ColourNext 2013: Behind the Scenes

It's that time of the year again. Here are some snapshots of the studio during the weeks leading up to last week's annual colour forecast by Asian Paints. This year, ColourNext 2013 (the 10th year of ColourNext, and Trapeze's third year of working on CN) was launched at India Design ID 2013, Delhi.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe

Not exactly what Magritte meant...but after all the cutting and welding (and gif-ing), these were definitely not just pipes any more.

We Are 7!

A Summer of Curious Content

From a film studio that wanted a series of quirky installations to a shoe brand that wanted upcycled installations. Flying piglets that met swinging tyres. Jumping cube-faced men that broke through walls and insect-creatures that perambulate shakily. Here is a sneak peek of works in progress and finished pieces. The creatures await in the sidelines while BBMP cleans up the streets.

The months prior to installation saw Georgie and Sarita driving to and fro with piggy parts.

A series of upcycled art installations created and curated by Trapeze for Puma to be displayed along the streets and public areas of Bangalore.  We worked with  a group of artists- Maya and her bench, Vivek and Nachi with their Cycle Creature, Pradeep and Nanaiah with tyres and Trapeze with Letters of Joy. Material was scoured from the Dovetail waste bin, from the City Market, cycle and tyre sheds.
