PURE EVIL

Pure Evil has torn all the pieces in his Nightmare collection in half and reconsituted them - mixing them together to create a new series, Pure Evil Goes Pop.

“Inspired by a Pop Art Realism show I saw in Vienna, and particularly the work of Mimmo Rotella, I decided to rip up the entire Nightmare series to see if I could make up new faces out of different parts of different women.”

The work is being installed at the top level of the Boxpark retail development in east London and will be on display throughout March.

SHRIGLEY HAS STYLE In an unusual move for London’s Stylist magazine, tomorrow’s edition will be without a beautiful (photoshopped) face, but instead feature the crude (yet charming) scrawls of David Shrigley’s pen.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY Pentagram’s Paula Scher has designed an identity for Microsoft’s latest operating system Windows 8, using a graphic resembling a window pane. According to Sam Moreau, Windows user experience director, Scher asked, ‘Your name is Windows, why are you using a flag?’ A window-pane graphic has not been used since Windows’ first incarnation, Microsoft Windows 1.0. Lots of questions can be asked of the new identity; Is mimicking Apple really the way forward? Is it merely branding bull? Are we relying on the reputation of Pentagram? Is this minimalist genius? you decide. Read more on the Pentagram blog here.

MUJI AT THE DESIGN MUSEUM Minimal Japanese brand Muji is to hold an exhibition (Product Fitness 80) at the Design Museum next month. Showing archived products, prototypes and some products which have never been sold in Europe, the Product Fitness 80 exhibition will, Muji says, demostrate its ‘monozukuri’ (craftsmanship). “The products in the exhibition all address the question, what would happen if we used 20% less materials and energy in the actual process of making products? And in terms of the final object, what is then the role of the user in customising, re-using and recycling products in order to reduce energy consumption?” Apparently the exhibition is free with a flyer that you can pick up from any Muji store.
