«i wanna be like greta Carbo. or a Blue angel, marlene, louise Brooks. amalia, the Fado singer. a retro look and a digital collage. on Satur-days I like to go through the flea market collecting memories. Feira da ladra as we call it here in lisbon. That means Thief Fair which is funny. Collecting other people's memory to build a new one. i like to play with scissors and glue and paper. a little piece here and there through the hills of my city. lisbon is old and new, vintage and modern, decadent somehow but with a white and clean sunlight. lisbon is bright decadent. It's filled with past and dreams. And there lays the inspiration for my work.»

Cristiana Couceiro was born in 1977. She lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal.

“I work as art director in advertising since more twenty years ago in Spain, principally in Madrid and Palma de Mallorca, city where I actually reside.With my father as painter and my mother as sculptress... my future was marked! As a result of this, my training basically is self-educated.I have begun my web-site of conceptual art. On this web-site, I’m exhibiting a sample of my art-works with the proposal of to express an ironi-cal point of view about events of everyday life.”

From where do you usually get your inspiration?i don’t believe in the inspiration. i only believe in the work. Without a shadow of a doubt. i think more in the perspiration than in the inspiration. In spite of this, I can say that my artworks are a reflec-tion of the daily observation of all the surround us. it is always with an ironical view.

Can you name the artists who had the most profound influence on you?I have been under the influence of all artists between Piero Della Francesca and marcel duchamp. However, internet has helped to know hundreds, thousands of artists. The techniques, disciplines, tendencies… have been fusing. as a result of this, there are new artists, new tendencies.i think… we are living a special moment. But, look out! a high per-centage is too ephemeral.

Where did you study and do you believe in the importance of formal education in design?Formal education or conventional education about design or art is very important. in other words, this education must not be ignored, but the artist must not remain there... remain behind! it’s necessary to know the rules, for break them.

When are you the most productive? Day or night?i sometimes work in the day, and i some-times work at night. although i have a predilection for to work at night, when there is silence, and at the same time i can listen to music in front of my computer.

Does music help you in your art work? What are your favorite groups?ufff… How explain it! my father played Spanish guitar, my sister plays cello; and i studied clarinet … my training is classic: Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Bach … but i have evolved and enlarged my musi-cal spectrum: Bjork, kruder dorfmeister, Smashing Pumkins, massive attack… no-thing is possible if there isn’t music. But paradoxically, my favorite sound is the silence.

Tell us more about your artworks “Capuc-cino” or “Flies”. my view of the things has an acid point. in the case of “Capuccino”, the look of the coffee attracted me. If for first time and quickly, you see the photo, you would think it’s perfectly normal… a cup of cappuccino. only when you carefully look, the difference can be appreci-ated: any disagreeable for a lot of people.

Have you got another passion besides art?Yes. all the activities related with the nature.

What way do you like to relax in?i like to walk on the beach and to drink tea while i read newspapers. However, in those relax moments, my body rests but my mind continues working. i would like to disconnect me com-pletely, but it isn’t sometimes easy for me.

Fumiko Todawww.fumikotoda.com

Fumiko Toda is an artist who currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.She was born and raised in rural Japan. She finds her inspiration by her childhood memory with nature. Her works have been exhibited both nationally and internationally.

“i am obsessively fascinated with color, texture, textile design, and form, although most of the images and inspiration I find for art, are drawn from my childhood background.i grew up in the japanese countryside, near the edge of a pond thriving in bio-diversity. i would spend long summer days collecting all manner of insects, leaves and stones to escape my isolation.after attending art university in kyoto, i moved to new York City, in 2001, and was strongly influenced by the urban experience; how metropolitan living tends toward disconnection and results in an existence bereft of intimacy.Through the making of art, i engage this disconnection: from the community of humankind, and from the natural world.Working on paper allows me to create different layers of acrylic paint, ink, graphite and oil-pastel; in the overlay of various surfaces and visual effects resulting from this process, i can suggest the pas-sage of time and recollection of memory.”

Selfportraitswww.selfportraits.ru

Ilya Kazakov invents new projects absolutely by chance, but with some definite consistency. He has been doing this since 2005. The first one was the project called “Creatizm”- illustrations to some abstract words. In Ilya’s new project any illustrator or designer can come out in his true colours by sending his or her self-portrait, which will be put in the gallery. Ilya is going to stop accepting the new images in the end of July. So hurry up!

