Building Covered In Clothes

This unique building was temporarily covered in ten thousand items of discarded clothing in Brick Lane in East London. The idea came from Marks and Spencer to raise awareness on the amount of clothing that the UK citizens throw out every five minutes. Close to ten thousand, that’s how much.


Marks and Spencer’s idea is simple, instead of throwing out old or unwanted clothes M&S wanted everyone to bring their old unwanted clothes to their stores where it would be deposited in a ‘shwop’ drop box. What’s a ‘shwop’ drop box? Well the clothing you drop off will be passed on to their partners, Oxfam, an international non-profit organization that help people in poverty.

Google Doodle celebrates Keith Haring's 54th Birthday

The American artist Keith Haring, who died of Aids-related illnesses in 1990 at the age of 31, is being celebrated in a Google Doodle.

Haring would have been 54 on Friday and no doubt would have approved of the tribute to his brand of pop art, which drew on the New York street styles and dance music scene of the 1980s. An unabashed populist, he delighted in the idea that his work should be available to everybody – not just a clique of gallerists and rich collectors.

He first came to public attention with his chalk drawings on the New York subway in the late 1970s. This cartoonish quality continued in his later work, characterised by vivid colours and bold lines, which influenced the club scene and advertising.

Mentored by Andy Warhol, Haring opened a small shop in SoHo in 1986 called Pop Shop, selling merchandise bearing his iconic images including T-shirts, toys, posters, badges and key rings as well as reproductions of his art. He said the idea behind the venture, reconstructed in a Tate Modern exhibition in 2009, was "to continue this same sort of communication as with the subway drawings. I wanted to attract the same wide range of people, and I wanted it to be a place where, yes, not only collectors could come but also kids from the Bronx."

His friendship with Warhol connected Haring to rising celebrities such as Madonna, who was a regular customer at Pop Shop in the 80s. The singer regarded Haring's mixing of art, street and consumer culture as a major influence on her success. She has said: "Keith ... managed to take something from what I call street art, which was an underground counterculture, and raise it to a pop culture for mass consumption. And I did that too."

Haring did not live to see the huge impact his consumerist approach to art would have on subsequent generations, not least the YBAs. In 1988 he was diagnosed with Aids and died two years later. During that time he became an activist and campaigner, using his work to raise awareness of the disease and to promote messages of safe sex.

He established the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989 to provide funding and promotional imagery to Aids organisations and children's charities, as well as to expand the audience for his work through exhibitions, publications and merchandise.

His last works included a painting on the rear wall of an Italian church and six animations for Sesame Street, reflecting both his versatility and the wide audience for his art.

Hello Kitty Eva Airline

A full-scale Hello Kitty travel scheme has been launched by the Taiwanese company Eva Airlines. Passengers aboard the feline-themed shuttles will get the chance to travel between Taipei, Fukuoka, Nartia, Sapporo, Incheon, Hong Kong and Guam, all the while entertained by the highly praised fictional Asian character. This imaginative venture has been approved by Sanrio, the very company that holds the rights to the iconic Hello Kitty label.

The Hello Kitty images emblazoned on the A330-300 airbuses are only a part of the overall feel of the project. Those who opt for this method of transportation will be met with Hello Kitty boarding passes, meals and self check-ins. Large light installations and ornate cat-ensconced headrests have even been put on by the crew, allowing the cat motif to seep through every imaginable avenue of the Taoyuan International Airport.
