Oh how semi clean our Converse were before! Now covered in luminous yellow tape and disgustingly muddy they live to tell the tale of a highly eventful Lowlands 2011…
It is always very refreshing to find in the midst of this overly-big, overly-wild, and overly-exaggerated surrounding a person, who shows you what really matters: the true essence of the things around you. Helena Petersen is one of those people.
You might not have noticed, but postmodernism is totally over. So Rick Reuther went forth to learn what the next big thing will be. At least in literature. Well, and in photography. So basically this is the guy who defines what we will think in years to come.

Last month we were at the Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia where the 11th edition of the Exit Festival took place. Among the 165.000 party animals were our friends Mentalgassi – so a nice opportunity to catch up with them and talk about the huge balloons they created there.

A massive thanks to everyone involved in the YOU’RE HERE event in Antwerp this weekend. We had a chance to chat with some of the artists that were participating.
Monja Gentschow calls herself a ‘desartist’: somebody in between a designer and an artist.
Day one at the YOU’RE HERE event in Antwerp turned out really awesome thanks to all the amazing people that participated. The crowd was actually just as involved as all the artists and that was what made this event so special.
We’d love to share some of the great creative work that people have uploaded to Converse blog. We’re overwhelmed by your response, sadly we can’t feature it all, but here are six artists that we really like.