PeterBakerwww.peterbaker.net

Born and raised in a small farm town before moving to Chicago and San Francisco, Peter works across multiple disciplines, running his own web and graphic design studio, Elevated Works (elevatedworks.com), while shooting commercially for a number of publications and exhibits photos in numerous capacities.

“This series of night photography is a result of the slow, methodi-cal, almost meditative methodology of long exposure photography. Through lurking around in the middle of the night, you begin to find an interesting new landscape, generated by the artificiality of man-made light. Through our own desire for the illumination of the night, a new world is created, one almost sinister but beautiful at the same time.”

“i’ve never wanted to take photographs. Because it’s difficult to begin doing some-thing where you think you’re not the best. i’ve been photo editor for three years, so i’ve seen many photos of different pho-tographers and learned that there may be pictures of wonderful harmony or something done by amazing eyeless creatures with cameras. Sometimes I would find a camera in my hands, but i was always trying to get rid of it. and my shots were really shitty. one day our art director bought two identi-cal cameras and I got one of them. The first four photos i’ve made were the photos of my flat. I was in the hall and thought that there was such a beautiful light and it was just a typical Soviet kind of flat but some-how very nice despite all those floor lamps and polished furniture. and so it began like that.i don’t think that i shoot something special. i just like the tangible things and nice horizontal and empty pictures. i take out my camera when I see the flowers, green lawns, paper cups with coffee, empty

rooms of bedrooms. everybody does that: think out some projects and then implement them. But i can’t call this such a pompous word as “projects”. it’s just foofaraw. There are thousands people like me and it would be too self-conceited of me to take it seri-ously. it’s very pleasant when people like my photos. But if i ever start taking photos with a serious look on my face i’m sure that i won’t like them. i didn’t like to take photo-graphs of people until i began to treat them as objects. it means that i don’t change something, but i just shoot a person where i see him or just round the corner. also i don’t like to dress them up. i either want to take a picture of the person or i feel aversion right away and there’s nothing i can do. i don’t spend more then 10 seconds on taking a picture. if i see a person in front of me it seems to me that i am doing something very stupid if i take a picture. and at once i feel like walking away so i just press the button and blush.

The most important thing that happened to me due to photography was to meet my boy-friend Chris in london. He was shooting a movie about his own life and girls. We got ac-quainted accidentally in the street. He was being late for something; i came to a shop, and bought two apples for want of anything better to do and invented a story about a loving couple of apples walking around london. This story got to Chris’ movie that is coming out worldwide soon. Chris made me believe that my photos are worth something. This is the most important thing someone has ever done for me.”

How did it all begin — meaning the pho-tography?i began with photography back when i was in high school. i was really interested in the whole process. after high school i began college with the intention of becoming a chemical engineer. after about 6 months i decided that photography, and making art interested me much more than what i was going to school for. So i left that college and enrolled in a small art college in St. Paul, minnesota. i graduated about a year ago and have been making work ever since.

Tell us some words about your series “Illuminati”. How did the idea of such series take place?The idea of the illuminati came about after i had been working on some other night projects. i had been shooting farms and cities at night. i was shooting them because i loved the way that the light changed the face of the landscape. after a while i began to notice the same effect with people and their electronic devices. as i explored this phenomenon i began to notice who was using the devices. i began to notice the isolation that occurred when young people were using these devices and at the same time thought about the connection that was being made by the user to another user who could be anywhere in the world. The para-dox was really interesting and the imagery was really beautiful at the same time.

How do you concern to criticism?i love hearing others opinions about my work, both good and bad, as long as it is constructive. i like to hear why someone likes it or dislikes it. i think the criticism that is received is just as important as the art itself because it helps the artist to push the boundaries of what they are doing and to make their work better.

Evan, what cameras do you use?i have several different cameras that i use. i have a mamiya Rz67 Pro ii and a Canon 5d. But my favorite camera is my Canham 4x5. There is something about a 4x5 image that is unique. nothing else can match it.

PHoTogRaPHY / evan Baden

moloko+ magazine

How do you prefer to spend your free time?i usually spend most of my time working on projects, but when i’m not working i like to just relax. it might be doing something active like taking a walk or going to the park, or it might be simply sitting in my living room and watching some Tv.

