…i was completely speechless as i saw those amazing works by KYLE BEAN….enjoy the latest works from this artist: he brings a new perspective to everyday objects.
‘Soft Guerilla” is a series of weapons made out of non harming materials for a feature article centred around the topic of ‘Guerilla Gardening’ and ‘Yarn Bombing’ in the german magazine CUT MAGAZINE (the magazine is absolut fantastic !!!) . all photos are from the photographer Sam Hofman.
about KYLE BEAN:
a Brighton based designer specialising in hand crafted models, set design and art direction. Since graduating in 2009 he worked across a variety of platforms including installations, window displays, editorial and advertising.
in his own words…:
I was recently commissioned to work on a lovely and pleasingly odd project for CUT magazine in Germany. The feature article of the latest issue focusses on the topic of Guerilla gardening and yarn bombing. As a nod to Guerilla warfare I created a series of harmless weapons from various materials (some of which are edible). A jelly grenade, a feather blade knife, bread knuckle dusters; I created a total of 6 weapon models as well as my own take on the iconic Che Guevara image for the opener. I worked with the very talented Sam Hofman who shot them for me. Take a look at my portfolio page to see the project.
the “haus der kulturen der welt” in berlin is well know for an extraordinary program…but with the selection for the worldtronic festival 11 the team of detlef diedrichsen surprised me : if you are into electronic music…..check this out….: as the HDKW has always a good nose for upcoming new trends and artist….it`s a must see for me…i personally would recommend the evening with SOOM T (bizarre ragga – 8 bit electronica) and the energetic duo SUPER GUACHIN from argentina:

8-BIT & CHIPTUNES @ haus der kulturen der welt_berlin:
WITH: BUBBLYFISH + MARIEKE VERBIESEN, DISRUPT, CHACHA, SUPER GUACHIN, CANDIE HANK, SOOM T, VISUALS: RAQUEL MEYERS
The future of electronic music always takes place in the here and now. The latest and most radical developments determine the sub-genres of tomorrow. Yet the new cannot make do without the old. The styles and technologies of yesteryear are cited in the present and stimulate the development of new genres. With the result, sometimes, that the new – while sounding fresh and unheard of – can have a strangely familiar ring to it.
Heavily influenced by Indian music from the 1950s, along with Bhangra, Hip-Hop and 1980s pop, Soom T sings and plays 8-Bit digital Reggae. In addition, she has lent her voice to productions by countless artists, including The Orb, T.Raumschmiere, Bus, Asian Dub Foundation and many others.

…some of you might know that the label MAD DECENT is the driving force behind the success of our all sweethearts: M.I.A_CSS_MAJOR LAZER_DIPLO_SOUTH RAKKAS CREW….and many more striking acts and artists……IF you are ready for al full dose of BAILE FUNK, electro RAGGA, wired DANCE-HALL noise, and dirty HOUSE….than THIS compilation is a MUST. LISTEN HERE…..:
AMAZON: MAD DECENT . AND maybe buy directly from MAD DECENT:
PLEASE REMEMBER: nextguruNow is not a commercial site: we recommend only artists we believe in or products that fascinate us…: “Mad Decent is proud to announce its very own “Mad Decent Volume 1″ compilation, featuring 18 tracks hand selected by label head Diplo from his favorite overlooked remixes
of past releases plus a variety of new music from the label’s next crop of artists. The compilation presents a selection of Mad Decent artist who’ve helped shape the label’s unique personality since its inception. Featuring blistering remixes of classics such as Bosco Delrey’s “Wild One” (Reset! Remix) and Maluca’s “El Tigeraso” (Sticky K Remix) to unreleased gems like Boy 8-bit “House on the Hill” and Dillon Francis’s “Beautician 2.0″, to in your face bangers like Rusko’s “Everyday” (Netsky Remix). Mad Decent Vol. 1 is as much a showcase of the label’s biggest names and tracks as it is an illustration of its incessant efforts to bring new genres and cultures to light.”
The label has come a long way from the underground Philly scene where it all started, collecting a diversified group of artists along the way. From Blaqstarr, to Rusko, to Savage Skulls and PO PO, the sound and influences come from all over the world, and somehow work together to form a unified front of weirdos that make music outside the lines.
We love this awesome lamps made from salvaged material…..a complete new approach to lightning…..
seen first at: lost at e minor
Made of four pieces of gorgeously weathered hardwood and a length of natural jute fiber rope she stands about 11″ high, 3.5″ wide, and 14″ from the back two feet to the front. The main body
lovingly cradles a 30 watt Edison style bulb (included!) seated in a vintage porcelain lamp socket. The lamp plugs in to a standard outlet with the attached 8 foot lamp cord with inline switch.
When lit this lamp glows a beautiful amber orange, which when paired with the weathered grays of the wood makes for a really nice glow that will complement any room in your house.
I have added the silvered stripe design by hand to add a bit of character – since I make every lamp to order I will happily do custom designs or colors or lettering if you so choose! Please message me with any questions or requests, custom work will be about $15 extra.
Every one of these lamps will be carefully handmade by me and so no two will be the same! I only have so much of this great weathered wood to work with so there will only be a limited number of these made. Thanks for looking : )
… enjoy the bold and airy , bigger than life installations ……: Tomás Saraceno’s installations shatter traditional concepts relating to place, time, gravity and traditional ideas as to what constitutes architecture. His works are utopian and invite the viewer to play a part in their impact on a particular space, as they reach up to the sky and down to the ground. The artist creates gardens that hang in the air and allow visitors to float in space, fulfilling a dream shared by all humankind. Saraceno draws inspiration from soap bubbles and the incredible strength and flexibility of spider webs.
