Ania’s creative licence is fairly substantial-she paints good-makes good clothes-and then there’s the rest. ’Cement Pond’ poems by Ania Chorabik was published in April this year (Frank Publishing). Her private papers that somehow came to a publishers desk. She has just completed a feature film due for release in February ‘The Summer House’ (Sommarstället) portraying a pregnant woman-something that reflects her true condition in a rather chaotic rock n’ roll surrounding.
Vue Privée is beyond an art gallery. It is a refuge for like-minded people. It is a brand that that was born from my love for photography and for art in general. It is my selfish dream to new and emerging artists by giving them a platform to exhibit their talents alongside more the more established ones. And if is also one of our missions to empower a new "breed" of collectors by democratizing the world of fine art, by allowing them to have access to museum quality artworks at more accessible price-points.
I grew up with photography and art. I'm a very visual person and love creating things that exist in my imagination. It's funny I really have never known anything outside of art. I grew up in the west village of Manhattan in the 70s and 80s-- I guess that kind of says it all. My work is part fantasy and part reality. It's kind of like a puzzle in a sense. If you look closely you'll find a story hidden within a story.
The vision began many years ago. I had worked for a boutique in London's Covent Garden called JONES for 9 years. At the time, Jones was a very directional store, with a strong vision. Since its closure 12 years ago,a gap was left in the market, and so i slowly began developing a concept for a directional store. Cheng and myself felt that it is the right time for change, a time for us create the right mark in London's retail landscape. A destination that you go in search for once you're in the city.
COLLECT came about in order to build the market for contemporary craft in the UK but also to establish the UK as the place to come for the world’s best contemporary craft. We wanted to develop and support the gallery infrastructure and raise the cultural and financial value of contemporary craft. We wanted to impact on the sector in terms of building artists’ profiles, supporting emerging makers, promoting galleries and spaces and enabling a clearer understanding of contemporary craft. And I think we achieved our goal in creating an authentic, exciting and dynamic event that is now a fixture on the international cultural calendar.

"One of our main reason to start the H E D M A N K L I N G company, was for us to be able to create the work that noone else gave us - to be free to express our view through our graphic and conceptual language and create the project where both our talents could be seen but with help through other designers work."
I’m a photographer and Digital artist living and working in Sydney - Australia. I focus my energies on both the worlds of Fine Art and Commercial Art. I’m dedicated to presenting contemporary notions of fashion and beauty through innovative digital media. Winning a national award for an artwork or collection reinforces the value of the work. It’s just like winning an advertising award. It’s very exciting too!
" Jewelry. The craft provides a base. It represents a starting point from where to deal with things, organize them and make a ritual out of what is happenig. Jewels are just the tool.The big project is the attempt to understand through the making of them. Pieces appear according to my most immediate needs.Which turns the manipulated matter into a map of my reality". Marc´s jewellery appears as a modest rejection of the ordinary: the only way to stimulate the mind, questioning values and preconceived ideas. To carry on hopes.

I was always fascinated with the shapes of footwear and saw it as wearable sculptures. I wanted to show my own point of view with my artistic designs. So I studied design in collage and also went to "old school" shoe makers to learn a lot of technical things to be able to actually make it myself. This is my "design language", my form of art. I create these designs simply because I want to… no specific expectations, "design for design". Since I posted my creations online, I get a lot of requests to buy/order these, so I'm checking options how can this be done.
In my photographs I try to bring myself into the picture that I almost fade in it. First there is always the location, an old house, a luxus hotel o a flower lawn. The location forces the action of the picture and the person becomes an item with the location. I don’t want to dominate, I rather want to become one with the location. Sometimes the person is an object, sometimes the person is surreal, sometimes she is present, sometimes she is absent.
I am an art historian with a special interest in contemporary design, crafts and jewellery. Since 1985 I work as a free lancer, mainly as a writer and critic for Dutch and international magazines, and also as a lecturer for international conferences and art academies.

At first I wanted to be a comic book artist, but when I was 17, I went to that fabulous exhibition in Paris at the Centre Pompidou called “Féminin-Masculin: le sexe de l'art.” They were showing the work of performance artists such as Michel Journiac, Orlan, and Hermann Nitsch as well as photos by Gilbert and George, Robert Mapplethorpe and Larry Clark. It had a huge impact on me since I was in the middle of a teenage identity crisis. That’s when I began to do some self-portraits with my camera. I showed them at school for an end-of-year exhibition, but the teacher tried to censor it.
My name is Johannes Faber. I am the owner of Galerie Johannes Faber in Vienna, Austria. We are spezialized in Austrian and Czech as well as American and European Classic Modern photographs. Quite soon I realized that there was no suitable infrastructure for photography in Austria. So I opened my gallery in 1983. From the beginning I strictly divided my own art work from the gallery work (I did not exhibit my own photographs). The exhibitions have been devoted to fine art photography because art-based photography has already been shown in other galleries.

Born in 1972, I started photography when I was 16. After my art studies I was working as a photographer. I was always involved with photography. At a certain point I was consulting for buyers. Two years later I had my own space. It was not ment to be that way.
My name is Nathalie Doucet - I am a former Paris Fashion Designer and U.S. Fashion Professor. I am the Founder and President of the Arts of Fashion Foundation, Director of Collaborative Educational Initiatives and Research. I was motivated by my experience in fashion. When you master the creative process, you can only be rewarded; it puts you on the path to liberty and independence.

I am 49 years old. I was born in Santa Fe, a city in the Argentinian Pampas, and I have spent all my childhood in a village in the heart of the country. I cannot speak English very well. I have been a photographer since I was 18. I would like to devote myself to the oil painting of big fabrics. I have neither patience to make films, nor I have ideas to write scripts. I went to a Catholic boys' school. Now I am attempting to make yoga, taking care of cholesterol and drinking less alcohol.
I have a mixed cultural background: German born, grew up in Canada – Montreal area – for 12 years up until Highschool. After my return to Germany I first had an economical training before discovering jewelry. Later I came to Amsterdam to study at the jewelry department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Since my graduation in 1997 I work and live in Amsterdam with my own studio and have been participating regularly in exhibitions in the Netherlands and abroad.
My overall facination with fashion is its close relation and interaction with the human body. I’m obsessed with anatomy and its exploration (mainly through drawing and sculpture). My ultimate goal is to create garments with their own anatomy, and also with their own soul.
Aitor develops all his conceptual and formal speech which give expression to all his anatomic and sculptural studys. When he was a child, Aitor Throup dedicate most of his time to draw the movement of the human body.Invert all the hours to give to each of his draws an anatomy, to get a three-dimensional aspect of an inanimate object to create his own internal structure.
I was born in Odessa, Ukraine in 1974. My grandfather introduced me to photography at an early age. He always walked around with his camera taking pictures of family and friends. Every now and then he turned their little kitchen into a dark room where he was printing pictures for his photo albums. When I was about 10 I got my first “do it yourself” camera that I had to put together from a kit. My grandpa gave me a quick cheat sheet on exposure calculation and a few black and white rolls. Well, that’s were it all started, however I didn’t even realize I can make it my career until much later.
