Rikki Ililonga & Musi-O-Tunya – Sunshine Love
12 Aug

Takashi Murakami Superflat Monogram
9 Jul
A Japanese Alice in wonderland falls down the rabbit hole in search of her cellphone and lands in a bizarre world of magical brands. This amazing Superflat Louis Vitton by Takashi Murakami bears resemblance to Murakami’s Superflat First Love, and uses similar motives. It is a yet higher level of the mixture of the worlds of psychedelia, consumerism and magic.
