YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ISEEJANEMARY’S IMPLOSION

We are more than glad to announce that the mixed media piece GOD IS DEAD. I KILLED HIM & I’M GLAD, has found it’s home.

VOID AMSTERDAM

www.void-amsterdam.com

ISEEJANEMARY can be seen there from the 25th of January (yes that’s today) till the 3rd of February.

VOID has the best ‘welcome doormat’ you will ever read;

NOTHING EXISTS EXCEPT ATOMS & EMPTY SPACE - EVERYTHING ELSE IS OPINION

We can’t imagine a more perfect picture. So come one come all (:P) and enjoy this mixed media piece about portraying the experience of finding one’s self.

Now, the rest of this story you might have read before. If not; Read on!

If so; where were you?

As we were saying this piece highlights a phenomenon that no human can escape but all ‘forget’. The purpose of the piece is to depict the artist’s personal journeys from ‘the outside world’ to ‘the inside self’ by using ISEEJANEMARY (Illustrator Jowy Maasdamme’s brain child) as a personal guinea pig.

The artist’s journey & ISEEJANEMARY’s journey from ISEE to IFEEL are the aftermath of the murder of the God outside in order to find the God inside. The implosion.

The added visual art, as well as the sound design, are aimed at illustrating ISEEJANEMARY’s universe. The self designed reality in which she searches for her true essence.

You already SEE JANEMARY, now come FEEL her.

Thx for reading.

‘GOD IS DEAD’ mixed media piece moet weg bij Bijbels Museum

Het Bijbels Museum was verontwaardigd over onze expositie bij de officiële opening en heeft ons uiteindelijk de deur uitgewezen. Aanleiding hiervoor was dat de directrice niet te spreken was over de titel van het kunstwerk: ‘GOD IS DEAD’.

Terwijl de eerste gasten onze expositieruimte aan het bekijken waren, werd de opdracht gegeven om de gasten uit de zaal te ruimen en het kunstwerk op te doeken. De titel van het kunstwerk zou ‘aanstootgegevend‘ zijn volgens directrice Judiekje Kiers. De bezoekers moesten hiervoor worden behoed, zegt de directrice.

“Ik kreeg de optie om de titel te veranderen, de begeleidende tekst te nuanceren of een begeleidende tekst van de directrice voor te laten gaan aan mijn eigen tekst en dat heb ik geweigerd”, zegt Jowy Maasdamme (ISEEJANEMARY), de illustrator achter het betreffend werk. “De titel GOD IS DEAD is een essentieel deel van het werk. Het geeft aan hoe ik mij voel. Als het aangepast zou worden, lever ik half werk in”, aldus Maasdamme. “De keuzes die ik heb gemaakt, zijn bewust gedaan. Dus ook voor de titel van dit werk.”

De directrice zou de mixed media piece niet hebben gezien, voordat zij het besluit heeft genomen om de expositie te stoppen. Zij heeft tijdens de ophef aan de kunstenaars de opdracht gegeven om alsnog beeldmateriaal van het kunstwerk met hun mobiele telefoons te versturen. Alles moest via de telefoon, zij heeft zelf niks gezien. “ Eigenlijk behoort zij de kunst te bewaken en dat heeft zij als directrice niet gedaan”, zegt Diantha Rodrigues Pereira (Olga Feather), de visual artist achter het werk. De kunstenaars zeggen er alles aan te doen om zo spoedig mogelijk een nieuwe locatie te vinden waar het werk geëxposeerd zou kunnen worden.

Gijs Stork en Manon Schaap van Wintersalon/2012 worden hartelijk bedankt voor de mooie locatie en kans. Het was een mooie opening en bezoekers genoten duidelijk van de zeer ‘intruiging’ werk van de deelnemers van deze editie van Wintersalon. De nieuwe datum, tijd en locatie zullen tijdig bekend worden gemaakt. Mis het dus zeker niet en kom langs!

We would love to show you what they didn’t want you to see.

My friends and I had the privilege to be invited to the launch of an incredible new concept store in Rotterdam (Netherlands); PULL & BEAR.

We got to meet this environmentally conscious brand and got to stamp make our own magazine..and make silly faces in the photoboot!

They have an incredibly comfortable collection and we really got a feel for the brand and forgive us if we think that the point is to save the environment while dancing free fashionably dressed. In fewer words; THIS BRAND IS JUST FUN!

We defenitely enjoyed ourselves and even got some nice gifts to take home.

With so much anticipation I got dressed and biked as fast I could to be in time for the opening of the Out of Fashion program @ IFFR held at Roodkapje.
I just could not wait to see the original sketches by Rodarte for Black Swan. And I did stare at them for hours, atleast that’s what it felt like. But there was more, much more: a film installation created by Maison Martin Margiela which you could enjoy by earphone.
I was especially blown away by the art performance in which this swan like creature kept transforming . The performance made me think of the movie Black Swan and the concept of rebirth and transformation were beautifully shown.

