It is said to have transpired merely a few hours ago ...but hiss has it that a certain power agent with a roster of girls both au courant AND iconic has left his power base and is now a free agent. Let the shopping and the swopping begin!

M83 Saturdays=Youth

It's not exactly a new album but I spent this gloomy weekend getting into the new M83 mainly because of the cute album cover. Props to the photog Anouck Berlin. The images yield a great feeling.

As Three As Four As one

assume vivid astro focus had a banging kick off for their new exhibit " Absolutely Venomous Accurately Fallacious (Naturally Delicious)" at Deitch Studios Long Island City and artist Jayson Keeling was there to cover the ...err "vivid" proceedings. Here's his eyewitness report:

Hedi Slimane: Rock Diary: JRP Ringier

Hedi Slimane books tend to escalate really fast in value (a " Berlin" currently starts at $2, 475.00 on Amazon ) which means TI will be standing on line for a first run copy of "Rock Diary"!

A point and click moment is coming

I've been wondering why the "tropes" of computer and design culture don't show more explicitly in current design. TI senses something powerful coming from that angle. More later.

Eva Mendes : PH: Steven Meisel: Vogue Italia May 08

I'm in absolute love with the current post on Women Mgmt's new blog (http://womenmanagement.blogspot.com/) where James Tinnelly does a brilliant and incisive read on the Eva Mendes edit in the May Vogue Italia. This is what he had to say on the shoot that reveled in the kinky joys of a coral nail under a sheer stocking. Vive the fetishists!

"Kate, Giselle, Natalia, Agyness, Simon, Kanye and George": PH: Jayson Keeling

Artist and TI contributer has been proselyting for Katherine Bernhardt for a good year and a half now. And with good cause! Here are his exclsuive snaps and his personal evaluation of Katherine's latest show at Canada Gallery.

CHRISTIAN DUBOSSE PHOTOGRAPHED BY SHAMEER KHAN

Courtesy of Mr Joseph Bleu, TI received these snaps of one of our favorite new male models, Christian at Basic, photographed by the very enterprising young photographer, Shameer Kahn. I love that these two kids of the same generation conspired to take such fresh and relaxed pictures. Portrait of a generation methinks!

The Palais de Tokyo pushes the borders yet again in "Superdome"

While in Paris for the upcoming Men's shows , everybody should take a day off to scan Marc-Olivier Wahler's Superdome , at Palais de Tokyo, my favorite contemporary "museum" in the world right this minute. I can't best the press release as follows :

The Superdome is a mythical stadium: built in 1975 in New Orleans (Louisiana), it has hosted numerous Super Bowls (the American football championship’s final), a Rolling Stones concert, Pope John Paul II, the Republican Convention and refugees of Hurricane Katrina. Paradoxical, the Superdome builds a bridge between the greatest entertainment and the greatest anguish. Inspired by its additional and schizophrenic logic, mixing "I can get no satisfaction" AND "Our Father in heaven", Marc-Olivier Wahler puts forward SUPERDOME: a new session composed of five solo exhibitions balancing between entertainment and desolation, decibels and prayers, high-tech and chaos, as the continuation of a program testing the notion of the elasticity of art which started at the Palais de Tokyo with Five Billion Years.

I can't wait to see the exhibit with the massive section of museum floor, cut out and hung suspended from the ceiling. And you thought sending a crack through the middle of a perfect poured concrete floor was transgressive !
