Artwork by nousvous.eu

Last night I went to a private view held by http://www.projectspaceleeds.org.uk, it was brilliant! A group of Leeds based artists had been brought together to exhibit work for the theme ‘Morphic Resonance’. The main question driving the exhibition was: ‘How is there space for artists in our cultural landscape?’. Being quite new to Leeds I was chuffed to discover so many proffessional artists attending the event and contributing. A piece of work which has really stuck in my mind involved a video of a whole room slowly filling up with water, which was somehow transfixing. The video was very slow, but somehow this made it feel all the more interesting as though you were being given a private insight into something very unusual and something your not likely to see again. As that piece suggests, there was a lot of work relating to space and how modern artists interact and percieve this space. Nous Vous produced the promotional artwork for the event and also exhibited. Their work never ceases to impress espcecialy their impeccable typography.

The Lemon Life

lemonlife

Launched on Saturday 9th of May 2009, this is my first trans-atlantic project! ‘The Lemon Life’ is an organisation based in Toronto which offers advice and help to people in the inbetween phases of life just before and just after graduating from university. So understandably this site has taken on a kind of online newspaper feel, full of interesting bits and bobs for its young proffessional audience. The site was built using a wordpress cms system, which suits the site greatly, I;m really looking forward to seeing this get populated with much more content and whatch the project grow using the system in place. www.thelemonlife.com
