]]> 2013-05-10T13:34:39+00:00 FEELING THE LOVE http://www.12ozprophet.com/index.php/jamil_gs/entry/feeling-the-love http://www.12ozprophet.com/index.php/jamil_gs/entry/feeling-the-love I’d like to share a very positive, humbling and invigorating experience.
After receiving a generous grant from the Danish journalism association, I managed to take time out and travel to the UK so I could finally experience and document my work in two historical museums exhibitions.

The first show is titled ‘Selling Dreams -100 years of fashion photography’ and it is curated and organized by the V&A museum in London, last shown at Aberdeen Art Gallery. The second show i will explore in a later post.The V&A is similar to the Met in NY, in scope, size and art historical relevance. The photographs exhibited are comprised of 53 photographs carefully selected from the museums permanent collection, that they find best represent the last 100 years of fashion photography. Besides being in company with fellow photographers that I have been inspired by and consider masters of photography, I am impressed by the way the art work is treated an presented. It is held in very high regard and allot of thought and care is put into the process. The museum halls are grand and beautiful and the ambience is filled with creativity and positive vibes.

The exhibition has by popular demand been touring museums in the UK for two years and is now crossing continents to Australia and New Zealand, before returning to London next year. I am happy to be in mix and able to inject a little ‘flava’ into this context and hopefully spark some curiosity to experience and seek out more ‘flava’ for those who arent surrounded by it on a daily.
Amongst other photographers in the show are Irving Penn, Baron Adolf De Meyer, Cecil Beaton, Edward Steichen, Baron Hoyningen Heune, Horst P Horst, Ilse Bing, Herbert List, Erwin Blumenfeld, Norman Parkingson, William Klein, Jean Loup Sieff, Richard Avedon, David Bailey, Helmut Newton, Arthor Elgort, Bruce Weber, Corinne Day, Jurgen Teller, Steven Meisel, Steven Klein and Glen Luchford.
My image featured is from my style and fashion documentary shoot in 1994 on Canal Street. The model is real life beauty supermodel Yalitza, from the Bronx. SHe is wearing a mix of Canal Street bargain deals, Nike and Comme des Garcons, accessories with nameplate jewelry from Canal Street.
The shoot is styled by Bernadette Van Huy of Bernadette Corp, Make up by SHade and Hair by Chuck Amos. The shoot was published in i-D magazine.

Big uPs go out to the V&A curatorial team and Susanna Brown as well as Jason Williams at The Aberdeen Art Gallery.

In preparations for a little exhibition next month, focusing on works from Jamaica and New York, I started digging in the archives finding unseen material, some dating back to 93’.
I started throwing it up on my tumblr aka   JAMIL GS ark. It contains archives and post different to the ones seen here. If you like these vibes, your smile will widen. Hope you enjoy it.

I am sure this has been seen on the internet before and I even had the pleasure of seeing them under creation a while back at the studio, yet as the saying goes
” Aint nutn like the real thing baby ” and seeing them in front of me they are fckn genius if you ask me. Concept is one thing. The choice of Iconic meaningful comic book titles and Iconic meaningful artist, beings and beasts. Brilliant. The reproduction, beautiful. I am happy these fine examples finally made it to Copenhagen, get yours if even any are left.

HeavyPAC (The Heavy Projects + PublicAdCampaign) created this demo of their experimental mobile application that digitally resurfaces buildings in urban centers.
It is a natural progression from their previous app; the AR | AD Takeover in New York City.
The mind of an artsist considers anything possible.

According to eastern philosophy, The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. A symbol of good fortune and sign of intense power, the Dragon is regarded as a divine beast - the reverse of the malicious monster that Westerners felt necessary to find and slay. The Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority.
