Un concept artistique, une œuvre d’art

Le projet « l.140 », une édition de 500 nuits » est né de la rencontre de trois personnes : Mélissa Epaminondi, architecte et artiste ; Anji Dinh-Van, responsable du développement de Andrea Crews, et Sophie Vigourous, directrice de la galerie Jousse Entreprise.

La maison est le contenant idéal de tous les souvenirs et en particulier de ceux de l’enfance et des rencontres. « L140 », n’est pas un hôtel, mais une édition artistique : une édition de 500 exemplaires à expérimenter. 500 nuits à vivre dans une œuvre d’art.

THE PURSUIT OF (COOL) - TEASER

by R+I creative

R+I Creative presents “The Pursuit Of Cool”, a short series about hedonism, sharing and meeting cool people with stories.

‘COOL IS BEING YOURSELF, COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN, NAKED IF YOU HAVE TO.
COOL IS KNOWING THAT YOU’RE GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN
AND BEING UNSWAYED BY WHAT PEOPLE THINK,
WHAT THE RULES SAY YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE OR DO,
AND HOW YOU MEASURE UP AGAINST ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED.’
EXCERPT FROM MARK VV’S (THE FORGOTTEN GENT.COM) RESPONSE TO « WHAT IS COOL AND WHERE HAS IT GONE ? »

“This idea came to me by watching TV.
After it was boosted with the current problems in Japan, in libya.
Images shocked me.”

‘Showtime’ installation at W London

Drawing on their personal collection of postcards sourced throughout childhood, strikingly combined with their shared passion for raw neon, Rob and Nick Carter have created fourteen new pieces marrying postcards from the 60s and 70s with neon signs of the type originally found on locations such as casinos, diners, ice cream parlours and motels. The result is a new body of work that delivers an intriguing play on place and mood.

“N-CC isn’t so much a retail site but more an evolving platform of curated ideas encompassing clothing, music and art.”

When it comes to innovative retailing, London never disappoints.

Alongside Tokyo, these are two of the world’s most closely observed activity hubs and it’s easy to trace their trickle down effect globally. 

Launching online in late August, LN-CC is the culmination of ideas that have been incubating between John Skelton and Dan Mitchell in recent years.
