Illustrative 2009
Paris, Zurich and now Berlin: ILLUSTRATIVE 2009 will return to the creative capital to celebrate the cutting-edge works of contemporary graphic art for the fifth time around. From the 15th of October to the 1st of November, works ranging from drawing, graphic prints, painting and monumental mural collages to graphically inspired 3D-illustrations, book art and animation will be on show. With more than 60 artists from all across the world, ILLUSTRATIVE brings together an inspiring cornucopia of visual contemporary culture in the Villa Elisabeth located in the heart of Berlin.
ILLUSTRATIVE showcases an international scene of artist-designers, whose works have been inspired by subculture movements like comic and graffiti as well as by applied arts like illustration and book art. The exhibition explores the merging of infinite materials and techniques in widely unprecedented combinations, which challenge learned ways of seeing – e.g. the latest development, where illustration and graphics are translated into the third dimension, or new narrative strategies in 3D-animation.

YOYO CREATIVO
The "hot thing" in last fairs and events has been a 100% Spanish creation: everybody talked about Victoria by YoYócreativo. Presented in Barcelona’s Bread&Butter 09 and reproposed in MICAM MODACALZADO fairs, the stand of Spanish company Victoria created by YoYócreativo has been acclaimed like one of the best. The philosophy of YoYóCreativo aka Josep Ruà Blasco and Nelly Dominguez de Juan, could be summed in "slow innovation". In fact, always searching for young and innovative languages, the duo of spanish interior designers don’t forget their spanish roots, lined with the conception of "slow design". The result is a mix of simple lines, sophisticated shape, mediterrean colours and explosive creativity. In the case of the collaboration with Victoria shoes, this could happen also thanks the presence of two of the most creative and innovative illustrators right now: Marta Abad Blay and Valero Doval, both spanish but contaminated from dutch and english culture, transform space into a captivating Wonderland. Totally hand-made and unique, in opposition with triviality and pre-fabricated design: this is the new idea of the fair’s space that shows the potentiality of ephemeral architecture, but above all is the perfect interpretation of the mood of Victoria’s new collection: optimism, colour and energy are the key-words.

Keep Calm Gallery
The original poster Keep Calm and Carry On was issued upon the outbreak of World War 2 as a means of allaying public fear. The poster was held in reserve for use only in times of extreme crisis. Although thousands were produced, only a handful ever saw the light of day. Even today 'Keep Calm and Carry On' is a phrase which perfectly encapsulates the traditional British 'stiff upper lip! And the guys at Keep Calm Gallery surely knew its potential success. Keep Calm Gallery was established in January 2007 by Lucas Lepola and Hayley Thwaites. We founded the online gallery as a result of our passion for typography in poster design, British heritage and the medium of screen printing.
In the early days KCG was run from our university halls and after graduating we each worked from our parent's homes a few hundred miles apart. KCG is now run from our home office in South London where we eat, sleep and live amongst bubble wrap, postal tubes, boxes and lots of lovely art.