Transformation literally means going beyond your form.

JANEMARY IS WEARING:

- MIU MIU BLOUSE S/S 2010

- DRIES VAN NOTEN SKIRT S/S 2010

THIS IS MY ENTRY FOR THE MARIE CLAIRE FASHION ILLUSTRATOR CONTEST.

THE THEME IS ETHNIC S/S 2010 TRENDS.

I JUST ADORE WHAT MIU MIU EN DRIES VAN NOTEN DID THIS SUMMER;

THE MIU MIU SPARROW IS INSANE AND NAKED PEOPLE ON COLLARS..YES PLSE !

THE COLOURS AND DRAPES BY DRIES VAN NOTEN ARE BEAUTIFULLY DONE SO I JUST HAD TO DRAW IT.

THIS IS MY BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATION:

' Fashion (Illustration) reflects the time that its in, and it feels like a difficult time: nature disasters around the world and recession. In difficult times fashion is creative and bold, so that we can escape and enjoy the outrageous world of fashion. As a self taught illustrator I try to reflect the world we are living in now: Dark elegance plus a dash of daring. This illustration came to be with passion and the use of a variety of drawing supplies such as: colored pencils, crayons and black inks. My doll's name is JaneMary and she is wearing: - Dries van Noten skirt s/s 2010 - Miu Miu top s/s 2010. - customized headband by stylist '

Yesterday was my bday...my heart fell into this lonely silence when I heard the news about the brilliant mister Lee Alexander McQueen. He has been such an inspiration for my drawings.. and not only to me, I know that he was an inspiration for so many people, an original, he was pure genious, and made fairy tales come alive through his art. I dont have many words, just a silent heart.

RIP Lee Alexander McQueen.

JANEMARY IN GARETH PUGH

WHETHER IM DRAWING OR NOT, I HAVE THIS ENORMOUS INTEREST IN FASHION, EVEN IF IM NOT WORKING, IM STILL ANALYZING DESIGNERS, ART AND TRENDS.

GARETH PUGH IS THE BRILLIANT ENGLISH MAN WHOSE DESIGNS MAKE ME INSANE. I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT GOES THROUGH HIS GENIOUS LIL HEAD. THE FACT THAT HE STARTED OFF AS A COSTUME DESIGNER SAYS ALLOT. THE FORM AND VOLUME OF HIS DESIGNS ARE QUITE THEATRICAL.

BUT IN A COMMERCIAL WORLD, LIKE THE ONE WE LIVE IN..I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IT BEING A HARD KNOCK LIFE FOR THE YOUNG PUGH, WILL HE SHIFT TO MORE ' WEARABLE' CLOTHING?

WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR GARETH.

THE CLOTHES HAVE A KINDA PREPPY FEEL, WHICH BRINGS BACK THE FEMALE AND MALE DANDY WHICH WE'VE SEEN ON THE RUNWAY BEFORE : PRADA, RALPH LAUREN, MARNI'S CONSUELA CASTIGLIONI THEY'RE ALL BRINGIN DANDY BACK.

BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY FAVORITE TREND FOR S/S IS STILL LEATHER. YOU MIGHT ASK YOURSELF WHAT DO LEATHER AND A FEMALE DANDY HAVE IN COMMON....MMM ABSOLUTELY NOTHING..BUT WHO CARES?!

OMG I FREAKIN LOVE LEATHER! I CAN WEAR IT ALL YEAR LONG: WINTER, SPRING..SUMMER..GIMME GIMME SUM LEATHER AND IM HAPPY!

THIS WAS THE BEST MEN PIECE FOR ME.. J' ABSOLUTELY ADORE! I THINK MARC JACOBS WOULD DEFINITELY AGREE WITH ME..MEN IN SKIRTS ARE PURE HOTNESS, YA HEAR.

BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS QUITE NICE SITTIN DOWN AND RELOAD. ITS ALWAYS EXCITING TO SHOW NEW WORK AND ITS SUCH AN AMAZING FEELING TO SEE THAT MY WORK IS APPRECIATED.

THIS BAG ...I LOVE THIS BAG, IT REMINDS ME OF THE BAG THAT CHRISTOPHER KANE DID FOR TOPSHOP..L.O.V.E !

NUDE AND BLACK IS MY FAVE COMBI . S/S IS ALL ABOUT THE NUANCES OF RED AND SOFT REFINED PINKS, MAUVES AND NEUTRALS, ADD A TOUCH OF EDGY BLACK LEATHER AND YOU'VE GOT A FAB LOOK.

THIS LIL LACE BAG IS GLAM AND CUTE, BUT IT HAS THESE STRAPS THAT ARE VERY LONG..NOT CUTE... I 'D CUT OFF THOSE STRAPS AND WEAR IT AS A CLUTCH.
