The Little Weakling is looking for Daddy in Berlin
With Antie Agula and an Adoption Questionnaire we went to that marvelous city of Berlin, to find a right father for our little darling. There was quite a bunch of interested and Adequate man but our first and the last choice was tender and properly dressed up JOEL of Brazilian origin. Auntie Agula rewarded him with her Polish cake to Asimilate all of the 3 nations and tore the photo of recanted past-father up.
The performance took place in ACUD,Berlin during the Month of Performance on 11th of May; big thanks to Joern Burmester (coordinator of MPA). More pics from the whole event here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpa-berlin/sets/72157629833852292/

A collaboration of San Francisco-based band
Seventeen Evergreen with Oakland-based directing maestros Corey Creasey and Ian
Kibbey – aka Terri Timely –
for Polarity Song has resulted in something remarkable and beautiful –
with the crucial input of Ian and Corey’s (SF-based) artist
friend Sarah Applebaum.
Applebaum’s medium of
choice are textiles to make ‘soft
sculptures’ – put to brilliant use in the Timely’s creation of a very woolly and colourful alternate universe within
a drab, cavernous thrift store (probably somewhere in the Bay Area). Stephen
Richards of Lucky Number calls it “the best video we’ve
ever commissioned.”

Magda Sayeg
Ruch knit graffiti zainicjowała kilka lat temu Amerykanka Magda Sayeg w rodzinnym Houston w Teksasie.
W 2006 r. ubrała w skarpetę przęsło mostu w Seattle i drzewa w parku. Owłóczkowała znaki drogowe w Los Angeles, latarnie i drogowskazy w Mexico City, balustrady i hydranty w Houston, parkometry i uchwyty w autobusach w Nowym Jorku. Potem rozpoczęła desant na inne kontynenty. Włóczkowe graffiti tworzyła już w Paryżu (jedna z monumentalnych rzeźb przed Palais de Chaillot na placu Trocadéro dostała wełnianą skarpetę), Wenecji, Mediolanie, Londynie, Kolonii, Sydney, a nawet w Chinach (zostawiła wełnianą vlepkę na jednym z kamieni w Wielkim Murze).
Najbardziej spektakularne dzieło przygotowywała przez tydzień w Mexico City - włóczką oplotła autobus. - Nie obchodzi mnie, że w każdej chwili mogę zostać aresztowana. Nie ma mowy, bym opuściła jakiekolwiek miasto bez pozostawienia po sobie śladu - mówiła Sayeg w wywiadach. Jak dotąd nikt jej nie aresztował.

Considered to be the mother of yarn bombing, Magda's work has evolved to include the knitted/crocheted covered bus in Mexico City, as well as her first solo exhibit in Rome at La Museo des Esposizione in the summer of 2010 . She continues to lead community-based projects and works on commissions around the world with companies such as Absolut Vodka, Madewell, Insight 51, Mini Cooper, and Smart Car as well as participating in shows at Milan's Triennale Design Museum, Le M.U.R. in Paris, and the National Gallery of Australia, among others. Her installations have also been featured prominently at American monuments to contemporary culture, such as The Standard Hotel, South By Southwest, and the Austin City Limits Festival. Magda has most recently expanded her artwork to encompass new mediums and techniques as with her solo show in Rome which explored the usage of lighting with knitted material. She continues to expand her boundaries by joining integrated media company 1stAveMachine as one of their directors which will serve as a platform for new types of experimentation and collaboration.

Recent projects include an installation covering the AC ductwork of Etsy.com’s headquarters in Brooklyn and the soon to be completed installation at the Williamsburg Bridge with the NYC Department of Transportation.

Agata „Olek” Oleksiak
Agata „Olek” Oleksiak to jedna z najbardziej znanych na świecie artystek street artu - artystek niezwykłych, bo wszystkie swoje prace tworzy z kolorowej włóczki na szydełku!
W swojej karierze artystycznej dziergała już „ubranka” dla samochodów, instrumentów muzycznych, ludzi a nawet statui byka – symbolu Wall Street. Wytrwale uprawia włóczkowy street art, dziergając pokrowce na elementy architektury miejskiej – ławki, znaki drogowe, latarnie. Sama mówi, że gdy już zacznie, to ciężko ją powstrzymać i ostatnie osiem lat spędziła pokrywając przędzą wszystko.
Dziś knit graffiti jest rozpatrywane w kategoriach sztuki. Często nazywane jest "nową formą street artu", jego "feministyczną alternatywą".
Nazywana często "Banksy'm w spódnicy" w swojej twórczości często nawiązuje do prac takich artystów jak Banksy, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns czy Invader.

Russia has been in the news lately for its government’s stance against gay rights, and Olek (who is featured in our forthcoming issue, Hi-Fructose Vol. 29) was abhorred. “The recent government decision regarding gay rights in Russia made me want to boycott the country,” she wrote on her Huffington Post blog. But after some consideration, Olek boarded a plane to St. Petersburg with God-knows-how-many pounds of camouflage crocheted fabric. Her mission was to swathe the facade of Galeria, a huge downtown shopping center, with a crochet rainbow as a pro-LGBTQ message that anyone could appreciate on an aesthetic level. Olek sent over some photos of the creation of “Russia’s Pride.”
