Genevieve Gauckler



"Genevieve Gauckler is a Paris-based artist and creator of a world of eccentric characters, blending them seamlessly into her everyday environment. She can already look back on an accomplished career in graphic design, illustration and art direction, having worked for French record label F Communications (Laurent Garnier, St. Germain), on music promo projects for Dmitri from Paris, Pierre Henry and Sparks with directors Kuntzel & Deygas.

Recently Genevieve worked on Beck's The Information album and website, experimental videos with Pleix, and exhibitions at Colette in Paris, Tokyo and Someday Gallery in Melbourne. She spends any free time traveling around the world, giving lectures, exhibiting work and obsessively taking photos to fuel her ever-expanding photomontages.

Architect: Kavellaris Urban Design

"We wanted the house to be more than just a facade. More than just a message or a graphic stuck to a building. Our building was not an urban canvas paying tribute to Venturi’s “decorated shed”, instead the external facade could be experienced internally and is also a multi functional device that constantly transforms the built form from solid to void, from private to public, from opaque to translucent. By day the building is heavy and reflective and by night inverting into a soft translucent permeable light box. The operable wall or the absence of the facade enabled us to remove the idea that houses are static.
The use of operable walls, doors, curtains and glass walls enables the occupants to change the experience and environment. This architectural manipulation of space blurred the boundaries between inside and outside, the public and private realm. The manipulated spaces overlapped and borrowed the amenity and context of it’s surrounding environment."

"The School of Life is a new social enterprise offering good ideas for everyday living.

We are based in a small shop in Central London where we offer a variety of programmes and services concerned with how to live wisely and well.

Have you had one of those mornings lately in which you got up and wondered why you were doing a job that exhausted you or that you didn’t really enjoy? Or found yourself spending the day running against the clock, too stressed to eat properly but not actually creatively challenged? Do you waste time brooding over unresolved arguments or feeling guilty for not being kinder to those in need? Do you notice your mind flitting unsatisfactorily from what the government should be doing about the world’s financial situation to what you are going to do with your weekend?

The School of Life is a place to step back and think intelligently about these and other common concerns. You will not be cornered by any dogma, but directed towards a variety of ideas - from philosophy to literature, psychology to the visual arts – that tickle, exercise and expand your mind. You’ll meet other curious, sociable and open-minded people in an atmosphere of exploration and enjoyment."


-- They offer courses on Love, Politics, Work, Family and Play. Now, who couldn't use some extra courses in playin'. Sounds fun to me... Here's the website, Check it out: The School of Life. If you're located near Central London, GO...if not for anything specifically, go for the experience.

I'm sure some have a love/hate relationship with these shoes, but personally I'm IN LOVE with them. Although, Christian Louboutins are getting SOOO PLAYED OUT (in my opinion) I cannot get over these fly little showstoppers. Named the "Fred glitter lace ups" they're definitely for a confident, funky soul. They're listed at $595 so sweetie, you better save your pennies.

The Rachel Zoe Project is back on Bravo TV for a second season. It Premieres Monday, August 24th @ 10. She has some interviews on bravotv.com but they're painfully awkward to watch. Lol Don't know why...they just are. Also, shes started her own blog-blogish type of thing called "The Zoe Reports" where she will report on her fav. fashions, what she recommends, and advice for other fashionistas. In a nutshell, I can't wait for the show to start back up again. :] :] :]




I'm ready for it. How about you?