Tell us about your proximate plans for the future. Are you going to make some new series?i am making some new work. i have been working on a couple different projects, but the one that i am most excited about is a continuation of the illuminati series. i want to expand the imagery and show more of what i see in everyday life. i want to focus on the isolation that occurs with technology in social situations.

Is there anything you would like to say to our readers? Any pieces of advice you would like to add?as far as advice goes to those who want to make art, i would simply say make a lot of work. You have to go through a lot of stuff that you know is really bad before you can identify what interests you and begin mak-ing impactful work.

Juliane Eirich was born and raised in Munich, Germany. She studied photography at the “Academy for Photodesign Munich” (Fachakademie für Fotodesign, München) from 2000 to 2003. After graduating she went to New York City and Honolulu to work and pursue her own projects. Due to a scholarship she spent one year in Seoul, South Korea in 2007.

Since you asked all the artists if they have been to Russia: i have been to Russia two times. it was on a pupils exchange because i decided to learn Russian voluntarily in high school. i went there two times, once with 14 and once with 16. i really liked it so i would love to go back now, since i did not take photos at that time.”

“Being a photographer you become curious by profession. This curiosity is what inspires me and makes me enthusiastic about pho-tography.The main subject of my work is physical places. i am showing the peculiarity and beauty of places that usually would not get much attention. my work deals with the relationships between people and places, and the rendering of real and artificial-like environments in everyday life. i want the viewers to sometimes rethink their way of perception. my goal is to take pictures that are story telling to pass on my curiosity to the viewers.

DmitryLedentsovwww.ledentsov.de/pictures/viareversionkit/

Dmitry Ledentsov lives intensively between art and science since his birth in 1981 in Leningrad. He has interrupted his academic education in music and art as a reaction to conservatism and pursued his own development track. His first personal exhibition “I am Absent Here” in the gallery Belka&Strelka in St.-Peters-burg, Russia showed photographs in diptych format, focusing on the topic of absence. The atmosphere of the exhibition was en-hanced with his own music, he himself was, however, absent.

moloko+ magazinePHoTogRaPHY / dmiTRY ledenTSov

http://www.ledentsov.de/pictures/viareversionkit/

moloko+ magazine

The photographic series „Via Reversion Kit” deals with warped spaces and relative views. Each photographic image has two interpretations – as negative and as a positive picture. Tradition-ally, the positive is preferred, since it is closer to our perception of the world. The photographs in this exhibition allow both inter-pretations. However, only the purposefully chosen interpretation is shown.

“Black or white? Positive or negative? Can we answer these questions unambiguously at the spot? in our daily lives we are often forced to take sides.This inevitably creates tensions that ac-cumulate with time. However, an analysis one’s own thoughts results in a conclusion, that completely opposite concepts or at-titudes can coexist in the very same brain, hence be a part of the same personality.does this fact pose a paradox? The ques-tion itself is again a demand to take sides. Such nested paradoxes have fascinated humankind since a long time. People that could afford taking the time have document-ed those (i.e. Zen Kōans). The mathemati-cian kurt gödel has freed us from the tor-ture of the infinite – as a consequence of his incompleteness Theorem one can always find a higher system in which the contra-dictions of the original system wouldn’t be contradictory.The path of hedonism is a dream among modern people. The maximization of de-light and enjoyment is however an utopistic maxim that cannot work in a dynamic soci-ety. each step towards hedonism causes a

wave of reactions that can be extremely po-lar due to the fact, that everything is judged relative to the individual, space and time.an example of a paradoxical system men-tioned above is the personal Weltanschau-ung. each Weltanschauung is unique not only among individuals, but also between seconds. By learning something new about the world, the inner world or the attitude towards a certain concept can reverse in an instant, either resolving smaller contra-dictions, or adding new ones. Hence, The good can become The evil in a jiffy and, perhaps, transform into good the next sec-ond.The photographs from the series “via Re-version kit” crystallize my personal relative Weltanschauung through photographic inversions into a form and are dedicated to The good here and now and with grateful thanks to the model and to my friends.”

