KUNSTHALLE.seoul PLATOON.berlin skype party

What a blast! the party in Seoul was dope...here at PLATOON.berlin we had a chance to give our best congratulations to the PLATOON.seoul crew via skype...











Christoph was strolling up and down to show us the containers, the KUNSTHALLE exhibition and to introduce us some of the party guests.














Somehow for few moments we really got a feeling of being there...a bottle of bubbly did the rest of the job.
















for the occasion we also put on our new PLATOON.wear collection. they look awesome dont they!















here a little video capturing the moment!

etoy at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing

toys leave China in containers, etoy enters China with a container: the SARCOPHAGUS opens its gates this monday, June 9 at the National Art Museum of China (NAMOC) in Beijing. the community of the living and the dead woos for the Chinese and unpacks Timothy Leary only steps from the Forbidden City. after weeks of construction, the NAMOC opens SYNTHETIC TIMES, a global media art group show curated by Zhang Ga in collaboration with TATE London, MOMA New York, Eyebeam, and Pro Helvetia.

to adapt MISSION ETERNITY to the Chinese market and build on a corporate tradition (etoy.FIZZLE), etoy trades intangible assets for a new currency: the etoy.AFTERLIFE-CERTIFICATE is designed to light up the boundary between life and death. inspired by an old Chinese tradition of using fire to transfer assets to the dead (hell bank notes), etoy collaborated with young graphic design talent 阮千瑞
(Ruan Qianrui) to create the first note (beta v.01) equivalent to 1/1000 of an etoy.SHARE. with each certificate, a part of the etoy.BRAND goes up in smoke.

Opening: June 9, 5 p.m.
Exhibition: National Art Museum of China (NAMOC)
No. 1 Wusi Street Dongcheng District, Beijing 100010 P.R.China
Jun 10, 2008 -July 3, 2008

share with the living and burn for the dead
