Twin Factory magazine at Gentlemen of Bacongo opening
Hoxton Live.com
The second opening was at a ‘project space’ on Redchurch Street made available by the property developer Londonewcastle. On show–to a massive, enthusiastic crowd, many of whom had queued in the cold–were photographs by Daniele Tamagni recording the stunning dandyism of Sapeurs, a little documented sub-culture of the Bakongo, a demography focused in the urban spread of Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo. The exhibition has come from Paris and supports Tamagni’s book, Gentlemen of Bacongo, published by Trolley Books. The pictures shock several times through. The first is sheer gorgeousness of the outfits, colour-coded, designer goods, loud, assertive, but always elegant. For all the density and clamour, there are rules ensuring simplicity: formality is absolute, only three colours are allowed. Gentlemen of Bacongo The next shock is the self-realisation that images of such exuberance are never seen in the context of Africans in Africa. Beauty, truth, insight, tenderness, aggression, understanding–there is plenty of emotion in African art, in the musical cultures, to take one example, of Lagos and Soweto. But never exuberance, a wild, careless, in love with the joy of life. And then you see the Africa you expect, the images we associate with placenames like Brazzaville, the deep poverty, the widespread squalor. The contrast between the landscapes of despair and the clothes of happiness is the story of these men–they are all men–whose philosophy is that eating is for the fickle: looking good is life.

Andre 3000 must have taken a page or two out of 'Gentlemen of Bacongo' (Trolley Books), a new book by Daniele Tamagni that celebrates a group of dandies in the most unlikely of style capitals – the heart of the Congo Republic. The culture of La SAPE, La Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes, began when the country was ruled by the French and the local men began to adopt a little European flair. The sapeurs, as they are known, spiff themselves up with colorful tailored suits, fedoras and the occasional cigar – it's more English aristo than Iceberg Slim pimp daddy.

The Limit - screening at Chelsea College of Art - Thursday 29th October
Laureana Toledo, the artist of new artist publication The Limit will be screening the film of the work at Chelsea College of Art, from 5.15pm. From 6pm the artist will be in conversation with D=Gavin Wade,the director of Eastside Projects, Birmingham.
Location: Lecture Theatre - Chelsea College of Arts and Design
Laureana Toledo introduces her fan documentary on The Limit – a (fictional) "Sheffield band from Mexico". Followed by a conversation with curator Gavin Wade.
'As a response to the commission of doing a piece of art in Sheffield addressed to an imaginary spectator that hates art, I decided to put together a cover band that would only play covers from bands from Sheffield – Pulp, Def Leppard, Human League, ABC, Joe Cocker and the Arctic Monkeys. The line up would be a very simple one: drums, guitar, bass, and a singer who played a little electronic piano. The band is named after a cult club in Sheffield, where most of the original bands had played, and that shut its doors in 1992; its members are musicians from four of the most important groups from the Mexican rock scene – Bengala, Zoé, DiscoRuido and Café Tacvba.
Very few people in England know of these bands. People in Mexico know lots of Sheffield bands (and from Birmingham, and from Manchester, and from Bristol…). Disguised as a 30 minute fan documentary, and accompanied by the publication of an artist book disguised as a magazine, The Limit investigates how information and pop culture are digested, how colonialism is still activating our fantasies and expectations, and how the secondary role of women around rock bands is funnily reversed.'

