Ontour

I Have Pop

11 October 2007, 02.21 | Posted in Uncategorized |

In our shop we will also host small expo’s showing artists and objects that inspire us.

During Dutch Design Week we will be part of The Other Things festival and have a great start with the ‘I Have Pop’ expo.

I have Pop is an ongoing investigation into the dynamics and mechanics of popular culture through a series of autonomous (street) art projects and assignments.

In 2004 over the course of 4 months, and in the middle of the craze, the concrete Nike dunks were placed in front of some of the world’s most high profile sneaker

boutiques. Without telling anyone about this project some of the shops took this shoe inside and put them on display.

Word of mouth travelled quickly, but nobody knew what the deal was. One year later, the entire story was made public and sparked a huge response.

Although many people believe there is a group of people behind these projects, but that is not the case. It is the work of one single person going by the name of

JUSE. He creates the ideas, the plans, makes the objects and personally travels to all destinations for execution and documentation.

So far he has exhibited at Evil Monito LA, 90SQM Amsterdam, Sneakerpimps USA and Untitled Berlin / Barcelona amongst others and now we have the honour

to welcome him and show a selection of his work in Eindhoven.

Check his site for inspiring projects and commisioned projects for Nike, Wesc and Solebox.
