Just as I posted the previous YEN post, I saw a recent tweet from the magazine about their new issue that comes out today. Of course another one of my favourites on the cover... Lena Dunham, I've been trying to watch the series Girls. I need to buy it, looks like a show I will love.

Here's a peek of the new issue, I'm going to buy it today!

YEN

I find it so relaxing being by myself with some music (Ben Howard), fresh air and a good magazine.

The article relating to Australians moving to New York for their jobs was so inspiring. I dream of living & working overseas. They said New York is the place to be and I believe them because I hear it constantly and I'm still yet to visit the beautiful place.

Reading about these creative people in their own industry motivated me to begin creating my jewellery. 

This issue marked Yens 10th birthday and they generously gave every buyer a 20 track cd with a choice of their favorite indie summer tracks. 

Such a good buy!

I AM FREE

Whilst in Paris I made a visit to the CENTQUATRE (104) which is a contemporary art gallery. As soon as you walk in to the doors you are introduced into a whole new world. The amazing industrial building is filled with dancers from toddlers to adults. All practicing their specific routines in groups or solo. The community was wonderful and so exciting, such a buzzing vibe!

I AM FREE - MOAHTAZ NAZR

"It is an experience of transcendence Moataz Nasr, Egyptian artist who claims his Africanness, invites us to I am Free. Desire for purity and elevation that the public will experience climbing the steps of the installation clearly alluding to its origins ... Enjoyment of freedom that we poor humans try to capture the chimeric fusion with the animal world." referenced from here.

 

As you opened the glass doors at the end of the room the first thing to catch your eyes was a huge wall with wings printed on it. This installation felt really symbolic. The climb up the stairs was if I was entering freedom. Just graduating from school, completing my exams. I felt on top of the world and of course free. However the height was pretty scary... looking down was pretty terrifying. 

Unfortunately we were arriving as it was getting dark so the 'I Am Free' glowing text isn't visible.

~the world is my oyster~