Paul Smith Goes Congolese For Fashion Week - londonfashionweek.com
London Art Book Fair at Whitechapel gallery - booksigning with Robin Maddock and Iain Sinclair for 'Our Kids Are Going to Hell' - Sunday 27th September 3.30pm
Paul Smith gives collection a Congolese makeover - By GREGORY KATZ (AP)
LONDON – Celebrated designer Paul Smith took London Fashion Week on a side trip to Africa Monday night with a startling show inspired by styles worn by young men in the Congo.
Smith, who made his name in colorful menswear, adapted the way musicians in the Bacongo region wear brightly colored suits with beautiful accessories and turned it into an unusual women's wear collection.
The first model set the scene, looking androgynous in a bright pink suit with red lining and a red bowler hat. Others followed in bright colors, with pink a dominant theme for the first part of the show, which was met with thunderous applause in the ballroom of the elegant Claridge's hotel.
After the show, Smith – beaming with pleasure – said he got the ideas from "The Gentlemen of Bacongo," a book of photos depicting the dress of the dandies there.
"When you look at these guys, they are just magical," he said, "The pocket handkerchiefs, the ties, the cufflinks, the watches, everything. They dress in an amazing, amazing smart way, and their attention to detail is fantastic. They are so passionate about dressing beautifully"
He said the show reflected his desire to mesh various traditions from different parts of the world.
"We used lots of prints, very optimistic colors, African prints. I love mixing all the fashions together," he said.
The women's suits were cut with very narrow shoulders and a long, slim style. Colors were uniformly bright. Many of the dresses mixed several patterns together, and hems were often asymmetrical.
Smith also used hot pants to set off many outfits.
The designer's bold use of color extended to the models' lipstick – many wore a blue-green shade that stood out sharply against their pale makeup. Others wore bright red. Smith, one of Britain's most prominent designers, said he was pleased that London Fashion Week is celebrating its 25th anniversary with the return of some other well known talents who have not shown in London in recent years.
Paul Smith London Fashion Week Show - inspired by Gentlemen of Bacongo
By Tim Blanks on Style.com
When Paul Smith laid eyes on Gentlemen of Bacongo, a vivid new celebration of the fashion-obsessed Congolese dandies called sapeurs, he was too inspired to wait for his next menswear show. He immediately modeled his women's collection for Spring 2010 around Daniele Tamagni's photos. In fact, the book's cover was reproduced for the first look: a scaled-down pink suit, orange striped shirt, and red shoes, topped off by an orange bowler. That vivid sapeur-iste palette juiced up the show, and the menswear theme kept circling around, in a banker-striped shirt extended into a full dress, say, or the tan suit worn over checked waistcoat, collar, and tie.

John Hoyland: Blood on the canvas, by a modern master
The Independent
Friday 25 April, 2008
John Hoyland has been called Europe's answer to Mark Rothko. On a visit to his London studio, Esther Walker discovers why the celebrated painter has turned to Robert Fisk of The Independent for inspiration in his latest artworks.
"I borrow anything from anything," says the artist John Hoyland. "I'll borrow from other people's work, nature, flowers - anything." In his latest exhibition, Greetings of Love, Hoyland borrows from a more unlikely source, perhaps: a photograph of blood-spatter on the floor of a hospital in Lebanon, accompanied by a piece, about the 33-day conflict in Lebanon and northern Israel in 2006, by The Independent's Robert Fisk.
"I've always liked Robert Fisk's writing and I admire him. I thought the piece that he had written was rather moving, and I looked at the photograph that went with it and it looked just like one of my paintings." The piece, published in August 2007, was a reflection on the previous year's war in Lebanon and, in part, a review of the book Double Blind by the Italian photographer Paolo Pellegrin.
Pellegrin's picture, taken in Tyre's main hospital, shows a large splash of blood on the black-and-white tiled floor of a hospital; the victim had been badly injured in an Israeli rocket attack on 6 August, 2006.
"I hate wars," reads Fisk's piece. "I was thinking this over as I pawed through Double Blind, from which these photographs are taken. Its terrible, rage-filled, blood-spattered pages are an awful memory to me of last year's war in Lebanon."
The resulting work by Hoyland is a powerful, richly coloured image, with the artist's trademark layers of thick paint, rivers of colour running down the canvas, and his nerve-cell-like central focus. But Hoyland insists that the piece is not deliberately political.
"I don't see Lebanon as a political piece, although the title would indicate that. I was simply struck by the constant threat to people living in the Middle East and the sheer horror of the things that happen. I suppose my sympathies would always be with the victims and the underdog, so I suppose in that way it is political."

