we sink ships.
posted in N E W S | Comment?

We Sink Ships (WSS) is a collaboration featuring Heidi Kuisma, a Finnish, Glasgow based photographer and Neil Milton, a Scottish photographer, musician and record label owner living in Warsaw in Poland. Together they create and curate online photo exhibitions and present We Sink Ships Radio, a series of weekly podcasts hosted on Radio Magnetic, an online radio station dedicated to quality, underground, independent, alternative music and one of the UK’s top five internet radio stations since it began in early 2001.

We Sink Ships Gallery was born of a desire to showcase and promote work by talented and zealous emerging photographers from around the world. In their selection process for images and now also for poetry, We Sink Ships, being completely self tought themselves, values passion over education and enthusiasm over expensive equipment; you don’t have to be an art school graduate or own the latest camera to be included in one of the exhibitions.

H O K O has been kindly invited to contribute a selection of photos for their latest online photography exhibition titled :

In Transit (1st - 30th April 2010 )

Photographs inspired by travel, movement, transport.

‘A R R A N G I N G’ an exhibition by Atelier HOKO, Singapore Design Festival 2009.
posted in N E W S | Comments Off

Directed by Atelier HOKO, 14 international artists and designers were invited to participate in interpreting and exploring the notions of ARRANGEMENT. The eight month-long process was eventually exhibited in the month of July 2009 at the Substation Gallery, Singapore.

For the second installation of ARRANGEMENT, Atelier HOKO has decided not to exhibit the actual objects from the last presentation and instead, lead the audience to experience the behaviors and aesthetics of arrangement through observations, explorations and narratives. These layers of ‘information’ will be re-presented in the form of books, writings, images, films, and artefacts. In this manner, arranging remains an intangible condition, drawing the quiet and the quotidian back into our sensibilities.

Date: 20 - 30 November 2009

Time: 10 am - 7 pm

Venue: old city hall main lobby (L1)

Admission: free
