FRESH DOESNT EVEN DESCRIBE IT!!!
Designed by the 2008 Prtizker-prize winning architect Jean Nouvel has just opened in the historical Port of Le Havre.
Inspired by the Roman thermal baths, the 5,000-square-meter complex offers an beautiful atmosphere of tranquility with a play of natural light.
Although the main “color” of the complex is white, each section’s distinct atmosphere and hue is created by flowing water curtains, color walls, and various textures and surface treatments. Each pool – lap-pool, children’s pool, whirlpools – is designed, shaped and lit to create a unique “private space” for its specific users.
An external lagoon makes the summer use of the complex even more appealing.

CUPROCKING
I love this guy’s attitude and creativity. He is definately keeping it FRESH.
“Cuprocking is the brain child of Sydney based artist Andy Uprock. By mapping out large areas of cyclone fencing and sticking plastic cups into the existing diamond shaped holes, Andy transforms streets and public areas into floating walk-by galleries. Andy typically uses around 2,500 individual cups for each piece and recycles them between each project. “
“Andy also creates braille poetry out of the cups and people are calling it the very first form of graffiti for the blind. Andy describes the process as being like “solving Japanese algebra blindfolded”.
He’s created a couple of braille pieces on the streets of Melbourne and Sydney already and an exhibition, in conjunction with Vision Australia, is being planned for when the guys return from their international cuprocking jaunt.
Andy is the kind of person who makes you realise that you definitely could have been doing more with your life and of his many surprising talents, dancing is probably the most crucial to his core. Growing up as a b-boy in the 90s, with his mother and elder sisters being key influences, Andy has taught himself over 12 different styles of dance, and is known to have one of the most unique and stylised uprocks in the biz. It’s like he’s always looking for the next challenge and if it means learning how to walk upstairs on his hands, then so be it.
Andy is also an accomplished painter whose art depicts some of the most beautiful and fascinating elements of this universe. With some of his paintings involving over 300 hours of labour, these complex and cryptic works leave you in a seamless, timeless state of consciousness. It’s Andy’s incessant questioning of the world and his astute fascination with life, rhythm and movement that makes him such an interesting artist. “

I LOVE THIS GRAF!
According to Wooster Collective:
“
In June and July, MOMO and Melissa Brown have been collaborating on a new project for the Espeis Gallery in Williamsburg. The gallery brought their thirty foot long drawing inside and are having an opening for it this coming Saturday June 12th 7-9pm.
For the month of June Melissa and MOMO have been destroying each other’s paintings (every odd numbered day for the month of June) on the wall outside the gallery, called Espeis Outside. This space was started by WK when he mounted the painting he did for Obey vs. WK in Tokyo on the exterior wall of the Espeis Gallery as part of his December show. The evolution of that space since December is documented here.
MOMO and Melissa have built a show around this street painting battle. A collaborative screenprint that will be released via the Gallery website on Saturday night.”
