Poor Hachiko just can't catch a break. First he dies waiting for a master that will never return, then gets stuffed and mounted in a museum. Now the poor thing is being remembered in the most garish way possible: as a rhinestone-encrusted...thing, judging by this video from Japan Probe (available after the jump).

A replica of the famous life-sized memorial statue in Shibuya has been absolutely drowned in glittery pink rhinestones and crystal adornments, resulting in the so-called "Love Hachiko," part of the "Deco-style" art lineup. The artists who sullied Hachiko's honor are also known for doing the same to Mt. Fuji in a previous work.

I hope Dog Heaven is treating Hachiko's memory well, because fallible humans on earth haven't.

ChACO, la primera feria de arte contemporáneo realizada en Chile concluyó hace unos días en el Club de Planeadores de Santiago. Base tuvo el privilegio de diseñar el sitio web de la feria que presentamos hace algunas semanas y el catálogo que verán a continuación.

El catálogo muestra las 26 galerías (19 chilenas y 7 internacionales) incluyendo 713 (Argentina), Bendana Pinel (Francia), Nueveochenta, Animal, Cecilia Palma, AFA, A.M.S. Marlborough, Artespacio, Sextante (Colombia) and Sicart (España), 9 instituciones ligadas al arte y 3 universidades que participaron de la primera versión de la feria.
Al igual que en el sitio web, el concepto que guió el diseño de este catálogo se basa en la observación del recorrido mismo de una feria. Al recorrerla, uno observa cada galería como una unidad que a la vez forma parte un conjunto mayor que se organiza de manera horizontal y se percibe de manera fragmentada por los muros y objetos que interrumpen la vista. De la misma manera, el libro muestra las obras organizadas en un único eje horizontal, con sus títulos fragmentados en los bordes que refuerzan esta idea.

I left got back from LA…

Hella Tight makes a return alongside fellow West Coasters U-N-I for a snap-back cap, taking on the Hip-Hop duo’s “Land of The Kings” theme and old school team design. The cap sports a Lakers-friendly Purple/Yellow colorway with a satin undervisor and matching satin button, packaged nicely in one of Hella Tight’s signature hat boxes. A release is scheduled for tomorrow, via the Hella Tight online store.

In a dense forest on a slight hill in the Canadian Laurentians sits a new house by YH2_Yiacouvakis Hamelin Architectes, "A forgotten shipwreck at the heart of the forest."

Can’t lose with this one.

Even though Swagger is better known for their more colorful take on things, once in a while you also find solid classics in their collection, such as this new hooded duffle coat. It comes in grey and in navy and is perfect for the Fall season. The jacket is now available from choiceisyours.
