Random Video presents Lukas Goller

by davidelp 29 December 2010

The guys at Random Video spend most of the year closely with Lukas and Watza. I assume they spend more time with them than with their girlfriends.
At the end of the year everything summarizes in a three minute videopart, that are often not enough to tell the whole story.
This is why Random adds the “Random Presents” clips: 45 seconds with the riders featured in Too Much Too Serious. Here’s the clip dedicated to Lukas Goller.

p.s. Lukas has also designed with Andrea Vecchi the snowear bastard 2010 collection. Keep up the good work Luki!

ICONOLOGIA

A four hands project from Rise Above and Scarful on iconology, in collaboration with Profile Expo & Grab Magazine.

Figures coming from classicism, religion, philosophy as well as arts, crafts or simple popular traditions, reviewed in an encyclopedical work in which in which figures and oggetti simbolici vengono accorpati e rielaborati con sapienza.

An impressive overview of iconographic figures, each one describing a modus, a virtue, a phisical or mind place , an attitude or character.

Olimpia Zagnoli Small Talk

by jep 29 December 2010

We love Olimpia Zagnoli‘s work – in the next bastard Artistuff collection out in march 2010 there is an Olimpia’s artwork on t-shirt – but I knew a little about her hystory. I discovered that she went as a child to the famous Reggio Emilia’s kindergartens, which I met some time ago.

In this video that resumes her recent lecture at AIGA/NY she talks about herself, her inspiration sources and her work in New York.

Random Video at bastard store

by davidelp 29 December 2010

Matteo Borgardt, a.k.a. Whatza, back from his spiritual trip around India, just came by to say what’s up. He showed up with Alessandro Miniotti, a.k.a. Killer, deus ex machina of Random Video.

Killer gave us the last few copies available of Too Much Too Serious, italian snowboard movie produced by Random Video, with two terrific videoparts by Whatza and Lukas Goller along with Tato Chiala, Lorenzo Barbieri and Filippo Kratter, just to mention a few. If you didn’t see yet come to the bastard store to grab your own copy, it comes for free with the november issue of Sequence.

As a reward, we gave Killer a brand new Degree jacket so that he can stay warm and protected during the filming sessions for the next video.

Danny Galli on Pure Skateboarding 3

by giuli 29 December 2010

About a week ago, Pure Skateboarding, magazine created by Mirai Pulvirenti and the Baco boys, came out with issue 3.
In the double spread above that opens up the mag, we see Danny Galli fs lipsliding the cradle at the Knodel bowl in Brescia.
Even if Danny still has a few weeks of forced rest ahead, it’s good to see him reaping the seeds of this year’s alarming productivity on his side.

On the other hand the weird (and dated) image on the cover shows Gargy, a.k.a. Alessandro Gargiullo, long time roman skater, in the big pants small wheels era, ak.a. the early 90s, at the famous EUR Palombini spot in Rome.

The leit motiv of this issue is infact an excerpt of Gargy’s memories and pictures, of which he decided to make a book on his twenty-more years of skateboarding.

Gargy tells us about the uncomfort and social akwardness of a young boy in the outskirts of Rome who chooses a slightly different route for entertaining himself. Then the realization that this diversity is a value that opens the door to a brand new world that carries along friends, an actual subculture and a real long term lifestyle.
