belgium, attic shelf and beatdrunx by ekene / October 19
hello maroons. i am writing from the bxp in brussels. i have been in belgium this weekend to see my friends designs at interieur the 21st international biennale in kortrijk. my favorite design was the attic shelf by pieter de caluwé. he was great to talk to and also liked the new installations and objects i have been designing and we have many of the same thoughts concerning design which was great.
in gent i was with some great people; my friend nadia and her fiance phil who is in the belgium hip hop group called beat drunx. theyre somewhat like company flow so if you like them and/or definitive jux you should go to the beat drunx myspace page or go see them in brussels this saturday at the event shadow boxing!
while in belgium i started some 3 new photography projects called “jump”, “people and cars”, and “party” or something like that. i may post somethings from them later but the content is as the titles sa. the first is me jumping in some of the best spaces in brussels, the second is all the people in cars i met between gent and kortrijk and the third is my new party photographer character for one night at the i <3 techno party in gent which my friend stino made the commercial for! yes they have commercials for parties in belgium… weird huh? so… its departure time. im see all the people that are going to milan in the same plane as me…. egh… where are the other maroons? idk? but… i am going to be going to some other cities in the coming weeks so if you in europe email me at ekene at 21maroons dot com and maybe next week or weekend ill come to your city!
