat ng mga ito ay pawing kaliwa lamang. Nagkalat din ang mga laruan na dating kong naging kaibigan. Nandun ang laruan kong si Voltes V, na ngayon ay putol ang ulo. Nagkalat din ang mga laruan kong tau-tauhan, sa aking pagkagulat, putol din lahat ang kanilang mga ulo. At ang aking paburitong kaibigan, kalaro at alaga, si Andak. Natuwa ako dahil nakitingin sya sa aking nakangiti at tumatakbo. Ngunit sa aking pagkagulat, nalaman kong hindi sya gumagalaw sa kanyang kinalalagyan, bukas ang kanyang tiyan at nakatali sa isang tanikala na may nakakabit na dalawang baterya sa dalawang dulo. Napahagulhol ako sa aking nakita. Sigaw ko. “Andak, Andak, Andak!!!!”
Napatungo ulit ako. Sa isang tunog ng syanse na animo’y nagluluto, ako ay napatitig paitaas. Isang talulot ng bulaklak ang lumulutang paibaba ang aking nasilayan. Marahan at may patutunguhan. Samyo ng isang libong rosas ang aking naamoy. Ngiti ang dumapo sa aking mga labi. Puting ilaw ang sumalubong sa tululot patungo sa aking mumunting kamay. Dumapo. Isinara ko ang aking kamay napapalooban ang talulot ng gumamela. Sa isang iglap, isang malakas na pagsabog. Milyong rosas ang umulan galing sa kalangitan. Lumuha ako. Ang aking luha ay umagos papaitaas. Sa hindi maipaliwanag na kaligayan humalandusay ang aking katawan sa papag ng rosas.
Nalanta ang aking katauhan. Umusbong ang bagong pag-asa.