Her career as pho-tographer is not that much big, but she could exhibit her work in many online Magazines and in the Exhibition „Sensorama“ in Germany. Since 5 months she came back to Italy, in Rome, but she move often to Berlin. Anyway, Irma still has many projects…

“The work i’m sending you, it has something to do with my “come back” to Italy. Rome is full Hotels because of the big touristic afflu-ence and after almost 7 Years away, it was for me like staying no-where, in a space without memories or private sphere. So i started to photograph the Hotel’s receptions around the city…”

Lizette Grecowww.lizettegreco.com

The works of Lizette Greco are the product of a full family collaboration, a couple creating with their young daughter and son. Their plush art is based on the children’s drawings and made using only thrifted and recycled materials. They also accept commissions for pieces using drawings from other children. Their aim is to create artwork that cel-ebrates a child’s perspective of the world and will hopefully be passed from generation to generation.

Can you write briefly about your toys? as a family, we make three dimensional representations of our children’s drawings. Because they are made with fabric, they are often referred to as soft sculptures, soft toys, softies, plush toys or plushies. The photographs and occasional videos we take of our work help tell a story that explains more about the original drawing. Children are always happy to see their drawings trans-formed into toys and we enjoy the challenge that each new drawing represents вЂ“ the search for materials, developing a pattern, constructing the object, and finding the proper scene to photograph it. our work is shared online, in shows, exhibits, and fairs, and has also been published in three books along with creations from other plush artists.

What materials do you use? at this point all of our sculptures are made using recycled and thrifted materials. We are constantly collecting fabrics (often vintage) and stuffing from thrift stores and salvaging cardboard, wire and foam from wherever we can find it.


moloko+ magazine

Do you name your toys? Yes. many of our soft toys are named by our children when they draw them. For the others, we work as a family to find a proper name.

Where do such ideas of your characters come from?our characters come directly from our children’s (and other people’s children’s) drawings which are products of their imagi-nation, what they are reading, the stories we tell, the subjects they are studying, the topics we have seeded, the adventures we take, the people they meet, etc. They find a lot of inspiration in their daily lives. in some instances we combine several drawings to create more detailed pieces such as Bear Totem, See-through Predator and the Árbol installation we recently left in Buenos aires, argentina.

After 6 years of this, the combination of this two lines of work carry me to the puppets you are watching here, as a part of a project named “essay on power”.This project is form by a (always growing) number of minimalistic wooden puppets, all of them incomplete, all of them with something missed.”

Flying StarToyswww.flyingstartoys.com

“With each toy that comes to light under my fingertips I have found that underneath the cloth, deep within its soul, there should be a peacefulness, a quietude that radiates its fine and soothing light. This is the hallmark of Flying Star Toys which I still believe is sounded out in the Flying Star Toys manifesto which I penned a few years ago.The Flying Star Toys Manifesto: To bring joy to the weary heart, to be a light in the darkness, and to be a vision of compassion is what it means to be a Flying Star.

over time this spirit has become more and more important to me. my toys have a simple, classic look with a focus on unique silhouettes. i choose every fab-ric and fibre carefully in such a way that each element brings together a whole that resonates with the poetic character of the toy. my inspiration ranges widely from literature, mythology, folk tales and art to name a few, but mostly i wait for shapes to catch the corner of my eye and i gather the small threads of its story into my needle.

i’ve been designing toys for about 4 years and i still have a lot to learn, this means that there are more toy designs to come. i enjoy making each toy, prepar-ing that toy for someone who has found Flying Star Toys and feels in tune with the spirit and soul of the little one that has captured their heart. each toy requires precision and mindfulness to achieve their sculpted shape and tailored finish. A toy being made simply for money doesn’t garner such devotedness i have dis-covered, so at present i have a notion, perhaps old fashioned, that i’m making a little treasure for someone’s soul.

i know that many of my patrons have requested a printed story card for Rain Berries. The Rain Berry story:

Falling from the clouds or rolling down a cheek, running down your window pane or glisten-ing on a leaf is where to look for Rain Berries. Rain Berries is a name coined to contain all forms of water drops. dew drops are Rain Berries. Tears are Rain Berries. Rain drops are Rain Berries. Have you ever traced the path of a rain drop on a window glass? Have you marvelled at the tiny dew drops covering the grass in the early morning? Perhaps you’ve collected the tears that have run down the cheek of someone you love. You might not have known it, but you were in the presence of Rain Berries.”
