For the ones who missed..Yekpare

"Yekpare" is a storyteller which narrates the 8500 year story of Istanbul. The story embraces symbols from Pagans to Roman Empire, from Byzantine Empire to Latin Empire, and finally from Ottoman Empire to Istanbul at the present day.

Haydarpaşa Train Station, with its brilliant architectural forms, is the building on which the story is projected. The connection between middle east to west has been provided by Istanbul and Haydarpaşa since 1906. In the 50’s it served as a door for millions of internal emigrants who have triggered the chaos in Istanbul's dialectical daily life scenes.The project's conceptual, political and geographical positioning, the location’s depth of field and the fact that the entire show can be watched from Kadıköy coast; make "Yekpare" a dramatic presentation.

The first day of the performance also marks the 47th deathday of Nazım Hikmet Ran, the famous Turkish poet. We started out with a quote from his epic novel, "Human Landscapes from My Country": “At Haydarpaşa Train Station, in the spring of 1941, it is three o’clock. Sun, exhaustion and rush lay on the stairs...”

ROBERT BRADFORD & his recycled toy sculptures

He is from London and says he wanted to become an artist from a very young age. He did his B.A, in painting at Ravensbourne College of Art and M.A in Film at the Royal College of Art, London.

He explains his inspiration for creating these plastic 3-D sculptures with these words;

"One day about four years ago out in the studio I was looking into my childrens box of outgrown / discarded toys which happened to be stored in the same building and responded to the random collection of colours shapes and forms they made. I figured that if I could find a way of putting them together to constitute a larger form they would have great potential as larger scale sculpture. "

He creates these sculptures with discarded plastic items, mainly toys but also other colorful plastic pieces.

Some of the sculptures contain pieces from up to 3000 toys. If you would like to own one, they cost around US$19.000.

I dont know you guys but I would like to have 1!!:) Especially I would like to get the dog,well surely only if I could afford it now,who knows maybe in the future :)))

THE JOY OF FASHION!!!!!!

Like every other season, the students of Central Saint Martins are lucky enough to find a way to show off their extreme talent during the London Fashion Week. This is one of the most exciting fashion show of all the fashion weeks for me. Saint Martins lets their students to be totally free to force their limits of creativeness and craziness. I think this is the secret of the school that most of the graduates are world famous designers!
