A very sharp exhibition like the tip of a sword we have to expect from Jim Houser. Member and founder or Space 1026 collective, Jim is at its first personal exhibition in Italy, after Philadelphia, San Francisco, Miami and New York.

In his tangled wall installations, physical space become a container of encoded thoughts and symbols which Jim Houser transfers on media and sculptures painted in wood, stone and clay. Recognizable and everyday objects moved from their conventional use and revised in a funny narration, just adopt a new meaning. Its procedure starts from a conscious translation of his environment into art, in order to obtain a rich iconographic blend of words, phrases and symbols to instance the human condition.

Don’t miss the vernissage and come to see 45 new artworks, canvas and paintings on wood and 4 site specifics installations on 1st July 6.30pm at Galleria Patricia Armocida. Exhibition ongoing until 31st July.

We have to admit that Katty Ukhanova’s pale blue eyes did creep us out a little bit in the beginning but the ability to pose and being just so damn cool that she takes everyones attention just by looking at them is astounding and takes that feeling away in a second.

Obviously Givenchy felt the same way when they picked this Russian stunner as their face for their 2009 Autumn-Winter collection cosmetic campaign.
