Drift -

This episode is based on the notion of drifting.

This collection was conceived as a free form of creation, radically blu, floating from the pale to the indigo, navigating from raw material to a sophisticated end product. It is drawn from visual references and words related to water and notions of space. This collection shows a need for emptiness and wilderness. It is the product of overwhelming inspiration. – Hixsept Derive/Drift 2010

“French label HIxsept turned to fashion as an art form to construct their upcoming spring 2010 collection entitled “Drift”. Exploring the idea of drifting, the label’s designers Aurélien Arbet and Jérémie Egry were moved by a simple element–water. Inspired by its free form, movement and the idea of space, the designers set out to create a range that embodied these same characteristic. Looking to translate the concept of water and drifting into a tangible product, Hixsept’s designers Arbet and Egry were inspired by the idea of emptiness. Working around a minimal aesthetic that lends itself to thoughts of the wilderness, Arbet and Egry found movement in the way of lines and the draping of fabric. Breaking up the typical use of patterns with isolated spacing, Hixsept arrives at a collection that appears modest, but finds a compelling allure in the details.” Review by The Fashionisto

“The Subconcious Art of Graffitti Removal” explores the idea that humans are creating art on levels beyond there concious realm, leading to a new medium of artistic expression.

Broken down into two definitions: Graffiti Removal – The act of removing graffiti by painting over it.

Subconscious Art – A product of artistic merit that was created without conscious artistic intentions.

This video makes a very strong case for the removal of “art” as an art form in itself. Using examples found in the streets all across our globe, it appears humans are mimicking our great modern artists with no idea what so ever. The video goes on to cite works by Rothko and Malevich as key comparisons to our new approach at modernism. Starting with the initial tag, bomb, or throw up, the removal process takes on many shapes and sizes leading to a wide spectrum of variances while maintaining only three specific stylistic forms. Another point that is highly relevant and almost alarming, is in the idea that more money is spent removing graffiti than supporting the arts. Considering how “pristine” our local sheriff loves to keep our streets, this “art form” appears expansively across Phoenix. Which raises the question; could this new form of institutionalized modernism be an eye sore to those with a more avant-garde palette?
