NO†CH 09 - SHANGHAI!

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Hey yo, this is hitting from the other side of the world.That’s pretty much what we’re told in Finland when we were kids digging holes in the ground. Our Pops and Moms would always be saying that dig deep enough and you’ll come out in China. Quite funny, as we sure have been digging deep, three shifts per day, all night and all around up til dawn. And yes, finally we’re seeing light at the end of the tunnel. And what happens when we pop out?

The NO†CH Festival that’ll go down the 27th of October and goes on until 4th of November in Shanghai, China. It will cater a more than interesting palette of designers / creative heads / musicians / artists and connoisseurs. These include some of my favorites, Henrik Vibskov, Uusi Fantasia, Kokoro & Moi, Pekka Finland and these i’m just naming on the basis of what i know. The rest is something that’ll surely widen my eyes, no doubt about it.

The palette seems tight as a diamond and taking it to Shanghai must be thrilling to the bone marrows for each one participating.

And us, CTRL, are there in forms of an exhibition at a gallery space and tight store called The Source and will be having an exhibition together with Tuukka ‘Deeli’ Kaila. The exhibition will open on the 31st of November and goes through all of November. How many days is that?

Please stay tuned for more about this as we’re finalizing the last bits of it all.

We recently produced a limited re-edition series of t-shirts. There’s 6 different retrospect graphics from the colorful history of sweet baby Jesus, CTRL! These were only for the Japanese market, but we snatched a small piece of the pie, no offense, you know we’re like kids at the bisquit stash. These are now up and online on our WEBSTORE..
