Went to the Young Guns talk organised by AGDA tonight. It was really great! Don't know why but there were around 20 people there only. Definitely should've been a full house!
I once saw this really innovative, beautiful time lapse photography fashion feature which was basically two horizontal strips on top of each other, each with a different perspective of the a male and a female model and the bottom strip had the position of the bottom half of the models 'moved along' conveying a sense of movement. I have loved that image for years and kept the magazine. It was featured in 'Mu' magazine which was done by Deanne Cheuk. Tonight the image was beamed up onto the big screen and I found out that it was Anthony Geernaert's work! That is so cool!
Also heard Tin Nguyen speak. He is such a charismatic, creative, funny guy! Love his work! He and his friend Ed formed a design company called Tin and Ed. They did 12 covers of Lucky magazine. I have collected all of those issues. I remember seeing them in the record shops etc, and the covers were always so innovative and out there, different, cool. He's a great presenter and tells great stories! He also designed the 100 page guide to the 2004 Next Wave Festival: Unpopular Culture. 18-30 May 2004.
Kasia and Michael's talk was really interesting as well!
