What is Pecha Kucha Night?
Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture), was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
But as we all know, give a mike to a designer (especially an architect) and you’ll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a† demand that seems to be global – as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over 100 cities across the world. Find a location and join the conversation.

MOCC "Manufactured"

"Manufactured" is a mind blower !

Steven Skov Holt & Mara Holt Skov have provided us with a glimpse of an industrial heaven a design paradise where we all frolic after our bodies have long given up their last breath. And breathless is what I felt leaving the exhibit as if beauty had been reinvented.

Congratulations to Namita Gupta Wiggers who seems to have the golden touch and single handedly has lifted Craft into the limelight of innovation

Hilary Pfeifer and TJ Norris at Museum of Contemporary Craft

Hilary and TJ are two masters in aesthetics on the road to find a common ground to capture beauty in its raw unexpected form. This presentation of seemingly solid objects is like a glimpse into the mystical toy box of a Magician.

This is an extremely satisfying collaboration between two artists who understand their medium and also are able to create a sense of harmony with their environment.

It proofs that beauty exists in the unexpected and that today's contemporary artists don't have to be afraid to create beautiful art to have an emotional impact on the viewer. I am looking forward to Hilary's upcoming show at Ogle.