Philip Jones Griffiths will talk at the Frontline club in London on his legendary work covering the conflict in Viet Nam, and his work continuing to photograph the country for over twenty five years after the war had ended.
Agent Orange - Collateral Damage in Viet Nam (Trolley, 2003) depicts the horror of birth deformities in Viet Nam that continue to this day, as an effect of the deadly poison dioxon dropped within 'agent orange' defoliant sprays during the conflict.
Viet Nam at Peace (Trolley, 2005) shows Viet Nam over two decades since the day Americans left the country. With a foreword by John Pilger, who like Griffiths arrived in Viet Nam in 1966, he writes 'Griffiths is the one who showed us Viet Nam as a country, not as a war.'

Photographer Thomas Dworzak, was on an assignment for the magazine U.S. News & World Report, accompanying the 44th and 50th U.S. Army Medical Command for this report. An exhibition which has not been seen before in France (it was presented in New York last June), which mixes references to the series M*A*S*H (screen captures and quotations) and photographs by Thomas Dworzak, taken in Iraq between 2003 and 2005.
M*A*S*H: After the success of the controversial Robert Altmann film called M*A*S*H in 1970, American television channel CBS broadcasted 11 seasons of the series of the same name. From 17th September 1972 to 21st February 1983 (and in particular during the peak of the war in Vietnam) American television provided its viewers each week with a poignant and sometimes cutting critique of war, although the slightly rebellious tone of the series was considerably toned down towards the end, a period which coincided with the first years of the Reagan administration.
At first sight, the subject of M*A*S*H is the daily lives of a medical unit in the American army during the Korean War. But the real object of this satire is the Vietnam War. Today, although the Iraq war has given rise to unprecedented levels of chaos, many of the problems raised in M*A*S*H are still very topical, but no television series now looks at them.

Mr Mkhize was chosen to be in the Best Book Exhibition at the Festival of the Photograph, Charlottesville. USA.
The Festival of the Photograph, an annual event celebrating photography, launched its first year in Charlottesville, Virginia, on June 7-9, 2007. For the occasion, Charlottesville’s historic downtown was transformed into a photographic space with exhibitions, master classes, interviews, outdoor screenings, and special events. Several thousand photographers, photography curators and photography enthusiasts from around the world attended. The festival is a not-for-profit event and this year featured the work of Sally Mann, Eugene Richards and William Albert Allard, among others.
The festival also included an exhibition of the best photography books published in recent years. The books were displayed in the former Innisfree space located at the Jefferson Theater in the center of Charlottesville. The exhibition was a touch, feel, and read experience - but most of all was a celebration of book-making. Upon conclusion of the festival, the books were housed in a library in Charlottesville and made available for educational purposes.

NEW RELEASE Mario Mandala - Colouring Book
Mario Mandala - Colouring Book
Mario Tauchi
Released Europe Mid April 2007
Released US End of April 2007
Mario Tauchi invites you to join a transcendental trip through the deepest parts of the artist’s brain with his incredible Mario-mandalas, 108 free-floating cosmic forms in white space, that the reader brings the final dimension to by colouring them in.
Psychiatrist Carl Jung saw the mandala as “a representation of the unconscious self,” and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional states and disorders and work towards wholeness in personality. For Jung, this identification of the id, and its transience, was a fundamental tool in his understanding of personality.
Dynamically, this volume of Mario-mandalas goes beyond a passive recognition of the intricate mandala designs, leading readers to develop their own interpretation of their personality and contribute towards the entity of the mandala form. Once a mandala has been coloured in it can be detached from the book, as each becomes a unique work of art that has been created in their own design, the final mandala is thus a creation of personal interaction with the artist, and a wider connection with the universal language of colour and shape through the unconscious.
This book can appeal to nearly anyone with an interest in art either as a technique or as a finished work, and to adults and children alike, as the mandalas return generous rewards, regardless of technical ability.
