Pimp your paintings

Few days ago I went to see artist Jani Leinonen’s Taidetuunamo (art tuning carage) in front of museum of contemporary art Kiasma. Excellent idea: bring your crappy paintings and Jani will pimp your paintings :) I only got disappointed, when I noticed someone else was doing the “pimping”. Maybe Jani just creates the ideas & signs masterpieces? Anyway, go and see the exhibition!

Putsch ‘79, electro-disco

Excellent Finnish electro-disco group Putsch ‘79 is a collaboration between Pauli Jylhänkangas and Bangkok Impact’s Sami Liuski. If you like music from Daniel Wang and Morgan Geist/Metro Area you definitely need to check this out. Buy their tunes from emusic.com.

Monte Rosso, life in urban Helsinki

The makers of Madventures TV serie are doing a new short film called Monte Rosso (link in Finnish). Movie will be released during the spring 2008. I just noticed Madventures DVD’s are subtitled in English, but I guess much of the spirit is lost while it’s translated. Spoken stadi slang is the thing ;)
