Braved the ice cold Antwerp weather last weekend to check out the sales and popped by the AF Vandevorst guerilla shop ‘Aktion I’.
The shop is unmistakable AF, with its antique hospital beds and its trademark austere, military look.
Apart from the military hospital look there are witty touches like the massive dumpster in which you can drop your old clothes.
A.F.’s women’s collection, ‘Nightfall’ lingerie and ‘Fetish’ footwear are on sale, as well as the new A. Friend jersey collection.
Aktion I will have a busy traveling schedule, every three months AF Vandevorst will set up shop in a variety of unique places in different cities.
Aktion I – AF Vandevorst
29/31 Volkstraat, 2000 Antwerp – Belgium
Open : Thursday – Monday 12:00-20:00 until the 31st of March 2010
Great sales all over Antwerp and cool new shops, this new concept store RA13 is also worth checking out.
Ever witty Erwin Wurm is at it again with his ‘one minute sculptures’. This time with Claudia Schiffer and a set of everyday objects in the lead roles.
These photos are part of a spread called ‘Kunst Pausen’ that Wurm shot for the November issue of German Vogue.
If you happen to be in Brussels, the ‘Erwin Wurm, Desperate Philosophers’ exhibition in the Xavier Hufkens Gallery is opening today at 6 pm.
Read more about it on Utopia Parkway.
This is old news, but you might not have seen these stunning B/W photos of the latest show by Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren yet. I can’t get over them, so here you go.

If you want to read more about them, I can recommend the catalogue to their grand exhibition ‘The House of Viktor and Rolf’, held in the Barbican Arts Gallery in London in 2008. But that’s old news too, because these guys keep running ahead and keep coming up with ever greater concepts!
There is a video of this show on the rather annoying Viktor and Rolf website, go and find it or try your luck on YouTube. Yatzer has great photos too.
Crowd of dressed up arty types of all ages in nightclub on Kingsland High Street arriving in cabs? What happened to dodgy nights out in Hackney … or was this just a Frieze Art Fair related one off? My party escort Wessel definitely fitted in with the crowd in his new Hurwundeki trousers, sharp dude!
