We’ve recently stumbled upon this project from the beginning of 2009 thats well worth checking out online. The Paul Smith Space Gallery in Japan “Project 10″. The gallery showcases original Paul Smith prints which have been released on Paul Smith bags, one released every week over a 14 week period. Furthermore they have also produced a special Paul Smith Project 10 cotton tote bag, which features a print of all the prints.

We have heard about this for a while and now we can finally show you pictures of the Takashi Murakami & Pharrell Williams & Jacob sculpture, which was made for the Art Basel fair this year. Murakami created a sculpture and Jacob the jeweler re-created some of Pharrell’s products of choice in premium metals and diamonds. The blinged out objects, including a Pepsi can, Ice Cream Sneakers, Cupcake, Doritos and a condom, have been placed in the mouth of the Takashi Murakami sculpture.

Art Basel kicks off beginning of June and UK artist Dave White will be showcasing some works from his “Sweethearts & Sirens” Series at SCOPE Art Basel. After painting primarily sneakers and comic action heroes, Dave has now moved on to women, which we’re personally very happy about.

Tate Modern celebrates the centenary of this dramatic art movement with a ground-breaking exhibition. Futurism was launched by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909 with the publication of the Manifesto of Futurism on the front page of Paris newspaper Le Figaro. Drawing upon elements of Divisionism and Cubism, the Futurists created a new style that broke with old traditions and expressed the dynamism, energy and movement of their modern life.
Opposite – Luigi Russolo, The Revolt, 1911
This exhibition runs to the 20th September, 2009

Frankfurt based artist Simone Decker caught our eye with her giant bubble gum project, Chewing in Venice. The sticky sculptures have been stretched, chewed and blown up into a wide range of oversized bubblegum sculptures exhibited around the Italian city. Extraordinary.
