No dia 20 de Fevereiro/2014 acontece na King Cap o lançamento de uma série de gravuras de Alex Hornest, também conhecido como ONESTO.
Produzidas entre 2011 à 2014 nas mais variadas técnicas como metal, xilogravura e serigrafia, estas serão exibidas junto a outras inéditas ao público e datam do final dos anos 90.
Esta espera ocorreu para que hoje elas pudessem compor uma mostra de peso como a que será apresentada.
Alex Hornest é pintor/escultor/multimídia e artista de graffiti que vive e trabalha em São Paulo, onde desde os anos 90 retrata em suas obras as experiências que extrai do cotidiano caótico e atribulado das grandes cidades. Estas também servem como palco/suporte para a sua criatividade.
Visit with Os Gemeos in their native city of Sao Paulo, Brazil and get a rare glimpse inside the artists' studio.
"The twins" chase their Wild Rabbit to discover life's purpose through painting.
Os Gemeos were inspired by their visit to Cognac, France, the ancestral home of Hennessy.
The artists found a shared passion for history and sense of place, and a mutual drive to Never Stop, Never Settle.
Meio a Meio é o desdobramento do projeto de um livro em conjunto que se iniciou na visita de Alex Hornest a Curitiba no ano de 2006.
O livro intitulado 100cotidiano, agora 8 anos depois foi desmembrado, reeditado e nomeado MEIO A MEIO a partir de uma proposta do artista Valdecimples.
A idéia dessa nova formatação é que as páginas ao serem folheadas possam fundir os desenhos dos artistas.
Foram editados apenas 20 exemplares tornando esse "livro de artista" sendo mais um marco da fase gráfica da carreira dos dois artistas.

Onesto a.k.a. Alex Hornest’s works reflect spontaneous situational encounters with pedestrians.
Onesto inscribes the events that unfold in the microcosm of the city into just such places, thereby attracting
the critical attention of viewers to political or social issues. His work in Frankfurt will appear on two buildings
on Neue Mainzer Straße 57 and 59 and one train.

September 2013, beginning at 7 p.m., DJ Daniel Haaksmann will be playing a programme of hiphop music from

Nos anos 90 tive a felicidade de assistir há um dos vários vídeos da marca Girl Skateboards. Isso foi mais um dos fatores que mudaram a minha vida.
Esse é um dos melhores vídeos do gênero por ter os melhores atletas (na época), pelo alto nível das manobras, pelas trilhas sonoras que dão todo um clima ao filme e pelas impagáveis sacadas nas historinhas criadas e produzidas por nada mais, nada menos que o Mr. Spike Jonze.
Uma dessas histórias era a "The Parallel" onde um cara aparecia brincando com um pogo e dai em diante fazia o maior sucesso.
Para quem andava de skateboardo aquilo parecia ser a maior bobagem...
Ninguém botava uma fé que um dia isso poderia se tornar realidade e ainda mais um esporte radical.
Se enganamos...
GirlSkateboard - The Parallel
E não é que virou...
Xpogo - New York
................ Extreme Pogo or Xpogo is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks on extreme pogo sticks, defined as such by their durability and potential for height.
Today’s Xpogo sticks have the potential for over 10 ft. of height (measured from the ground to the bottom of the tip).
Extreme pogo is a relatively new extreme sport and is currently emerging into popular culture as evidenced by the growing number of Xpogo athletes around the globe, growing sales from extreme pogo companies, the popularity of Xpogo athlete exhibition teams, positive feedback and continued interest in Xpogo content on sites such as YouTube, and the expanding scope of the annual World Championships of Xpogo, Pogopalooza.
One of the most recent indicators of Xpogo's growth is evidenced by a dedicated Xpogo commercial run by Nike during the 2012 London Olympics.[6] The vast majority of Xpogo athletes are male and between the ages of 10-25.
